I make these offerings for Dionysos,
our Savior and the heart of the mysteries.
I make these offerings for Orpheus,
who discovered the blessed mysteries
which bestow enlightenment and release.
I make these offerings for all of the
Prophets, Priests, Poets, and Performers
who shaped the tradition as I have received it.
I make these offerings for my teacher,
who poured the tradition
into my heart and mind,
making me ready and worthy
to receive initiation into the mysteries.
I make these offerings for my initiator,
who gave me what I will need
to live free and without fear,
and find my way to the starry land
when I die, overcoming
all obstacles and temptations. .
I make these offerings for every
member of the Starry Bull tradition,
and all other Dionysians, Hellenic polytheists,
polytheists of other traditions, neopagans
and anyone else who praises the name
of the great Liberator.
I make these offerings for those
who are mired in the filth of ignorance,
deceit, and wickedness, and pray that they
find their way to the truth that sets them free,
and worship of our Lord Dionysos who is
Bakcheios, and Lusios, and Sōtēr, and Asterios.
