O' God of the Vine, O' Prince of Wine. Without thee, The word would be so gray; Without thee, The world would be so bleak. So come, let us play; So come, let us seek. In Your name Lord Dionysus, So mote it be! Pleasure, for Pleasure's sake! (Edit and PS) As someone who has worked with Lord Dionysus for almost three months, you must always remember that He is a God of sensuality. Whatever *you* find nice, He most likely will. As a God of foreigners, He is always open to novel offerings. Don't shut Him out from the glory of our modern life.
As an actress I have always had an appreciation for Dionysus as he is a god of theater. But I didn’t begin working with him until 2022. I have always been a bit up tight. I am an over-achiever, constantly critiquing myself and aiming higher to achieve my goals. Dionysus came into my life and helped me realize I need to release and surrender into festivity and ecstasy more often so I might enjoy my life more. I work with Dionysus when I attend or host gatherings and when I choose to put myself outside of my comfort zone. I call upon him to help me feel more free and enthusiastic about my surrounding energies and the possibilities they might have. Dionysus and I parties hard in Argentina where I got massively drunk on wine at a tango show, professed my love for my husband on a public city bus, got down on my knees and hit on my husband’s father (he is partly responsible for my husband being so awesome after all) and then a blacked out and puked everywhere. It was one of the best nights of my life. The hangover the following day, was not so great, but it was still worth it. Thank you, Dionysus. 🍇🖤
When I was younger I did a somewhat ritual which evolved me blasting music aloud and me dancing in the rain for hours while a big white candle with flowers burned. When 3 hours passed i decided i should go inside as im cold and wet so i tried to blow the candle out. It wouldnt blow out so i knew someone was there. I apologised and thanked them for watching over me but that i needed to go get dry. Again the candle didnt blow out. Not even the howling wind from the storm outside helped so I showed my sister telling her how the candle wouldnt blow out and it blew out on its own when she was there 😂 Mind you i was trying to do that for half and hour and the flames were crazy high. It was my first time experiencing anything like that. Im pretty sure its Dionysus so im planning to try and reconnect to both apologize and thank him. I got a purple area quartz which is SUPER PRETTY, i put some gold rings on it as it looks and feels right and i got him some honey comb homemade candy which i thought he'll like.
I'm a young practicer of the craft (like, still living with my parents young). I recently got into Dionysus. I've been wanting to follow him for a while, but never had the confidence to break from my parents placed path. This has been the beginning of my research.
Thank you thank you thank you! My husband and I have been worshiping Dionysus since the Spring and we both noticed he had been calling us for a long time--probably ever since we met-- because most of the songs we perform (18th century baroque opera) relates in some way to him. We've set up a beautiful altar to him filled with antiques relating to him along with amethysts and pinecones and on it is a bust of him that's also a planter with ivy in it. We call him The D and he finds it hilarious
He really enjoys music, especially music about him or even battle songs since he’s the god of war music. The drum major’s baton is actually based on the thyrsus
1:38 I agree and thank you. It drives me insane to how many Christians Do this. As a Christian myself *I’m looking into Paganism and Witchcraft* I don’t like How Christians Do this especially if they are the ones who start the Fight first because this is what gives the Christian Community bad rep and Poor Innocent Christians are Victims of hate. The More You hate the More hate you get back. And I get that Christians don’t like Witchcraft or Whatever because of their Beliefs. It doesn’t make Sense to go on someone’s Page and Obliterate it right there. Forgive the Christian Community 😞 As a Christian I will defend You guys because what they are re doing is only making things Worse. Thank you. Blessed be ❤️
I appreciate you and your kind words. We appreciate the ones like yourself that are understanding about what we do so thank you so much for that! Blessed be!
"...you just get this aroma of like,, wine or grapes or something, he is most likely trying to get to work w u" ***sitting with my computer and some grape fanta, sweating profusely***
Just a tip from a priest of Dionysus, organising in a cult devoted to him is extremely useful. A priest or a few priests can handle the direct work with the god, leaving the rest of the cult to benefit from his favour and his blessing. Also makes parties easier to arrange.
The signs I had of Dionysus calling to me was at work. I work at a thrift store and I go help process all the items that come through. One day I had two full pallets, all wine related decor. ALL OF IT. Of both boxes. And I kept feeling him and he even used TikTok cause for a while all I was seeing was people who worked with him and how to work with him. When I went out to shop and get items for his altar, there was literally a full sized wine bottle, empty, in my path. I literally talked to him after picking up and told him “I am aware! I’m getting stuff to make an altar, just wait a few hours.” He did and he showed me all the items he wanted and guided me.
I started working with Dionysus some two years ago? It came out of nowhere and I ended up making a small altar out of an Altoids tin that he seemed to really take to. There sits an enamel pin I got of him with little bottles of amethyst and bones followed by acorns and pinecones to represent his thyrsus. Finally bismuth due to its wild hues and the association between its rainbow colors and his sexuality. I also really like to burn dried grape leaves and such for him along with lavender incense. He's pretty awesome to work with and giver offerings to ^^
He once showed up to me in a dream as black goat and I now keep a little statue of one on my altar for him. I also keep a plant on my altar because he is the god of vegetation, any kind of vining plants are a great choice for him
Thank you for this informative video! I’ve felt pretty fascinated about Dionysus as well as the Celtic goddess Cerridwen! Maybe one day I’ll get a chance to work with them but I’m happy learning until then
I have wine glass with amethysts and cinnamon in it. Apple, Iron grape decor throughout my house. Purfume holders, plant stands. Grape candle holders. There is so much cool stuff in resale.
I'm recently getting into paganism and had a deity reading. One of the deities that was suspected as one that was reaching out to me or wanting to work with me was Dionysus. So I started doing some research. One night I had a dream where the name Dionysus was just repeated several times. Then the next night I asked him for confirmation if it was him reaching out to me through my dream the night before. He didn't explicitly appear, and I didn't hear his name, but I did dream about being part of the theater, and that felt like a pretty clear sign since he also enjoys the theater. The grape smell thing gave me a chuckle, just because my house has a grapevine that my in laws planted before I met my husband, and every year when they're close to being ripe, you can smell them all around the house outside, and if there's a window open, you can smell them in the house. We make grape juice every year. Now maybe I can start dedicating some of that to Dionysus.
Dionysus has appeared to me in two forms: that of a portly man who spoke of perceptions, normality, and insanity (in my dreams, followed by an unordered helping of grapes woth my brealfast the next morning) and as a bull headed man in purple robes at a crossroads (in a particularly deep trance whilst in a circle)
If you take frankincense resin, dissolve it in wine and drain the resin bearing wine from the dregs left behind, you can take that mix and add some honey, then bind cinnamon powder into a paste, to make stick or cone incense.
Dinoysus is then new deity in my life, I’m doing a lot of research, on him, and a lot of small things he likes- poems, etc. I’m gonna have grapes for lunch in honor of him
I found he really liked when I had a feast on him for a dedicated day. And the pinecones are a thing too. I felt a big urge to collect a bunch. Now I know where that came from.
Could you maybe do a video on how to notice the different signs of different Gods and Goddesses? Like a long list of Gods & Goddesses and their symbolism, maybe you could talk about some things not easily found on google or through any other search engine. You could do 1 video on one pantheon and then the next week on another pantheon etc... Just an idea
Thank you for making this video. I'm drawing and writing a character based on Dionysus and getting some kinda communication with him would be a great way to help the creative process instead of just burdening myself with webpages.
Your comment is much appreciated for helping out those trying to learn, feel free to comment whenever you want, I monitor for rude people but this channel has a very good and friendly base to it so feel free to always put in your input! 😊
Today I sat before a purple and green candle I got for Dionysus. I recently felt him calling, the first deity to call to me! I casted a circle and lit his candles. I asked if he was with me, and his candles actually moved to the right. After, they burned strong and steady. I was so surprised I actually laughed out loud. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I finally have realized Dionysus’s calling thanks to your knowledge and teaching. Thank you!
A libation bowl, wide and shallow, is handy as the wine will evaporate and dry into nothing but a coating on the bottom. Wash out ritualistically after it is gone every now and again, but it should be fine.
Hey there, I’m pretty new to spirituality and witchcraft, i just got done meditating, and heard the name Dionysus. I have never researched the Greek pantheon before nor have I heard the gods name before, this was literally 20 minutes ago. I was wondering, could this be him reaching out to me, trying to get my attention? This also happened with the name Diana, which I know is the Roman goddess. If this is, how could I build that relationship?
Im thankful for this video as ive never really considered Dionysus (ive not done much deity work) but in my garden and as a hope to just celebrate life and the good times i burned some lavender and lit a green candle since then ive been feeling the itch to learn more
I worked with Dionysus for about half a year in 2022 and I just want to add that he’s actually very fond of Ube boba milktea or just any ube desserts in general. The purple god loves his purple food!!!
Oh my god I was having a conversation about working with goddess Isis Hecate and Zeus with a Christian friend of mine and they told me to pray to Jesus to see the light and not invite these demonic entities 😓 then I told him I call on to Archangels for protection and they had literally nothing to say other than maybe I’m in your life to help you see the correct path. Stopped talking to them that instant. ⛓👀 my family practices Hinduism and we have idol worship and plenty of gods too I’ve never really connected to any that’s a different thing but It’s like calling them demonic too just to prove a point that I need Jesus 🥲
Well you see. That’s another problem because that doesn’t mean you can hate Christianity and People of that Faith. Anyway, yea believe what you want or what you like but don’t go hating Someone’s Faith or that Person. Thank you 😊
@@TheBestOne_hi_34 that’s what happened to me, my faith was demonised 🙂 I was more than respectful about Christianity 😀 I don’t believe in telling people who and what to believe In. Hate is a strong word and I don’t use it in any context whatsoever. 🤍🦋 maybe what I was trying to say got lost in translation. I absolutely did not say I hate Christians or the religion.
@@Theyellowpowerpuff Yes, sorry Was a But Cruel I guess. But Did they really demonize It or were they generally Caring for you as friends Would? Thank you for Clearly up the Miss understanding. Don’t worry It be ok. 🥺❤️☺️
As far as incense goes the gods are completely fine with scented candles and wax melts. You can get practically any scent that way. Incense has been around a long time and scented wax is a newer invention so you hear about it less.
Merry meet, sister. Lord Dionysus is especially great with newcomers and beginners, as He is one of the few Gods (along with Athena and Hermes) that frequently interacts with humans. He is also the youngest, so He isn't as stingent towards miasma.
Of course! Grape juice (especially sparkling), olive oil, water, honey, tea, coffee (in my experience, Lord Dionysus prefers tea), and many other non-alcoholic beverages. In mythology, Demeter is considered the Goddess of "dry" foods, whilst Lord Dionysus is the "wet" foods. Anything liquid is considered good offerings, especially if it's from fruit. As He is the God of fruit and orchards.
I find this really interesting, honestly I've never been big into religion, but I've always found paganism and witchcraft at the very least interesting! I've been wondering how I could get into this properly, could I ask for some tips?
A friend of mine looks quite a bit like the depictions of dionysus and they have always loved grapes and grape flavoured things , thay have been told that thay have a temper that Rivals chaos when angered but most of the time they're quite personable and thay love the wild places of the world whether it be big or small also they love amethyst and their favourite colours grow up we're green and purple and they still are... starting to wonder if dionysus meddled in their making? Edit: " Do I sound mad because they're just seems to be one too many coincidences and correlations between my friend and this god?"
today i lit a pine candle and started a playing card tarot spread and king of hearts showed up so then i did a tarot spread and the king of pentacles showed up. also earlier a artwork of dionysus showed up on my pinterest page context: i’m a minor, pine candle is a sign of dionysus, king of hearts/king of cups is a sign of addict/alcoholic, king of pentacles is a sign of wealth, confidence, and prosperity. thoughts?
A post with a mask on it is a traditional idol to Dionysus. Freestanding, not leaning, but otherwise just a log standing on end with a mask tied near the top. Maybe wrapped in a cloak or robe
I've vaguely just been feeling his energy around me, I can kinda tell he's there, but I don't know if he wants to work with me yet as he's not truly sending me signs and that's ok bc I'm not ready to work with him yet, I haven't even truly started my craft yet. I'm still researching and stuff, tho I do know I wanna do deity work, just not yet lol. So hopefully he waits to properly reach out till a bit later. But your videos are awesome bc I wanna get him an altar for worship(I view working with and worship as different things) as I do like his presents, it's comforting, in a weird way.
I need help here..I'm a witch myself, been practicing for 3 yrs and my patron deities are Artemis and Loki, for a while now I have been pulling out cards in my oracle deck related to Dyonisus (like "meanad" and "ecstasy") and I don't know if it's a sign or not ..
Absolutely! It could toys, statues, drawings, pictures, whatever. There's this one myth where a woman gave Lord Dionysus a...let's just say, amateur drawing of Him. And He totally accepted it. Because she gave it to Him with love and sincerity; because that was all she had to give.
I am inclined to ask, can you possibly someday do a video on Prometheus? I have worshipped and worked with him a long time but there seems to be so little information out there about offerings, stones, candle colors, incense, etc.
Should we give offering to deities all day? Is it compulsory? Becoz I have school work and stuff I cannot do it every day is it okay as long give offerings?
No, not all! In Hellenism, the Gods demand one thing and one thing only: Your best. And if your best is giving Lord Dionysus offerings once a week, once every two weeks, whatever; Then that is enough. Especially when it comes to Lord Dionysus.
Hello! Thank you for this very nice video of Dionysus. I was wondering if you could possibly help me with tarot cards that are associated with him? I know about the hierophant, but I want to know if you possibly have more information on more tarot cards? Specifically the Rider Waite deck. Thank you so much!
When everyone else has a cool story for why they are here but you just decided to join witchcraft like an hour ago cause your a PJO fan and realized “oh fuck maybe I actually wanna worship the gods???” And absolutely nothing has called out to me and I’m just like “LET ME IN LET ME INNNNN”
The way Dionysus reached out to me was I suddenly started relistening to Cabaret, wanted to eat grapes (I actually don’t normally like them), wanted to research the wine cycle all in one day 😂 I think taking a theatre class caught his attention
He always appears in my dreams as big cats (Lions,Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars, both black and spotted.) first time it was a black leopard or jaguar curled up on someone's kitchen counter like a house cat and we stared into each others eyes, he had eyes like a deep jade, or werecats or there's a Beauty and the Beast theme going on in them in various adaptations in one dream he was in the form of Ron Perlman's Vincent from the old TV show, that was a good one we snuggled and I twirled his mane, in another dream he was in the form of the werecat from MJ's Thriller chasing me round a park (whether he wanted to kill me or was just playing I don't know) and in another one it was a mashup of Disney's BATB and Joe Dante's The Howling I was in a bookstore doing a Belle on the sliding ladder, then I fell underneath the ladder the slid down to the floor when I stepped out he was there turning from man to beast.
No way. Im new on my journey and i was told me and him are connected. I had a weird dream this morning. I was sitting somewhere indoors i think eating a fruit. I looked up theres a big huge black cat in the doorway. It changed into a regular black cat. I threw the left over fruit at it. The cat just meows. Dream ends.
hey so question do you have to first have dionysus reach out to you to join his religon or can you choose to join (all while doing the steps) and do you have to be a certain age?
Merry meet, my friend. Firstly, no, not at all. Lord Dionysus approached me in a dream but many others of my coven have said that they approached Him. Just remember the concept of miasma whenever you speak to a Hellenistic deity. If you want to give offerings, rinse your hands (I use salt water because that's what the Ancient Greeks did but you don't have to). If you want to call upon Lord Dionysus and invite Him into your space: 1) take a shower and think about what He means to you, this will cleanse yourself of both physical and mental miasma; 2) cleanse the altar, whether with incense, sound, salt, whatever you have. Think of this as cleaning your house when you have a friend coming over. Remember, miasma isn't "sin," it's morally neutral; how would you feel if someone tracked mud into your home? It's rude, not wrong. Secondly, no, Lord Dionysus does not care about age, gender identity, sexuality, race, color, creed. In fact, He is the youngest of the Gods so He may resonate with you because of that. As long as YOU feel comfortable working with Him, go for it. But, remember, whatever you can do for Him, that is enough. My apologies for the long post but I hoped this helped. Please do not hesitate to ask me questions. Bacchic Blessings, my dear.
@@colt9836 i do have 2 more questions 1.im not fully aware on what miasma means so can you elaborate on what that means 2.i cant really get or make an altar because im pretty closeted on my beliefs so i thought i could just get a jar and put things that i heard dionysus liked such as amethyst grapes and anything associated with wine or the color purple then put purple and red candle wax on top so would i be able to do that? and if not are theyre any other options?
@@KaythatsGorey0666 Firstly, you could have a single plastic grape and that could be your altar to Lord Dionysus. Hellenism is orthodox, meaning the correct belief is more important; however you express such ideology is more-or-less irrelevant. As long as you adhere to correct cleaning of miasma. Secondly, misama is just spiritual "dirt" that we, as mortal beings, "collect." The Gods don't have a body (or at least one we can comprehend), but they do have a mind. Cleaning and cleansing yourself and your altar brings us closer to the Gods. The most crucial miasmic object is death, more specifically: mortality. The Gods are immortal and eternal; They do not fathom death. Thus it's rude to remind Them of it. Unless you are surrounded by death, you killed someone (not in self-defense, because Ares would extend his protection to you), or your altar is in unhygienic place (bathroom, closest, etc,..), miasma isn't something that you should stress about. As long as you bath regularly and wear clean clothes, you're completely fine. You said your closeted with your beliefs right? If you have an altar in an actual closet, I would physically clean and spiritually cleanse that area maybe every week? Two weeks? Whenever you can. Because that place collects dust and grime, which the former has dead skin cells, dead microorganisms, etc,... You can use whatever means you have. If can't burn anything, you can use a dish of salt (salt is especially sacred in Greek mythology) and place it there to act as a passive cleanser. Replace it every new moon or whenever. But I would dust regularly. Don't overthink it; the Gods will understand. They demand one thing and one thing only: Your best.
Strange note about offering wine to our intoxicated lord. If you offer a bottle of wine, and leave it on your altar for a significant length of time, please, please, I cannot say enough times PLEASE drink it. I know that for most deities, offerings should not be consumed, but, as someone whos been following Dionysus for 20 years, wine offered to Dionysus that is not drunk is wasted. Pick a night, a special night, and drink it. Feel it. Let it flow through your mouth and your veins and your bladder. Feel it tickle your brain. And if a bottle in a night is too much for you, by all means, invite a friend or two and pour them a glass. His blessings are to be shared. But whatever you do, if you offer Him a bottle, do /not/ throw it out.
Wow! As a Catholic who also practices astrology and identifies as a Wiccan Catholic, I have to say that what you just said in the intro shows that we are at the cusp of the dark ages here with polarization and censorship. Stay strong and keep on keeping on! 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Liked and subscribed. 🙏🏼
Odd offering I’ve found he likes; playing Sweeney Todd, it has similar traits and themes of vengeance and maddness, to one of his most famous plays, bacchus.
I woke up this morning, and all I could think of was their name… my family’s last name means “wine maker” and I have a tendency to overindulge myself in many ways. How do I work with them in moderation?
The wine part you got into but what about the psychedelic part of it and how do you make a altar to Dionysus and should magik mushrooms be used in the making of the wine and if it's a bottle with let's say a mushroom desolate it added to it and praised at the end of the month should it be drank and meditated upon the praises you offered after the month maybe even looked at as a form of reincarnation or a form of incarnation with Dionysus himself
Drink. Drinking and partying is worshiping Dionysus. The Greeks understood drunk partying to be an act of worshiping Dionysus, he is difficult to worship solitarily.
Indeed, my friend. Lord Dionysus is an amazing God, especially if you are a beginner. As His is half-human, raised by nymphs and satyrs, and was frequently in contact with humans, He is much more friendly and merry with us than His peers.
Im a Christian and I'm already 40 seconds into this and hearing about that his videos are being taken down is not right. As long as you respect the religion I have ill do the same to yours. My sister is pagan and I'm stuck between Christianity and working with other deities. So my advice is can it work in your opinion. If so thats great if not its fine too. I'm also interested in the egyptian mythology. Was thinking about Anubis but idk what to do
He's known for it more than any other Greek God. Drunkenness itself is Him inside you but sometimes He takes some people over. If He does that it's mostly just for the night though for a handful of people it's permanent
Hi great video Brother you know your stuff. I so glad you mention his dark side. I knew a guy that worked with him and tried to assume his essence, like channel him and the result were very, very bad. Only thing I would mention is form a beginner he may be too volatile. Good job.
Strange why they take your videos down, these people need to give me a few tips how to get channels that are abusing animals taken down. I have reported several channels, one were an idiot had given his dogs drugs, still there.
Are there any more deity's that can communicate through dreams? I talked to my more knowledgeable friends and they keep saying all signs point to Dionysus reaching out to me. But I'm still not entirely sure if it was him?
Merry meet, friend. In Greek mythology, *all* of the Gods communicate with us via dreams, as it is Hermes, Messager of Olympus, that sends us our nighttime activities. If you are still having these dreams, what are they about?
I'm a baby witch so keep in mind I'm not the best example. I had a recent dream not that long ago where a majority of my signs pointed to him, but some of the signs seemed to possibly indicate another deity, but I too was unsure. I had to look at my signs in my dreams, things I was seeing and see if it matched before I went got advice to seek out an expert who can help confirm the deity calling to me. Today I got my reading and 100% confirmed my intuition, something actually Dionysus wants me to work on ironically. I'd say trust in your intuition and if you have to seek out a professional who can help you confirm. It maybe one deity, maybe multiple. Again, I'm a baby witch literally learning so...take my info with a grain of salt if unsure. : P
My town is known for its apples and wine my mom used to have these plates with grapes on them and even a whole ass grape clump.shaped cookie jar so.needless to.say grapes have beeb a reacurring symbol in my life and im.thinkibg has he been trying to get my attention this whole time and one of my grandmas was obsessed with black panthers she had a statue of one. And my favorite marvel movie is black panther. Seriously wtf
Interesting and funny: modern heathens. So do what fullfilles you but stay in reality. For me this works different. God's or better Archetypes come and go regarding importance. The eradication of many archetypes due Christianity sure was a bad thing, archetypes also evolve and change. Every stage of civ produces it's own structures and specific archetypes but also specific imbalances in over prioritizing or under prioritizing specific archetypes. The limit is just the imagination ability of humanity.
Absolutely! Dionysus is the considered the God of "wet" foods, whereas Demeter is the "dry" foods. Grape juice (sparkling or not), water, milk, honey, tea, coffee, and more are all considered excellent offerings. But remember to give it as a libation when you feel it is necessary. In traditional Hellenic belief, the drink is poured onto the ground; if you can't, a clean sink will suffice. Speak of the God's name as you do so that They know you are offering it to Them.
Thank you all so very much for the support! I really hope you guys enjoy and as always, blessed be!
O' God of the Vine,
O' Prince of Wine.
Without thee,
The word would be so gray;
Without thee,
The world would be so bleak.
So come, let us play;
So come, let us seek.
In Your name Lord Dionysus,
So mote it be!
Pleasure, for Pleasure's sake!
(Edit and PS)
As someone who has worked with Lord Dionysus for almost three months, you must always remember that He is a God of sensuality.
Whatever *you* find nice, He most likely will.
As a God of foreigners, He is always open to novel offerings.
Don't shut Him out from the glory of our modern life.
I love this!
As an actress I have always had an appreciation for Dionysus as he is a god of theater. But I didn’t begin working with him until 2022. I have always been a bit up tight. I am an over-achiever, constantly critiquing myself and aiming higher to achieve my goals. Dionysus came into my life and helped me realize I need to release and surrender into festivity and ecstasy more often so I might enjoy my life more.
I work with Dionysus when I attend or host gatherings and when I choose to put myself outside of my comfort zone. I call upon him to help me feel more free and enthusiastic about my surrounding energies and the possibilities they might have.
Dionysus and I parties hard in Argentina where I got massively drunk on wine at a tango show, professed my love for my husband on a public city bus, got down on my knees and hit on my husband’s father (he is partly responsible for my husband being so awesome after all) and then a blacked out and puked everywhere.
It was one of the best nights of my life.
The hangover the following day, was not so great, but it was still worth it.
Thank you, Dionysus. 🍇🖤

Not even the howling wind from the storm outside helped so I showed my sister telling her how the candle wouldnt blow out and it blew out on its own when she was there 😂
Mind you i was trying to do that for half and hour and the flames were crazy high. It was my first time experiencing anything like that. Im pretty sure its Dionysus so im planning to try and reconnect to both apologize and thank him. I got a purple area quartz which is SUPER PRETTY, i put some gold rings on it as it looks and feels right and i got him some honey comb homemade candy which i thought he'll like.

We call him The D and he finds it hilarious
Thats awesome glad to hear feedback from others who work with him! Blessings to you and your husbands craft!
He really enjoys music, especially music about him or even battle songs since he’s the god of war music. The drum major’s baton is actually based on the thyrsus
@@SilknSass76 wait so I CAN worship him to the song "Cult of Dionysus" then??? 🤔 /lh
That’s so funny he refers to himself as “Big D” for my partner and I!
Lovely
1:38 I agree and thank you. It drives me insane to how many Christians Do this. As a Christian myself *I’m looking into Paganism and Witchcraft* I don’t like How Christians Do this especially if they are the ones who start the Fight first because this is what gives the Christian Community bad rep and Poor Innocent Christians are Victims of hate. The More You hate the More hate you get back. And I get that Christians don’t like Witchcraft or Whatever because of their Beliefs. It doesn’t make Sense to go on someone’s Page and Obliterate it right there. Forgive the Christian Community 😞 As a Christian I will defend You guys because what they are re doing is only making things Worse. Thank you. Blessed be ❤️
I appreciate you and your kind words. We appreciate the ones like yourself that are understanding about what we do so thank you so much for that! Blessed be!

When I went out to shop and get items for his altar, there was literally a full sized wine bottle, empty, in my path. I literally talked to him after picking up and told him “I am aware! I’m getting stuff to make an altar, just wait a few hours.”
He did and he showed me all the items he wanted and guided me.
I started working with Dionysus some two years ago? It came out of nowhere and I ended up making a small altar out of an Altoids tin that he seemed to really take to. There sits an enamel pin I got of him with little bottles of amethyst and bones followed by acorns and pinecones to represent his thyrsus. Finally bismuth due to its wild hues and the association between its rainbow colors and his sexuality. I also really like to burn dried grape leaves and such for him along with lavender incense. He's pretty awesome to work with and giver offerings to ^^
He once showed up to me in a dream as black goat and I now keep a little statue of one on my altar for him. I also keep a plant on my altar because he is the god of vegetation, any kind of vining plants are a great choice for him
Thank you for this informative video! I’ve felt pretty fascinated about Dionysus as well as the Celtic goddess Cerridwen! Maybe one day I’ll get a chance to work with them but I’m happy learning until then
I have wine glass with amethysts and cinnamon in it.
Apple, Iron grape decor throughout my house. Purfume holders, plant stands. Grape candle holders. There is so much cool stuff in resale.
I'm recently getting into paganism and had a deity reading. One of the deities that was suspected as one that was reaching out to me or wanting to work with me was Dionysus. So I started doing some research. One night I had a dream where the name Dionysus was just repeated several times. Then the next night I asked him for confirmation if it was him reaching out to me through my dream the night before. He didn't explicitly appear, and I didn't hear his name, but I did dream about being part of the theater, and that felt like a pretty clear sign since he also enjoys the theater.
The grape smell thing gave me a chuckle, just because my house has a grapevine that my in laws planted before I met my husband, and every year when they're close to being ripe, you can smell them all around the house outside, and if there's a window open, you can smell them in the house. We make grape juice every year. Now maybe I can start dedicating some of that to Dionysus.
Dionysus has appeared to me in two forms: that of a portly man who spoke of perceptions, normality, and insanity (in my dreams, followed by an unordered helping of grapes woth my brealfast the next morning) and as a bull headed man in purple robes at a crossroads (in a particularly deep trance whilst in a circle)
I found amethyst made into a thing of grapes, he loves it haha
Would buying a nice cloche glass be a good idea to prevent fruit flies? It would be pretty and you could put the grape and wine inside.
Thats not a bad idea! Id still make sure you swap the fruit out every 2 to 3 days though!
If you take frankincense resin, dissolve it in wine and drain the resin bearing wine from the dregs left behind, you can take that mix and add some honey, then bind cinnamon powder into a paste, to make stick or cone incense.
Dinoysus is then new deity in my life, I’m doing a lot of research, on him, and a lot of small things he likes- poems, etc. I’m gonna have grapes for lunch in honor of him
I found he really liked when I had a feast on him for a dedicated day. And the pinecones are a thing too. I felt a big urge to collect a bunch. Now I know where that came from.
Could you maybe do a video on how to notice the different signs of different Gods and Goddesses? Like a long list of Gods & Goddesses and their symbolism, maybe you could talk about some things not easily found on google or through any other search engine. You could do 1 video on one pantheon and then the next week on another pantheon etc...
Just an idea
Yes I have to do this anyway with the deities I missed out on like Anubis, Aphrodite, and so on! So I can make this a thing!
@@TheLunarWitch hell yeah I’d appreciate this as well!
@@TheLunarWitch thank you
Thank you for making this video. I'm drawing and writing a character based on Dionysus and getting some kinda communication with him would be a great way to help the creative process instead of just burdening myself with webpages.
Usually don’t comment but wanted to say along with amethyst there are mixes of purple and green hues through Fluorite and ruby zoisite
Your comment is much appreciated for helping out those trying to learn, feel free to comment whenever you want, I monitor for rude people but this channel has a very good and friendly base to it so feel free to always put in your input! 😊
Today I sat before a purple and green candle I got for Dionysus. I recently felt him calling, the first deity to call to me! I casted a circle and lit his candles. I asked if he was with me, and his candles actually moved to the right. After, they burned strong and steady. I was so surprised I actually laughed out loud.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I finally have realized Dionysus’s calling thanks to your knowledge and teaching. Thank you!
I Just started with my deity work and dyonysus is my first deity to work with
So Just thanks for the video at this opportune time 😁
A libation bowl, wide and shallow, is handy as the wine will evaporate and dry into nothing but a coating on the bottom. Wash out ritualistically after it is gone every now and again, but it should be fine.
Hey there, I’m pretty new to spirituality and witchcraft, i just got done meditating, and heard the name Dionysus. I have never researched the Greek pantheon before nor have I heard the gods name before, this was literally 20 minutes ago. I was wondering, could this be him reaching out to me, trying to get my attention? This also happened with the name Diana, which I know is the Roman goddess. If this is, how could I build that relationship?
Im thankful for this video as ive never really considered Dionysus (ive not done much deity work) but in my garden and as a hope to just celebrate life and the good times i burned some lavender and lit a green candle since then ive been feeling the itch to learn more
I'm grateful for all the help and guidance that share with us to help us better ourselves, much love joy and strength your way!!
I'm a follower of Dionysus so I understand what you're talkin
I worked with Dionysus for about half a year in 2022 and I just want to add that he’s actually very fond of Ube boba milktea or just any ube desserts in general. The purple god loves his purple food!!!
Oh my god I was having a conversation about working with goddess Isis Hecate and Zeus with a Christian friend of mine and they told me to pray to Jesus to see the light and not invite these demonic entities 😓 then I told him I call on to Archangels for protection and they had literally nothing to say other than maybe I’m in your life to help you see the correct path. Stopped talking to them that instant. ⛓👀 my family practices Hinduism and we have idol worship and plenty of gods too I’ve never really connected to any that’s a different thing but It’s like calling them demonic too just to prove a point that I need Jesus 🥲
Well you see. That’s another problem because that doesn’t mean you can hate Christianity and People of that Faith. Anyway, yea believe what you want or what you like but don’t go hating Someone’s Faith or that Person. Thank you 😊
@@TheBestOne_hi_34 that’s what happened to me, my faith was demonised 🙂 I was more than respectful about Christianity 😀 I don’t believe in telling people who and what to believe In. Hate is a strong word and I don’t use it in any context whatsoever. 🤍🦋 maybe what I was trying to say got lost in translation. I absolutely did not say I hate Christians or the religion.
@@Theyellowpowerpuff Yes, sorry Was a But Cruel I guess. But Did they really demonize It or were they generally Caring for you as friends Would? Thank you for Clearly up the Miss understanding. Don’t worry It be ok. 🥺❤️☺️
I'd love to see Thanatos next.
Coming next week!
I just realized you used a Dionysus pic from Hades! Nothing bad lol, I love the game so much.
Hail Dionysos! IO EUOI!!! IO SABOI!!!
hihi i work with dionysus he was listening in on this he wanted me to tell you he really appreciates this
As far as incense goes the gods are completely fine with scented candles and wax melts. You can get practically any scent that way. Incense has been around a long time and scented wax is a newer invention so you hear about it less.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Blessed be!
i see a lot of stuff about dreams but i don't really remember my dreams. are they're similar ways things can reach out?
So I'm a baby witch I suppose and I was considering working with Dionysus once I know enough about everything so this is really helpful!!
Merry meet, sister.
Lord Dionysus is especially great with newcomers and beginners, as He is one of the few Gods (along with Athena and Hermes) that frequently interacts with humans.
He is also the youngest, so He isn't as stingent towards miasma.
Could I use grape juice instead of wine, I’m a minor and I know very well that my parents are dying before they buy me wine.
Of course!
Grape juice (especially sparkling), olive oil, water, honey, tea, coffee (in my experience, Lord Dionysus prefers tea), and many other non-alcoholic beverages.
In mythology, Demeter is considered the Goddess of "dry" foods, whilst Lord Dionysus is the "wet" foods.
Anything liquid is considered good offerings, especially if it's from fruit.
As He is the God of fruit and orchards.
@@colt9836 thank you :)
I find this really interesting, honestly I've never been big into religion, but I've always found paganism and witchcraft at the very least interesting! I've been wondering how I could get into this properly, could I ask for some tips?
A friend of mine looks quite a bit like the depictions of dionysus and they have always loved grapes and grape flavoured things , thay have been told that thay have a temper that Rivals chaos when angered but most of the time they're quite personable and thay love the wild places of the world whether it be big or small also they love amethyst and their favourite colours grow up we're green and purple and they still are... starting to wonder if dionysus meddled in their making?
Edit: " Do I sound mad because they're just seems to be one too many coincidences and correlations between my friend and this god?"
Video starts at 2:45

today i lit a pine candle and started a playing card tarot spread and king of hearts showed up so then i did a tarot spread and the king of pentacles showed up. also earlier a artwork of dionysus showed up on my pinterest page
context: i’m a minor, pine candle is a sign of dionysus, king of hearts/king of cups is a sign of addict/alcoholic, king of pentacles is a sign of wealth, confidence, and prosperity.
thoughts?
You have 6 haunted dolls??? I don’t know how much more I can love you 😂 thank you for all your content!
great video I love red wine and alcohol and do a video on my patron deity Set. WOW i love your outro.
Thank you! I had to switch it I listened to the other one the other day while my phone was at full blast and it scared tf out of me 😂
@@TheLunarWitch oh ok
A post with a mask on it is a traditional idol to Dionysus. Freestanding, not leaning, but otherwise just a log standing on end with a mask tied near the top. Maybe wrapped in a cloak or robe
I need this been stuck with Ares for a while and he’s just made me start lashing out at ppl.
Awesome channel. I just subscribed! Blessings to you, my friend.
Thank you, brother!
I've vaguely just been feeling his energy around me, I can kinda tell he's there, but I don't know if he wants to work with me yet as he's not truly sending me signs and that's ok bc I'm not ready to work with him yet, I haven't even truly started my craft yet. I'm still researching and stuff, tho I do know I wanna do deity work, just not yet lol. So hopefully he waits to properly reach out till a bit later. But your videos are awesome bc I wanna get him an altar for worship(I view working with and worship as different things) as I do like his presents, it's comforting, in a weird way.
I agree with you 100% because people should be able to follow who they wish weather it's Greek gods Jewish God's Hebrew gods and someone
I mean id never really considered dionysus until now
I need help here..I'm a witch myself, been practicing for 3 yrs and my patron deities are Artemis and Loki, for a while now I have been pulling out cards in my oracle deck related to Dyonisus (like "meanad" and "ecstasy") and I don't know if it's a sign or not ..
Do you have a video on how to do deity work in the woods, for the Lords and Ladies that enjoy woodlands?
Is it good if I keep a panther toy in his altar? Thank god I have lots of animal toys never thought they'll be dis useful
Absolutely!
It could toys, statues, drawings, pictures, whatever.
There's this one myth where a woman gave Lord Dionysus a...let's just say, amateur drawing of Him.
And He totally accepted it.
Because she gave it to Him with love and sincerity; because that was all she had to give.
It helps to have a hint of madness
I am inclined to ask, can you possibly someday do a video on Prometheus? I have worshipped and worked with him a long time but there seems to be so little information out there about offerings, stones, candle colors, incense, etc.
How do you worship him?
@@AChapman1997 thank you
Please do one on Lord Shiva the God of all Gods and Demons
Should we give offering to deities all day? Is it compulsory? Becoz I have school work and stuff I cannot do it every day is it okay as long give offerings?
No, not all!
In Hellenism, the Gods demand one thing and one thing only:
Your best.
And if your best is giving Lord Dionysus offerings once a week, once every two weeks, whatever;
Then that is enough.
Especially when it comes to Lord Dionysus.
Will you do a video on Eros there is virtually no information! i love your videos they're informative and amazing!
Yes 👍

Hello! Thank you for this very nice video of Dionysus. I was wondering if you could possibly help me with tarot cards that are associated with him? I know about the hierophant, but I want to know if you possibly have more information on more tarot cards? Specifically the Rider Waite deck.
Thank you so much!
When everyone else has a cool story for why they are here but you just decided to join witchcraft like an hour ago cause your a PJO fan and realized “oh fuck maybe I actually wanna worship the gods???” And absolutely nothing has called out to me and I’m just like “LET ME IN LET ME INNNNN”
Could my sudden love for grape flavour drinks be because of him? Hmmm
Can you do a video on the Aztec God Huitzilopochtli?
The way Dionysus reached out to me was I suddenly started relistening to Cabaret, wanted to eat grapes (I actually don’t normally like them), wanted to research the wine cycle all in one day 😂
I think taking a theatre class caught his attention
Omg I take one too
He always appears in my dreams as big cats (Lions,Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars, both black and spotted.) first time it was a black leopard or jaguar curled up on someone's kitchen counter like a house cat and we stared into each others eyes, he had eyes like a deep jade, or werecats or there's a Beauty and the Beast theme going on in them in various adaptations in one dream he was in the form of Ron Perlman's Vincent from the old TV show, that was a good one we snuggled and I twirled his mane, in another dream he was in the form of the werecat from MJ's Thriller chasing me round a park (whether he wanted to kill me or was just playing I don't know) and in another one it was a mashup of Disney's BATB and Joe Dante's The Howling I was in a bookstore doing a Belle on the sliding ladder, then I fell underneath the ladder the slid down to the floor when I stepped out he was there turning from man to beast.
No way. Im new on my journey and i was told me and him are connected. I had a weird dream this morning. I was sitting somewhere indoors i think eating a fruit. I looked up theres a big huge black cat in the doorway. It changed into a regular black cat. I threw the left over fruit at it. The cat just meows. Dream ends.
Could you do a video on how to work with cernunnos
hey so question
do you have to first have dionysus reach out to you to join his religon or can you choose to join (all while doing the steps) and do you have to be a certain age?
Merry meet, my friend.
Firstly, no, not at all. Lord Dionysus approached me in a dream but many others of my coven have said that they approached Him. Just remember the concept of miasma whenever you speak to a Hellenistic deity. If you want to give offerings, rinse your hands (I use salt water because that's what the Ancient Greeks did but you don't have to). If you want to call upon Lord Dionysus and invite Him into your space:
1) take a shower and think about what He means to you, this will cleanse yourself of both physical and mental miasma;
2) cleanse the altar, whether with incense, sound, salt, whatever you have.
Think of this as cleaning your house when you have a friend coming over.
Remember, miasma isn't "sin," it's morally neutral; how would you feel if someone tracked mud into your home? It's rude, not wrong.
Secondly, no, Lord Dionysus does not care about age, gender identity, sexuality, race, color, creed. In fact, He is the youngest of the Gods so He may resonate with you because of that. As long as YOU feel comfortable working with Him, go for it.
But, remember, whatever you can do for Him, that is enough.
My apologies for the long post but I hoped this helped.
Please do not hesitate to ask me questions.
Bacchic Blessings, my dear.
@@colt9836 thank you for the info ill keep it all in mind it was very nice to have my questions answered ❤
@@colt9836 i do have 2 more questions
1.im not fully aware on what miasma means so can you elaborate on what that means
2.i cant really get or make an altar because im pretty closeted on my beliefs so i thought i could just get a jar and put things that i heard dionysus liked such as amethyst grapes and anything associated with wine or the color purple then put purple and red candle wax on top so would i be able to do that? and if not are theyre any other options?
@@KaythatsGorey0666 Firstly, you could have a single plastic grape and that could be your altar to Lord Dionysus. Hellenism is orthodox, meaning the correct belief is more important; however you express such ideology is more-or-less irrelevant. As long as you adhere to correct cleaning of miasma.
Secondly, misama is just spiritual "dirt" that we, as mortal beings, "collect." The Gods don't have a body (or at least one we can comprehend), but they do have a mind. Cleaning and cleansing yourself and your altar brings us closer to the Gods.
The most crucial miasmic object is death, more specifically: mortality.
The Gods are immortal and eternal; They do not fathom death. Thus it's rude to remind Them of it.
Unless you are surrounded by death, you killed someone (not in self-defense, because Ares would extend his protection to you), or your altar is in unhygienic place (bathroom, closest, etc,..), miasma isn't something that you should stress about.
As long as you bath regularly and wear clean clothes, you're completely fine.
You said your closeted with your beliefs right? If you have an altar in an actual closet, I would physically clean and spiritually cleanse that area maybe every week? Two weeks? Whenever you can.
Because that place collects dust and grime, which the former has dead skin cells, dead microorganisms, etc,...
You can use whatever means you have.
If can't burn anything, you can use a dish of salt (salt is especially sacred in Greek mythology) and place it there to act as a passive cleanser.
Replace it every new moon or whenever.
But I would dust regularly.
Don't overthink it; the Gods will understand.
They demand one thing and one thing only:
Your best.
Strange note about offering wine to our intoxicated lord. If you offer a bottle of wine, and leave it on your altar for a significant length of time, please, please, I cannot say enough times PLEASE drink it. I know that for most deities, offerings should not be consumed, but, as someone whos been following Dionysus for 20 years, wine offered to Dionysus that is not drunk is wasted. Pick a night, a special night, and drink it. Feel it. Let it flow through your mouth and your veins and your bladder. Feel it tickle your brain. And if a bottle in a night is too much for you, by all means, invite a friend or two and pour them a glass. His blessings are to be shared. But whatever you do, if you offer Him a bottle, do /not/ throw it out.
freya next?!
I have Hermes coming back adn then a vote is going to start this Tuesday for Loki and Freya! Either way both of them are up for the lineup!
Wow! As a Catholic who also practices astrology and identifies as a Wiccan Catholic, I have to say that what you just said in the intro shows that we are at the cusp of the dark ages here with polarization and censorship. Stay strong and keep on keeping on! 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Liked and subscribed.

Odd offering I’ve found he likes; playing Sweeney Todd, it has similar traits and themes of vengeance and maddness, to one of his most famous plays, bacchus.
esa pelicula ta buena
Nice
Blessed be!
kajwehwajh The "If you guys hear noises like this, my apologies, I have 6 haunted dolls" I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SAY YOU HAVE A CAT JAJAJJAJAA
Would sparkling grape juice work in a pinch as a liquid offering?
Have you got any videos on how to work with hypnos
I woke up this morning, and all I could think of was their name… my family’s last name means “wine maker” and I have a tendency to overindulge myself in many ways. How do I work with them in moderation?
The wine part you got into but what about the psychedelic part of it and how do you make a altar to Dionysus and should magik mushrooms be used in the making of the wine and if it's a bottle with let's say a mushroom desolate it added to it and praised at the end of the month should it be drank and meditated upon the praises you offered after the month maybe even looked at as a form of reincarnation or a form of incarnation with Dionysus himself
What should one do if they can’t burn candles or incense? I have a little bird and I don’t want to hurt him with the smoke
Rather than struggling to find "grape incense", burn storax (resin) on a charcoal disc. Smells like grape!!
Drink. Drinking and partying is worshiping Dionysus. The Greeks understood drunk partying to be an act of worshiping Dionysus, he is difficult to worship solitarily.
And sex. Have wonderful sex with people you love and trust
Even if he doesn’t give me any signs, can i still try to work with him and contact him?
Indeed, my friend.
Lord Dionysus is an amazing God, especially if you are a beginner.
As His is half-human, raised by nymphs and satyrs, and was frequently in contact with humans, He is much more friendly and merry with us than His peers.
Yes
Im a Christian and I'm already 40 seconds into this and hearing about that his videos are being taken down is not right. As long as you respect the religion I have ill do the same to yours. My sister is pagan and I'm stuck between Christianity and working with other deities. So my advice is can it work in your opinion. If so thats great if not its fine too. I'm also interested in the egyptian mythology. Was thinking about Anubis but idk what to do
Can Dionysus possess his followers? I have lots of questions and am doing as much research on Dionysus as possible, any info helps?
He's known for it more than any other Greek God. Drunkenness itself is Him inside you but sometimes He takes some people over. If He does that it's mostly just for the night though for a handful of people it's permanent
Mead also works by the way
Hi great video Brother you know your stuff. I so glad you mention his dark side. I knew a guy that worked with him and tried to assume his essence, like channel him and the result were very, very bad. Only thing I would mention is form a beginner he may be too volatile. Good job.
So.. what if I dont intentionally ignore his guidance but accidentally miss it?
Then do what He said
Why do so many deities like cinnamon in particular?
Where do you find this info?
Prob internet
How do I work with Ares the god of war but in a positive way
Strange why they take your videos down, these people need to give me a few tips how to get channels that are abusing animals taken down. I have reported several channels, one were an idiot had given his dogs drugs, still there.
Are there any more deity's that can communicate through dreams? I talked to my more knowledgeable friends and they keep saying all signs point to Dionysus reaching out to me. But I'm still not entirely sure if it was him?
Merry meet, friend.
In Greek mythology, *all* of the Gods communicate with us via dreams, as it is Hermes, Messager of Olympus, that sends us our nighttime activities.
If you are still having these dreams, what are they about?
I'm a baby witch so keep in mind I'm not the best example. I had a recent dream not that long ago where a majority of my signs pointed to him, but some of the signs seemed to possibly indicate another deity, but I too was unsure. I had to look at my signs in my dreams, things I was seeing and see if it matched before I went got advice to seek out an expert who can help confirm the deity calling to me. Today I got my reading and 100% confirmed my intuition, something actually Dionysus wants me to work on ironically. I'd say trust in your intuition and if you have to seek out a professional who can help you confirm. It maybe one deity, maybe multiple. Again, I'm a baby witch literally learning so...take my info with a grain of salt if unsure. : P
My town is known for its apples and wine my mom used to have these plates with grapes on them and even a whole ass grape clump.shaped cookie jar so.needless to.say grapes have beeb a reacurring symbol in my life and im.thinkibg has he been trying to get my attention this whole time and one of my grandmas was obsessed with black panthers she had a statue of one. And my favorite marvel movie is black panther. Seriously wtf
Interesting and funny: modern heathens. So do what fullfilles you but stay in reality.
For me this works different. God's or better Archetypes come and go regarding importance. The eradication of many archetypes due Christianity sure was a bad thing, archetypes also evolve and change. Every stage of civ produces it's own structures and specific archetypes but also specific imbalances in over prioritizing or under prioritizing specific archetypes. The limit is just the imagination ability of humanity.
Does anyone know if it's ok to not put wine as an offering? I don't drink alcohol, and I want to know if it's a problem lol
Absolutely!
Dionysus is the considered the God of "wet" foods, whereas Demeter is the "dry" foods.
Grape juice (sparkling or not), water, milk, honey, tea, coffee, and more are all considered excellent offerings.
But remember to give it as a libation when you feel it is necessary. In traditional Hellenic belief, the drink is poured onto the ground; if you can't, a clean sink will suffice.
Speak of the God's name as you do so that They know you are offering it to Them.
@@colt9836 Thank you so much!
Was it Dionysus that killed Orpheus, Apollo’s son? Can you work with both Apollo and Dionysus? Just wondering. I enjoy your videos, though.
The people at Delphi didn't seem to have any issues. Both Apollo and Dionysos had Their share in that place
