Dionysus Power Ritual
The Twice-Born, Bromios, Lysios, Eleutherios, Lord of the Vine, He Who Descended and Rose, Son of Zeus and Semele
- This Ritual is based on vibrating the Runes and Ancient Greek Sacred Letters, and making certain affirmations. Raising your energies before the Ritual is advised.
- The Sigil that is provided is the point of focus for this Ritual.
- The Runes and Greek Letters that are done here can be vibrated around the center of the Sigil, where the Shenu Protection Ring is. You can imagine this lighting up so much, like the Sun has a layer of light surrounding all of it.
- Vibrate these Runes in a short version [i.e., do not draw the runic vibration on a very big breath, especially for those who are new and can't do that many vibrations]. Click here to pronounce the runes. The Greek Sacred Letters (ALPHA, BETA, etc.) are vibrated by their full Ancient Greek name.
- This Ritual contains 257 Vibrations, which is about 2.5 circles of Mala beads. If you can't do that many, reduce the number of vibrations by half [e.g., instead of vibrating the Runes 10 times each, only do 5 vibrations].

ἐκ μηροῦ τοῦ Πατρὸς Διὸς ἀθάνατος.
Τὸ πῦρ τοῦ κεραυνοῦ σε ἐβάπτισε,
ὁ μηρὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ σε ἀνεγέννησε.
Δὸς τοῖς Ζευϊσταῖς τὴν δευτέραν γέννησιν.
Oh Dioneese, Ditheeramve, Peerigenes, / ek Semelees egenneethees thneetos, / ek meeroo too Patros Dios athanatos. / To peer too keravnoo se evaptise, / o meeros too Theoo se anegennese. / Dos tois Zevistais teen defteran genneeseen.
from Semele you were born mortal,
from the thigh of Father Zeus, immortal.
The fire of the thunderbolt baptized you,
the thigh of God reborn you.
Grant the Zevists the second birth.

from Egypt to India you journeyed,
the vine you taught to every nation.

Wherever you were denied, madness came.
Guide us upon your road without end.

Wine you gave to mortals,
sorrow you turned into joy.
You are the vine, we are the branches:
whoever is cut off withers,
whoever remains bears fruit.
Bless the wine of the Temple of Zeus.

you descended to Hades and rose,
your mother Semele you freed.
You know death: you were born from it.
You know resurrection: you are it.
Teach us that death is a gate, not an end.

the deniers of the Gods you punished:
Pentheus was torn apart by his own mother,

you free the slave from the master,
the fear from the soul,
the mask from the face.
Your theatre is the mirror of the world.
In your Mysteries death is sleep
and resurrection is awakening.
Unbind the chains of the Zevists.
Υἱὲ τοῦ Διός, Βρόμιε, Λύσιε, Ζαγρεῦ,
Εὐλογημένον τὸ δῶρόν σου, ὁ οἶνος, ἡ ἔκστασις, ἡ ἐλευθερία.
Εὐλογημένοι ἡμεῖς διὰ σοῦ.
Εὐλογημένοι καὶ τρὶς εὐλογημένοι αἰωνίως! Evlogeemenos ei, Dioneese, / Eee-e too Dios, Vromie, Leesie, Zagrev, / Evlogeemenon to doron soo, o oinos, ee ekstasis, ee eleftheria. / Evlogeemenoi eemeis dia soo. / Evlogeemenoi kai tris evlogeemenoi aionios!
Son of Zeus, Thunderer, Liberator, Zagreus,
Blessed is your gift: the wine, the ecstasy, the freedom.
Blessed are we through you.
Blessed and thrice blessed eternally!
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Dionysus's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus. Let yourself be immersed in the deep purple light of the vine, the warmth of the sacred wine, the joyous frenzy of the God who was torn apart and made whole again.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

The Shen Ring
The Symbol that Encapsulates the Sigil: The Shen Ring, Egyptian Hieroglyphic language. The Shen also survived in Chinese tradition as a glyph for Spiritual Force, Divine Force, and God.
Letters of the Sigil
The Ancient Greek letters for Dionysus's Name in arrangement.
On the Greek Sacred Letters
The Greek alphabet carries numerical and cosmological values rooted in the Pythagorean and Orphic traditions. Each letter is vibrated by its full Ancient Greek name (ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, etc.) and carries the resonance of its numerical value within the isopsephic system. The triads chosen for each segment correspond to the elemental and mystical qualities of Dionysus's aspect being invoked.

On Dionysus
Dionysus (Greek: Διόνυσος) is the God of wine, ecstasy, theatre, ritual frenzy, fertility, and rebirth. Son of Zeus and the mortal princess Semele of Thebes. When Hera tricked Semele into asking Zeus to reveal his true form, the thunderbolt killed her. Zeus saved the unborn Dionysus by sewing him into his own thigh, from which the child was born a second time: hence his epithet Dithyrambos ("Twice-Born") and Pyrigenes ("Fire-Born"). In the Orphic tradition, the first Dionysus (Zagreus) was son of Zeus and Persephone, torn apart by the Titans and reborn. Dionysus wandered across Egypt, India, and Asia Minor teaching the art of the vine. Those who received him were blessed with joy; those who rejected him (Pentheus of Thebes, Lycurgus of Thrace, the Tyrrhenian pirates) were destroyed. He descended to Hades to rescue his mother Semele, whom he brought to Olympus and renamed Thyone. His cult included the Dionysia (origin of Greek theatre), the Anthesteria, and the Eleusinian and Orphic Mysteries. His epithets Lysios ("Liberator") and Eleutherios ("Freedomer") reflect his role as the God who dissolves all bonds: social, psychological, and mortal. Herodotus identified him with the Egyptian Osiris (Histories II.42, II.144).
