Anthesteria Approaching...

For most, it's here already, but my observance won't start til Thursday!  However, I have noticed a certain tone to my dreams the last couple of nights.  Specifically two nights ago, where there was this sense of ghosts and gloom along with love and sensuality.  I even woke up thinking, "How very anthesteric."  (Yes, I made up a word.)  The same night, my lover, unfamiliar with the myth of Erigone, dreamt of a girl killing herself and becoming a constellation. 

 

In the meantime, here's a very Dionysian song I discovered last year.  It's dark, it's sexy, and it seems particularly appropriate to Anthesteria... 

 

 

 

 

I wanna feel good
With my personal god
Tell me what to do
Tell me who to love

 

I see you walking
With the weight of the world
On your shoulders
Let me ease it

 

I wanna look good
For my personal god
Tell me how to feel
Tell me who to hurt

 

I see you hiding
Deep down in your hole
I would lend a hand
You can trust me

 

I wanna show you
My personal god
I've been hiding him
Hiding in the hole

 

I wanna feel good
With my personal god
I wanna look good
For my personal god
