   Dionysus isn't to be believed literally! He's the effect of wine, grapes, and   
   grapevines, and the pleasurable/happy feeling got from grapes and wine, if you   
   want to be a real Dionysian, dress in green (make sure it looks    
   lowery/leafy), wear olive leaves    
   on your head, eat grapes, drink wine, stay calm without rage (salvation), fuck   
   prostitutes, make sacrifices of animals and serve it to Dionysus, eat foods   
   made with grapes or wine (and eat special foods associated with    
   cstasy/happiness, bright,    
   colourful and with nice looking colours). You'll be Dionysian for sure, the   
   following myth is: Dionysus invented wine and he spread the art of wine   
   cultivation around the world. Wine has two basic qualities: 1. one can be   
   possessed with a great power    
   when under the influence of wine, and 2. the recapitation of Dionysus by the   
   Titans and Dionysus's return to life symbollically echoes in grape vines,   
   where they must be pruned back sharply so the vine will grow in winter and the   
   fruit will grow on it.    
   Dionysus was born from his dad's thigh after being stitched in him by him when   
   he was already born out of a woman's vagina. Dionysus invented a cult of   
   salvation, and pleasure, and grapes, I don't think there are moral rules to   
   this cult, but there are    
   certain rules for being good (as above) that certainly are emotional rather   
   than a thinking conscience (however I wouldn't trust a moral good anyway,   
   since there's good without morals and morals are against what makes you   
   happy). However the good and    
   positivity/salvation treated in Dionysianism is amoral or anti-moral like the   
   earliest religions are (with only guidelines to the good, but no morals), this   
   is what things should be, because if we all followed morals, we would all live   
   in a world against    
   us and our selfish pleasures, well done the god (which is actually grapes and   
   grapevines). I feel that this 'great power' is a strangeness that the average   
   man encourages himself to have when he hits rock bottom (sorry Ayn Rand but   
   your political    
   philosophy doesn't work in a truthful world that bites you in the arse!).
