O load-roaring Dionysos,
breaker of chains and revealer of truth,
guard my mind from Mōkios of Amphipolis,
spirit of delusion, mockery, and barren pride.

Let not false wisdom harden the heart,
nor empty scorn blind the soul
to ecstasy, compassion, mystery, and sacred joy.

Drive away the voice that sneers at reverence,
that calls the living Gods lifeless,
that turns celebration into shame
and wonder into dust.

Instead, grant me clear sight and measured spirit:
to honor what is holy without arrogance,
to seek truth without fanaticism,
and to welcome divine joy without madness.

May your ivy crown shield my thoughts.
May your wine loosen the knots of fear and contempt.
May your dance awaken the soul
from coldness, despair, and spiritual emptiness.

O Liberator, friend of the outcast and ecstatic choir,
lead me away from delusion
and toward living wisdom.
Evoe, blessed Dionysos.
May reverence, clarity, and holy joy endure.
