Dionysus is the ancient god of viticulture and winemaking, the god of growth and fertility, the god of madness, ritual frenzy, religious ecstasy, festivals and theater. He comes to join in the fun, to relieve his worshippers from anxiety and everyday suffering, to defeat death itself. At one time, Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl G. Jung, Aleister Crowley, Oscar Wilde, Gustav Klimt turned to his image.... Even now, Dionysus does not remain just a character of classical art or literature, he continues to inspire modern artists, philosophers, writers and musicians. From John Cruise's book you will learn how the image of Dionysus has transformed through the epochs, how it appears to us today and what elements of the cult of this deity can be brought into our daily life to fill it with more life, passion, joy. "In this book I will talk about the connection between the cult of Dionysus and the eternal obsession of people with intoxication, sex and ecstasy. This cult recognizes -and accepts - the duality of existence. There is a place in it for both pleasure and horror; the fullness of life, as well as its losses and destruction; wild noise and devastating silence. Dionysus gives both personal and universal inspiration. That is why he was worshipped in ancient times, and someone continues to admire him today." John Cruz
