"Written in Wine"

Public shout-out to sannion:

I finally started reading Written in Wine this morning before my usual practice. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly did not include being moved at a spiritual level. Dionysos isn't one of "my" gods. To my surprise, I was blown away by the passionate faith and devotion that was so beautifully expressed in the essays and stories I read.

When I first started exploring Pagansim (20 years ago this month), I was primarily goddess-focused. Dionysos was the first god with whom I resonated, but over the years my connection to him slipped away. This morning I was reminded why he called to me in the beginning, and how much I need that ecstatic, mask-removing, life-embracing, escape-the-mundane energy in my life right now.

Thank you for all you did to bring this book into being.
