I wrote a paper about the similarities of #Dionysian #iconography in the grave stele of early #Christians. Donkeys, wine, surrounded by "loose women" that were liberated... There's a LOT of similarities!

Oh, are we doing Last Supper versus Bacchanalian/Dionysian revelry discourse tonight? Fun! All the best fights boil down to drinking contests between the Christians and the pagans. Hint: we always win!

Here's my contribution to the discourse: https://www.erosblog.com/2016/12/24/reveling-reveling-reveling/

Post features the painting "The Youth Of Bacchus" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. The youth are drunk, naked, and worshipping their asses off.

Greetings.

Here's a little #introduction. I want to stay connected, but I'm getting sick of ads, algorithms, and other hazards of more conventional social media, so I'm trying out Mastodon.

I was born in the early 80s. I have lived in the US states of #Louisiana, #Georgia, and #Kentucky. I have a bachelor's degree in English.

I'm a #pagan, #polytheist, and #animist devoted primarily to a few Greek and Egyptian deities. I'm a #Dionysian. My practice includes daily #meditation, devotional activities to various deities and spirits, finding modern ways to celebrate ancient holidays, and ancestor work, among other things.

I also enjoy #drawing, #painting, #flowarts, #hiking, #reading, #writing, watching #movies, and #gaming in my spare time.

Some other interests include #animation, #anthropology, #buddhism, #divination, #folklore, #history, #linguistics, #literature, #music, #mythology, #psychology, #puppetry, #religion, and #theatre.

I mention this because I was slightly irritated by my attraction to the catchphrase "This is the way" in Disneys #Starwars series #theMandalorian.

Well, I knew before that #GeorgeLucas was inspired by Daoism and #zen Buddhism eventually #Nietzsches #appollonian and #dionysian Principles as well as the idea of the #roman #oldrepublic vs the rise of #theEmpire, but were irritated that Disney seems to try to get a grip at least some of that ideas.

That brings me to the relevant point for

I am doing some research in my own on the #dionysian myth and find it very annoying who multifaceted and multirooted, not to mention much back in the past this all is.

I would like to read more to the connections between the eleusian mysteries, the orphic mysteries and the dionysian ties. This is in many ways an interesting topic.

For example the druids were connected to the pythagoreans it is told and they had this orphic and reincarnation belief wich has ties up to india.

#WalterOtto draws a connection from the #dionysian #maenads and their frenzy and ecstacy to the medieval phaenomenon of #Tanzwut or in english #dancingmania.
#Paracelsus (1492-1541 CE) wrote about this, naming it #choreomania.
It is a psychic epidemic which forces the befallen to dance till exhaustion and breakdown or death.

The #dyonisanorgies were probably more like religious choreomania and spiritual ecstasy and sexual of a certain kind than our todays imagination of a penetration orgy.

While reading up inspiring stuff about the #dionysian cult it came to my mind to write an article about the art of writing and letters in general and celtic writing systems in special. And with celtic I dont refer to #Ogham in the first place.

Gaulish and leptonic letters are a fascinating subject, also celtiberian letters. It's a shame everyone (including me) is in germanic or dwarven #runes or some medieval stuff, complete ignorant of all the writing system in use in old ages.
