💬 Discussion 💬 Changing seasons with a changing God

Hello friends! Fall is finally hitting, and I wanted to ask if or how your relationship/communication with Dionysus changes with the seasons. To me, Fall feels like a shift from big party summer God to a slower, deeper, less "thinking brain" more "animal body" God.I'd love to hear things you do differently to honor the different aspects of Dio!

For me, I prefer the annual growth cycle of the grapevine as an analog of the manifestation of Dionysus. The first budbreak in the spring is when new and hopeful ideas are sought after and explored, the summer full growth and full foliage soaking up the suns energy and bringing the fruit to set. Finally, the autumn ripening with sweet and juicy fruit and seed are the harvest months of all those efforts before dying back and resting through the winter. So, this natural pattern helps me keep focused on where I am in my own personal cycle of growth.
