O gentle yet powerful Dionysos,
hear me when turmoil rises within and around me.

Protect me from Lyssa,
spirit of raging frenzy, blind fury, and destructive madness.
Let not wrath consume reason,
nor violence overcome compassion.

Cool the burning mind with sacred calm.
Steady the trembling heart.
Where chaos howls, let wisdom answer.
Where hatred grows, let mercy take root.

By the vine that brings fellowship,
by the dance that restores weary souls,
by the holy cup shared in peace,
drive away savage anger and ruinous impulse.

Grant me mastery over my own spirit:
patience in provocation,
clarity in confusion,
and restraint when passion surges like fire.

May my home be guarded from cruelty and discord.
May my tongue speak healing rather than harm.
May my hands bring comfort rather than destruction.

O Liberator and healer of wounded minds,
lead me from frenzy into balance,
from fear into courage,
from bitterness into joyful life.
May peace prevail where madness sought to reign.
