DIONYSIS GREEK GOD

DIONYSOS (Dionysus) was the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and wild frenzy. He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy. He was usually accompanied by a troop of Satyrs and Mainades (wild female devotees).

MYTHS

Dionysos was a son of Zeus and the princess Semele of Thebes. During the course of her pregnancy, the god's jealous wife Hera tricked Semele into asking Zeus to appear before her in his full glory. Bound by oath, the god was forced to comply and she was consumed by the heat of his lightning-bolts. Zeus recovered their unborn child from her body, sewed him up in his own thigh, and carried him to term. <<More>>
After his birth from the thigh of Zeus, Dionysos was first entrusted to the care of Seilenos (Silenus) and the nymphs of Mount Nysa, and later to his aunt Ino, Semele's sister, and her husband Athamas. Hera was enraged when she learned of the boy's location and drove the couple mad, causing them to kill both their children and themselves. <<More>>
The Thrakian king Lykourgos (Lycurgus) attacked Dionysos and his companions as they were travelling through his land and drove them into the sea. As punishment, the god inflicted him with madness causing him to murder his wife and son and mutilate himself with an axe. <<More>>
King Pentheus of Thebes refused to accept the god's divinity and tried to apprehend him. The god retaliated by driving the king's daughters into a crazed frenzy and they tore him apart limb from limb. <<More>>
Dionysos instructed the hero Ikarios (Icarius) of Athens in the art of winemaking. However, some shepherds, upon drinking the wine, thought they had been poisoned and killed him. The sorrowful god then set him amongst the stars as the constellation Bootes. <<More>>
As Dionysos was travelling through the islands of the Aegean Sea he was captured by a band of Tyrrhenian pirates who thought to sell him into slavery.

Warlock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Warlock (disambiguation).
A warlock is a male practitioner of evil magic (distinguished from a wizard or sorcerer, whose magic may be benign).[1] The most commonly accepted etymology derives warlock from the Old English wǣrloga meaning "oathbreaker" or "deceiver".[2] However, in early modern Scots, the word came to be used as the male equivalent of witch (which can be male or female, but is used predominantly for females).[3] From this use, the word passed into Romantic literature and ultimately 20th-century popular culture. A derivation from the Old Norse varð-lokkur, "caller of spirits", has also been suggested;[4][5][

Witches, Warlocks, Wizards, And Sorcerers are the premier paranormal practitioners of Magic! Magic is the manipulation of metaphysical energy by varying means to bend reality to one’s will. As metaphysical energy is a foundational programming element of our reality it can be supernaturally shuffled under the right circumstances. Everyone who wields the wondrous ability to practice magic has the potential to use it for good, or evil.  Although in the case of Warlocks, they tend to follow the dark path.  Interestingly enough a fair amount of Sorcerers, and Sorceresses end up winding into wayward ways due to the awesome power they have harnessed free of any need for higher dimensional deities!  That calling upon, or praying to higher powers is the first trek into magic for most beyond simple Spells. That being said Sorcerer’s are generally the most powerful followed by Wizards.  Witches and Warlocks come in third. However as with any practitioner of magic, or any field of talent, a person can become so experienced in a so called lesser craft that they outshine those engaged in more advanced arts!

The Story of Arachne and the Goddess Athena

Archane weaves and she weaves so well

Arachne, The Greek Goddess Who Became The First Spider
Arachne, the goddess in Greek mythology who was the world's first spider, was originally a young mortal, daughter of a shepherd famous for the beautiful wools that he dyed purple.Gifted in the art of weaving, Arachne studied for a while with Athena, the Greek goddess of war who was a masterful weaver and potter. When Greece was not at war, Athena spent much of her time teaching crafts to the Greek people. Arachne returned to her home in countryside of Lydia and perfected her skill in weaving beautiful fabrics that had complicated designs. Word of her talents spread and nymphs from the forests and rivers came from afar to watch her weave her excellent tapestries. One of the nymphs asked Arachne if her incredible talent was a gift from the Greek goddess Athena. Arachne, who now felt her work was every bit as fine as Athena's, was too proud to admit she had ever needed a teacher. Instead she replied, "There is none in heaven or earth whose weaving could compete with mine. Just let Athena come, if she will, and we'll see whose work is best!" Word soon reached Athena's ears, and Athena, disguised as an old woman, appeared at Arachne's door, ready to give the young woman a chance to redeem herself.  "Age and experience bring wisdom, you must be careful not to offend the gods," she advised. "You should recognize the power of the goddess for she helps those who honor her. No human work is so perfect that it cannot be improved." But Arachne told the crone to save her breath, saying "What do you know? You're so old you're probably senile. I don't need your advise or Athena's. Why she even shrinks from taking me up on my challenge to see who is really best!" "Arachne, you've gone too far!", a voice rang out. The old woman had disappeared and the goddess Athena in all her golden glory stood in her place. "I accept your challenge and, to reassure you that it's a fair contest, the goddess Envy will be the judge."
Two looms were set up and they both worked furiously, their fingers flying back and forth as they wove the tapestries. For her design Athena chose to present all the gods and goddesses in their glory in the center of her masterpiece.  She showed the gods seated in majesty in the Acropolis, Poseidon striking the rock with his trident to create a stream, and other fine devices. Surrounding the center figures, she wove various scenes of mortals behaving foolishly, including one scene, a warning to her irreverent rival,  that featured girls being changed into chickens. A wreath of olive branches, representing the olive tree that Athena's fine gift to the city of Athens, framed the gorgeous design.
Arachne, refusing to be humbled, decided to depict stories that showed the deities in the poorest light--Zeus engaged in his many marital infidelities, a drunken Dionysius, and even the revered Apollo as a lowly shepherd. She surrounded the work with a beautiful border of ivy and various flowers. Envy reported that she was unable to declare a winner, that both works were beautiful and flawless.Seeing Arachne's work, Athena was so enraged with her insolence and disrespect that she slapped her face and tore her tapestry into shreds. Arachne, realizing what she had done, grew so depressed that she hung herself. Athena was a superbly rational goddess but often out of touch with her own feelings, and often unmoved by the emotional states of others. Consequently she was surprised by Arachne’s suicide. It upset her greatly for she had not meant for things to go that far.
		Athena took pity on poor Arachne and decided to let her live, but not as a human. Athena sprinkled her limp body with the juice of the herb called Monkshead and watched as Arachne transformed into a spider.  Her head began to shrink, her hair fell out, and her nimble fingers grew into long, thin legs.  "I've let you live, but for being so vain",  Athena said, "you will hang and spin forever". INTEGRAL INTERPRETATION OF TRUE STORY OF ATHENA AND ARACHNE:   - By Mukunda Athena was a God that lived in Greece, she had a student named Arachne who was Her student who she taught not only the art of weaving, in which both became adept - but also raised for up to the level of a God like Herself. Hence the story represents Archanes discovery by Athenas teachings that the Gods were previously mortals and that through Her Death (suicide - death of ego) She became a spider and a weaver also - WEaving the WEB OF LIFE itself - Spirit in the thrid person - of which we are all a part. All glories great Athena !!! And Arachne!!!
