Dionysus Is Lucios, the Liberator

Dionysus is our body's automatic reflexes and involuntary functions, the serpentine paristalsis of the archaic. The aim of his cult was extasis, which could mean anything from taking you out of yourself to a profound alteration of personality. Dionysian fluidity is the plenum of the dank female swamp. Sex and violence flood our dream life where objects and persons flicker and merge. Dreams are dionysian magic in the sensory inflammation of sleep.
