My Thoughts on The Gods - Part 5
Welcome to Part 5 with our dear Greek god of madness, fertility, religious ecstasy, wine, and theatre - Dionysus!
Tumblr media
Loved the 60s through 80s in the States. The devil may care and intense energy during these periods refreshed him after another series of violent, turbulent wars 
Just as passionate about rioting and standing up for what you believe in as Ares. He understands better than anyone the power of a group, no matter who they are. (Just think about all the things the Maenads were able to do when they worked together!...However violent they were XD). 
Just as into music as his brother Apollo. He loves the way you can just lose control when the music gets into you. It’s a level of ecstasy that few things can compare to.
Clubbing every night? Hell yeah! Any time is party time!
Hangs around frat parties and the like, happily keeping the booze overflowing and the energy up. However, that doesn’t mean he’s careless. He keeps an eye out for everyone, making sure they don’t drink too much, overdose, or harm anyone. He has no problem arranging rides for people to get home safely, which some of the other gods like Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, and Demeter assist with (the latter two helping provide shelter for those who are too incapacitated to leave and taking care of them). Apollo and Dionysus also utilize some tricks that help ease hangovers in the morning
Throws parties randomly when he feels things are getting a little too stale. What fun is being bored? 
Can be seen in the quiet faith of a devotee, follower, spiritualist, or religious person
He is the experience of suddenly sensing and feeling the beauty and love of the gods
Visits mental institutions as a means of comforting those within, giving them a quiet peace of mind for a time
Advocates for mental health much like Hel and Apollo. Passionate about reform and destigmatizing having mental disorders
Loves the idea of mental health days. Just because it’s not as easy to see as a physical condition doesn’t mean that someone isn’t being effected
Enjoys going to open mics and poetry recitals with Apollo and The Muses. Applauds and gives compliments, along with constructive criticism, for each person
Loves slam poetry
Enjoys a mix of thought out lyrics and straight party songs with music
Looks out for children with Apollo, Artemis, Hebe, Hermes, Hera, Hestia, and Zeus. He watches over those who are unfortunately dealing with abusive households
Happy to step in when he sees others being bullied or disrespected. Nothing sets him off quicker than treating others inhumanely
Enjoys attending wine festivals and tastings
He is the burn of alcohol down your throat
Watches fondly over those having their first drink, giving advice on how to avoid overwhelming one’s self and getting sick 
Big supporter of programs like Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous. As fun as drinking and (safe, legal) drug use can be, it’s equally important to recognize and respect the intense consequences they can have. He admires the strength of those in recovery
Watches over those working at rehab and methadone clinics. It’s not an easy job, especially when those who need help leave and fall into old patterns. He helps to ease the burden of those checked in and those who work there
He is the dedicated energy of writing a psychological thesis
Celebrates the diversity in sexuality and gender identity that exists today. Considering his own fluid identity, it brings joy to see others able to do the same
Enjoys watching people explore different identities to see what fits them. Nothing wrong with learning, experimenting, and growing with labels over time
He is the kind doctor who gently explains all of one’s options at a fertility clinic
Keeps an eye out for women who are going through late pregnancies and fertility treatments. Understands the toll and fears that come with these situations and helps to allay them 
He is the whisper of a secret between close friends late at night
He is the impish smile of a stranger in a club
Can be found in the bright neons and city sounds during a late night drive
Advocates for the protection of endangered animals along with Demeter, Gaia, and his son Pan
Enjoys farming and survival simulators like Stardew Valley and Minecraft
Thinks games like Kind Words are brilliant! The idea of people coming together to comfort each other anonymously is heartwarming
Spends plenty of time hanging out with his brothers Hermes and Apollo. It’s never a dull moment with these three
Carves out time to explore nature with Demeter, Hera, Hestia, Persephone, Gaia, and Pan
He is the sound of dissonant voices coming together in harmony
Is the quiet contemplation of meditation that leads to sudden insights
The song The Other Side by Bruno Mars feat. Cee-lo Green and B.o.B. comes to mind when thinking about him, Apollo, and Hermes. The three often sing the song together
He is the friend who stays up to comfort and talk down a friend in crisis
Enjoys drama shows due to how over the top they can be
Brings flowers to those performing in their first stage shows, congratulating them on a job well done
He is the feeling of stage fright that morphs into confidence as one practices and leans their parts
ADORES film festivals. Seeing the vast variety, from short films, to documentaries, to full length indie films and the work put into them inspires him
Much like Aphrodite, he reps a variety of pride flags whenever he attends a pride parade
Is the gentle, comforting voice that affirms someone overwhelmed with their dysphoria 
Supports more access to mental facilities to the underprivileged, inmates, and those on the streets
Supports sex workers and keeps an eye out for them along with Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, and Eros
Attends a variety of productions, from elementary performances to Broadway. Enjoys each and every one of them regardless of how inaccurate or perfect they are
Enjoys playing Devil’s Advocate in Ethics classes
Gets into healthy debates with Apollo and Athena on a variety of subjects
Can be called on when dealing with introspection (along with Apollo… for the umpteenth time XD), especially with shadow work
Likes grapes, grape juice, wine, alcohol, chocolates, big cat imagery, dolphin imagery, devotional dance and song, art, acting, hymns, plays, movies, music, skulls, and ivy
Has connections with death via Zagreus and the Orphic Mysteries

she walked with darkness dripping off her shoulder. i’ve seen
ghosts brighter than her soul.
her heart, just like a star — dead and dazzling — was hanging upon
the midnight of my heart.

My Thoughts on The Gods - Part 4
Here’s my next part in the series - this time featuring Hel! 
Tumblr media
Hel is the feeling of peace prior to natural death. She grants those with a good heart and mind the peace of passing away in one’s sleep, a smile on their face as their pain eases and they are taken to her realm. 
Hel protects the souls of those young spirits that die before having the chance to live. She guards them with the fierceness of a mother, keeping them from suffering the loneliness she herself suffers from. 
Hel is the cloaked figure that lays flowers upon the graves of the forgotten. She appears in the comforting form any living being perceives her as before vanishing the moment they look away. 
Hel works in hospices, comforting those who are marked for her realm with the kindness and fairness she does with those who already reside there. When not appearing herself, she looks after hospice workers who do, giving them the strength to endure the constant exposure to one of life’s harshest realities. 
Hel has a great respect for those who reach out to the outcasts of society: the homeless, the mentally ill, orphans, those suffering from other diseases, abused and neglected animals. As someone who felt the sting of others’ disgust at her appearance, she looks favorably upon those who step up and make the effort to help those who everyone else refuses to. 
Hel relishes celebrations like el Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, in which families come together to honor those loved ones who have passed on. It’s a day of celebration in her own realm as the residents of her realm feast and celebrate their memories of their loved ones. 
She is the comforting touch on the shoulder when you grieve over lost loved ones
She loves animals, especially dogs. Being a goddess of death does not preclude her enjoying life
In a similar vein, she is all about enjoying the moment. Life is short and instead of ruminating on the bad, it’s important to be grateful for what you do have. 
Guides lost spirits to her realm when they are ready to pass on
Seeing the various depictions and stories of death in various cultures fascinates her
I associate butterflies with her, namely the black ones like in Bleach. Moths as well
Loves skull and other bone imagery
She is the slow tendrils of incense swirling about a room
She is the cool kiss of a winter’s wind
Much like with hospice workers, she stands by the sides of funeral workers, grave diggers, doctors, and nurses. Each of them faces death on a regular basis, even if it’s in radically different ways
I think she’d find stories like Another interesting - at least for their takes on death and accepting it
Patron goddess of morticians
Gets along with other death deities like Hades or Osiris. They gather together sometimes to discuss their work and followers
Psychological horror comes to mind when I think of her
She is the realization and embracing of one’s own mortality
Finds games like God of War and Jotunn entertaining, for various reasons
Gets on with Skadi, in part due to their associations with winter. You can find the pair sharing a warm drink on a cold winter’s night in companionable silence
She is the comforting voice of a suicide hotline operatorShe is the urge that fights back against dying just yet, of winning another day’s battle against one’s inner demons
She is the soft whisper of encouragement in the ears of teens crying their eyes out whilst in the throes of depression
She is the ache in your chest and the smile on your face when you think of a lost loved one
She watches over those grieving, doing her best to calm their spirits and bring brighter memories to mind
Snowflake obsidian, obsidian, smoky quartz, and black tourmaline are crystals that come to mind for her
Considers knowing when to move on just as important as grieving properly. Your life can’t stay on pause because you’ve been touched by death
Appreciates those who take the time to remember loved ones and do things in honor of them, from giving offerings to doing some of their favorite things
Discovering one’s ancestry can be a devotional act for her
A silent protector of those on the frontlines - facing death on a daily basis
Archaeology and anthropology are interests of hers - learning about the past through mementos left behind
Paranormal investigations and spirit work as well. She appreciates those willing to bridge the gap between this world and the next
