May Dionysos awaken the fire within you,
not to consume, but to illuminate.
May your burdens fall away like a snake’s old skin,
and your spirit rise unbound and renewed
to join the nocturnal stars in their choral dances.
May you find truth in the wild places of your soul,
and courage in the face of change.
May joy meet you unexpectedly,
and may you greet it without fear.
