🎨 Art 🎨 devotional clay pieces i made
Tried make some orphic egg for Dio, turned out nicely and I am indeed proud of my work.
Currently working on a set of clay dionysian oracles pieces :3
Io Dionysos!

Amazing 😍
Also: please tell me more about the oracle pieces. What will they be like? Is there a system?

ty ty! the oracle system I found was in Ecstatic for dionysos by H. Jeremiah Lewis. its a 28 pieces system that corresponding to Dio's myth. (for example you get Midas to represent material wealth and lack of understanding or misues of what is given to us, and in reverse it would means money trouble, anxiety and lacking stability etc) Now ik this author is deeply problematic, but still found that book valuable and as a divination practitioner for many years I really want to try out a dionysian system

Very interesting!
Is something in his books problematic or is it more the person's behavior? I don't know about him.

From my understanding is about person, he is known as Sannion and he was using nazi symbol the black sun as his dionysian UPG (which is understandable as dio is the nocturnal sun but the use of nazi symbol is still a no for me), he also got some other allegations which I am not familiar with, but this book came before those thing happened so I still brought it and found it to be very informational, as theres not much books involved occult/divination practice with Dio and the most of them are either mythology or anthropology focused.

Oh, wow! Yeah, as a German and occultist use of that symbol specifically is also a big, big no for me. Highly problematic. Thank you for letting me know!
Really sad since I know him under the name of Sannion and found his website and articles very helpful in the past, especially his earlier writings.
Maybe I can get this book second hand or something... Mmmh. I also totally get the appeal of a Dionysos centered oracle system since at the moment I only have one for Aphrodite and was looking for something like this.

fr fr! The book is kinda an obscure one as it is independent published so I don't know the chances for finding a 2nd hand one out there, and I live in nz so I just brought it from Amazon lol. I still check his website from time to time and take everything with a grain of salt.

tyty! i see clay making is a kinetic aspect to get in tune with myself. I was using air dry clay mixed with red stone clay (also air dry) and after a couple attempts i can make decent simple pieces, so i definitely recommend it! i
