On Ecstasy and Dionysos -

 

Dionysus has been called the most important of the Greek

gods. Certainly, he is the most misunderstood! The very pro-

fusion of his names and qualities makes immediate comprehension-

hension difficult. He is called the god of wine, the god of

abandon, the great liberator, the god of ecstasy. He represents

the continual rebirth of life in the spring, the irrational wisdom

of the senses, and the soul's transcendence.

 

"the dancing universe; the ceaseless flow of energy going through an

infinite variety of patterns." This is the Dionysian energy, the

dance of the Maenads, the power of life that flows through all

of us and unites us with heaven and earth."

 

- Robert A. Johnson
