Dionysus Greek god offering candle
This offering candle, dedicated to the Greek god, Dionysus, is scented with frankincense and myrrh and dyed the color of wine. It's adorned with grape stems, pieces of vine, selenite powder and clear quartz.* The 8 oz. tin measures 3" x 2".
Most of us know Dionysus as being the inventor of fermentation and watcher of vineyards, harvests, and god of unrestrained celebration. And, while he can certainly be petitioned for help in those areas, he has other not-so-commonly-known realms and abilities. Dionysus is closely associated with opium and magic mushrooms. This correspondence could relate to his "unrestrained celebration" aspect or, it could correspond to his ability to make people hallucinate, and even temporarily insane - to the point they may hurt themselves. He is also able to heal mental illness. Additionally, Dionysus has dominion over dance and theatrical performance. He is able to guide anyone in the performing arts.
Bringing offerings to pagan deities is a time-honored tradition. With 30+ hours of burn time, you will be able to honor Dionysus an hour a day, every day for a month, if you so choose!
*Kindly note that due to the unique nature of hand-made goods and the availability of materials, adornments, ingredients and colors may vary from those shown. But know that each candle will be equally beautiful and perfectly appropriate for each entity.
