O life-giving, sanity-restoring Dionysos,
keeper of sacred frenzy and divine truth,
hear my voice beneath the veil of night.
Guard my soul against Mōkios of Amphipolis,
spirit of twisting delusion,
corrupter of clear thought,
maker of false paths and poisoned desires.
Let deception be uncovered like mist before dawn.
Let what is crooked be made straight.
Let no corrupt whisper take root in the mind,
nor any shadow rule the heart through confusion or shame.
By the ivy-wreathed thyrsos, drive out falsehood.
By the drum and sacred cry, scatter unclean influences.
By the cup of liberation, restore clarity, dignity, and right-mindedness.
Grant me discernment to know truth from illusion,
wisdom to reject what degrades the soul,
and strength to walk in reverence, balance, and joy.
May my dwelling be guarded by holy fire.
May my thoughts be crowned with peace.
May all harmful spirits depart
to the silent and forgotten places.
O Nocturnal Reveler, He who rushes through the woods,
lead me away from corruption and spiritual blindness.
Fill me instead with honest joy, sound judgment, and sacred freedom.
Evoe, blessed Dionysos of many names and mighty powers.
may truth endure, and may every dark delusion be undone.
