To Dionysos
30. To Dionysos
Incense: Storax
I call upon loud-roaring and reveling Dionysos, primeval, two-natured,
Thrice-born, Bacchic lord, savage, ineffable, two-horned and two-shaped.
Ivy-cover, bull-faced, warlike, howling, pure, you take raw flesh,
You have triennial feasts, wrapt in foliage, decked with grape clusters.
Resourceful Eubouleus, immortal god sired by Zeus,
When he mated with Persephone in unspeakable union.
Hearken to my voice, O blessed one, and with your fair-girdled nurses,
Breathe on me in spirit of perfect kindness.
~Orphic Hymn #30 to Dionysos, translated by Apostolos N. Athanassakis

Dionysus rocks! One of my favourite archetypes.

Ah, I like the Orphic hymns. Every so often I run across things similar to this written in the modern day by various Neopagans. I wish it was more than occasional.
