May Dionysos bless all Dionysians
who walk the ivy-covered path
with sincerity and reverence.
May Dionysos bless his people
with abundance and luck,
ferocious integrity and savage grace,
joyful hearts, clear minds, and steadfast spirits,
as well as an unwavering commitment
to their God and his traditions.
May their gatherings be filled
with honest fellowship,
music, dance, screaming,
inspiration and holy terror.
ecstatic celebration,
liberation and blessedness.
I pray that Dionysians find
courage in times of hardship,
wisdom in times of confusion,
and renewal after sorrow or exhaustion.
May the cup be shared in peace,
the flame kept burning through every season,
and the mysteries of the Liberator create new life in them.
May artists, seekers, wanderers, and celebrants alike
find inspiration in your worship,
and receive your blessings graciously.
And so may the tradition flourish through every generation.
