Hi. I'm a pagan. I am mostly, though not exclusively, Hellenic.
Apollon, Dionysus, Hecate and Hermes are the deities I honor the most.
I'm also into the occult.

✨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.

New story up for all subs, a commission sponsored by an awesome client 💜
Dionysus visits King Oineus and Queen Althaia and shares more than just his wine with them...
Consensual #cuckolding story with a happy ending.

Bacchus, the god of wine (also known as Dionysus to the Greeks) lounges semi-nude in a golden and burgundy gown while holding a spectre of some kind. This is likely a thyrsus, but the telltale details are missing.
Bacchus appears to be wearing a garland - a very typical thing in his iconography. Just off on stage right appears to be another figure holding a dish. The background of this scene is a brilliant warm red.
The fresco comes from a house that was built on the same site, but prior to, the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. It is thought to date to the early second century CE. The house was revealled during archaeological excavations in 2022 and can be seen today as part of the tour of the baths.

@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.

@kris_of_pnictogen I mean, water into wine? Who can think of a more #Dionysian miracle?!!!

One of many examples... @kris_of_pnictogen

@kris_of_pnictogen Yeah, but all the donkey stuff started with #Dionysus! Even the riding the donkey through the adoring (and maybe tripping) crowds!

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

O Holy Dionysus
Of the ivy and the vine
I ask for your presence
I ask for your blessings
Lord of ecstatic revelation
Lord of the altered mind
Show me the world as it truly is
Allow me to see the truth
For in your presence I will dance
Wild and abandoning reason
And for the world I ask a boon
Show them the hurt they cause
Let them feel it too
For in feeling lies compassion
Show them too the lies they tell
To others and to themselves
That they may learn to live truthfully
And allow others to do the same
Lord of the vine and the ivy
Stand with us today
Walk, perhaps crookedly, along this path with us
Lord of introspection
Grant us your gifts
Walk with us as we navigate life, O holy Dionysus

✨It’s that Bacchus time of year✨
This hazy time between Saturnalia and the New Year has me a bit befuddled - much like this depiction of Bacchus! Hope these days are treating you well.

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!

I didn't put a WHOLE lot of thought into blogging under the "Bacchus" pseudonym when I started ErosBlog back in 2002, but ever since that day I haven't been able to resist posting any kind of Bacchanalian or Dionysian themed erotic art, especially when it features my beloved satyrs and fauns.
