Cat<p>When I pray to Dionysus, as one does, I like to use the Orphic Hymn dedicated to them. (I use the Thomas Taylor translation because things in poetic meter are easier to memorize.)</p><p>This is my favorite line: “Give me in blameless plenty to rejoice.” </p><p>This one hits hard in a capitalist society, where even our hobbies are supposed to be “productive,” and we’re made to feel bad for relaxing and having down-time. </p><p>This is Dionysus’ gift to his supplicants; to enjoy blameless plenty, to not feel bad about indulging yourself, to have some time that you're not weighed down by your responsibilities. <br>To the eternal enby of euphoria, Io Dionysus!</p><p>“Dionysos I call, loud-sounding and divine, <br>fanatic God, a two-fold shape is thine:<br>Thy various names and attributes I sing, <br>O, first-born, thrice begotten, Bacchic king:<br>Rural, ineffable, two-form'd, obscure, <br>two-horn'd, with ivy crown'd, euion, pure.<br>Bull-fac'd, and martial, bearer of the vine, <br>endu'd with counsel prudent and divine:<br>Triennial, whom the leaves of vines adorn, <br>of Jove and Proserpine, occultly born.<br>Immortal dæmon, hear my suppliant voice, <br>give me in blameless plenty to rejoice;<br>And listen gracious to my mystic pray'r, <br>surrounded with thy choir of nurses fair.”</p><p>-Orphic Hymn 29, translated by Thomas Taylor</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Polytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polytheism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Dionysus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dionysus</span></a></p>
