💜 The god of wine doesn’t care if you drink too much, he understands your pain

💜 He also supports you if you try to break your addictions, he wants you to be free

💜 Dionysus not only had male lovers, but according to Aesop, he created queer people

💜 He could be intensely masculine or feminine, he wants you be yourself

💜 Dionysus is the patron of mental illnesses, he will be there for you through your struggles

💜 Dionysus is the patron of the oppressed, he shall help them find liberation

💜 Just as he protected his followers from the wrath of Pentheus, so too will he protect you should you find yourself persecuted for your religion

💜 His ancient rites were open to all, Greek and non-Greek. He was depicted as a foreigner and a protector and liberator of slaves

💜 He loves you no matter where you’re from, and will protect you from senseless hatred and bigotry

💜 He rejects notions of gender roles and destroys those who would repress women

Also coming to the shop tonight is this huge 4.5 amethyst and calcite cluster! It’s soooooooo gorgeous!
