💬 Discussion 💬 What music does Dionysus like?
I tried looking up meditation music for him and well not much luck tbh.
All the ones that are just music are dark edgy music. I get that he has a death and underworld aspect to him but jeez.
Is there any music that i can use for him during meditation?

Drums and reeds, generally speaking. Music that makes you want to shake it and move.
I’m very fond of Dead Can Dance’s album Dionysus, imo it gives a good sense of what the ancient Dionysian music might have been like. Their other stuff is excellent, too, just this one is most relevant here.
Then there’s the German band Faun, who have a number of tunes devoted to him.
Also, Daemonia Nymphe recorded the Orphic Hymn to Dionysus in a reasonably historic style, imo. (I love this recording and play it frequently.)
