✨Dionysus was interested in seafood?✨
This is part of the recently uncovered House of Thiasos at Pompeii which is covered in sprawling and near life sized portraits of followers of Dionysus including Silenus (seen here with a young lady). But it seems that the veneration of Dionysus would be incomplete indeed without some fine marine creatures!

✨Dionysus and Spes (Maybe)✨
Dionysus is dressed in his panther-skin best and wears a garland to boot. He’s joined by a smaller figure more archaic in style which is thought to represent Spes, the personification of hope. But maybe that’s more HOPEFUL thinking since one of stops on the journey of provenance was as part of the Hope collection. Either way, this beautiful sculpture also considered to be a Roman reimagining of a Greek bronze from the fourth century BCE.

@novafuture Um, have you heard about the #Dionysus / #Bacchus cults? Or ritual #Saki drinking? Or beer and wine in #AncientEgypt (so important that some were buried with it)? And yes, alcohol was given to workers because the water was contaminated. The history of alcohol (and other mind-altering substances) goes back further than modern marketing hype. And yes. Everything in moderation.

Facts about some religions...
#Christianity is based on #Mithras and #Dionysus cults. And some branches of modern #Witchcraft are based on Christianity (#Gardnerian). Just leaving that out there...

The “mural” of the story: Silo art enhances community
While traveling this year, we have been fortunate to see several outstanding examples of grain elevator/silo art being employed in cities and towns across the heartland. Given the naturally gray/beige color of these enormous structures, a splash of bright, bold colors or an inspiring image can enhance not just the towering structure itself, but also help brighten the entire surrounding neighborhood.
While approaching either downtown Salina, Kansas or Mankato, Minnesota, one cannot help but be impressed by the sky-high artistry depicted on the local grain elevator silos. The towering images of unity, community, diversity, and friendship in these two mid-sized prairie cities are breathtaking. Meanwhile, when entering Toledo along Interstate 75, the Glass City River Wall fronting the Maumee River immediately captures your attention.
Few community placemaking efforts can create such an immediate, meaningful, and positive response from locals and visitors alike. Personally, this retired planner prefers those silo murals that have a local historical and/or human connection versus just painting them to add color or a standardized patriotic theme. Such a direct connection is important to build both initial and continuous support from the community.
The murals also help promote civic pride and create a catalyst towards the rebirth of aging sectors of the city/town. Just imagine an outdoor performance venue with these 100+ foot tall icons overlooking the busy festivities below. Similar projects have been done successfully at former steel mills in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (SteelStacks) and Birmingham, Alabama (Sloss Furnaces) and at a former grain elevator in Buffalo, New York (RiverWorks).
Or perhaps a food truck rodeo could be established at the base of the silos serving up delicious meals throughout the week. Or they could become the centerpiece of a civic plaza with fountains, courtyards, light shows, and landscaping adoring the site. Honestly, the sky’s truly the limit for ideas employing these immensely impressive structures.
Kudos to each city/town here in the United States and elsewhere who have found the wherewithal to take visual art to exciting new heights. Below are images of the six silo murals we observed. Peace!

A #dragqueen-led #openingceremony #performance evoking “The #LastSupper” sparked #outrage among #Christian #groups. It was actually a #homage to the #Greek #God #Dionysus.

Many on the American right lambasted it as #antiChristian but the #official #Olympics #account on X (formerly #Twitter), made clear it was “#interpretation of the #GreekGod #Dionysus,” and nothing to do with #hateful #christanity.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
#Dionysos is returning from #India in this mosaic from #Tunesia. His chariot is pulled by #tigers and winged Nike (victory) is riding with the victorious demigod. A riotous procession of bacchants surrounds the chariot.

For all my recent #followers...I don't really have a message or agenda. I'm not here for going #viral or anything. I'm a shameless #flirt, an #introspective mess, a buzzed #buddhist, a #polyamourous agitator, a #sex #positivity advocate and a #lover of #love . I'm a #lovestruck poet, a perpetual child, drinking equal parts #wonder and #wine. Im a student of #Dionysus , #hedon, #heathen, late in the game full human being. If you ever wanna know anything about me, just shout.
