mythandrists:magic-spelldust:cleanse (by sara anne haas)#dear diary: last night performed the ecstatic rite of dionysus.#dressed in fawnskin and carrying a thyrsus with a serpent wound around my throat#ate sweet grapes and drank great draughts from bowls of wine borne by satyrs.#gorged on the dark burned meats of a sacrificial bull tearing my way through flesh into divinity.#pounded the forest floor with rapturous dancing to flutes and cymbals and drumming like a frenzied heartbeat till the soles of my feet tore#entered a state of delirious bacchic ecstasy. transcended my material form.#surrounded by masked maenads wild and drunken and disarrayed#woke up with half a man’s red heart in my hand#blood’s a bitch to get out of a white dress.
