Rites of Dionysus

The Maenads are the female devotees and followers of Dionysus, God of Wine and Ecstasy.

Driven into ecstatic frenzies during their rites they were said to have run wild in the forests, tearing men and animals alike from limb to limb.

Most famously perhaps, they are featured in Euripides' play "The Bacchae" where Dionysus drives the doubting women of Thebes wild which ultimately leads to them dismembering their king, Pentheus.

In real life, the Maenads were priestesses and followers of shrines of Dionysus, a lot less blood thirsty but probably similarly intense in their worship (and wine consumption)
