In Honor Of The Lnai

“The Dance Of Bacchante” (Mural from a tomb in Villa Pamphili of Rome, Italy, now in the British Museum) by

Anonymus (1st century), Roman Empire

Yo -- I mean, Io, Lupercus.  Keep them wolves from my door.

The wild dancing, the cacophany and whirling motion, prepare us for the advent of the God.  Come, Dionysos Eribromios, and take me as Thy vehicle!  Io evohe!

...two are the forces most precious to mankind. The first is Demeter, the Goddess. She is the Earth -- or any name you wish to call her --  and she sustains humanity with solid food. Next came Dionysus, the son of the virgin,  bringing the counterpart to bread: wine and the blessings of life's flowing juices. His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery. Though himself a God, it is his blood we pour out to offer thanks to the Gods. And through him, we are blessed.

― Euripides, The Bacchae

The "Dionysian Light" icon

So there have been a number of other blogs I've noticed starting up with a Dionysian theme that have taken up the same icon that I have always used -- a posterization of one of His images from an old urn or vase, I believe.  It's a pretty common image, comes up on the first page of Google, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.  Still, it popped up again in another new Dionysian blog, and I'm starting to feel like my blog here just gets lost in the waves of Dionysian blogs with the same icon, so I want to change it.

The question is, to what?

I have a number of ideas already, including many images from my files that I haven't posted here yet.  But I thought I'd check with you, my lovely followers and whatnot, my own Propompeia of sorts, to see if you have any suggestions -- whether from the images I've already posted, or something else entirely.  Let me know?
