As this incense rises, curling to the unseen,
may it please you, Liberator, Breaker of chains.
Accept this offering, sweet with earth and fire,
a breath of devotion carried on the air.
You who dwell in forest shadow and festal light,
in laughter, in wine, in the pulse of the drum—
be near, O Twice-Born,
and awaken the spirit within me.
Loosen what is bound,
open what is closed,
let the sacred frenzy of life flow freely.
In this moment, I honor you—
in scent, in flame, in reverence.
Evoe, Dionysos!
Receive this offering.
