Hello and welcome to the new blog by Markos Gage – The Thyrsus.

I am a long-time writer and artist involved in the polytheist and pagan community. Previously known as The Dionysian Artist, I feel that I have outgrown that old blog and wish to restart anew.

The intention of this blog is to share my insights and offer suggestions in the exploration of the Dionysian religion and general Hellenic and Mediterranean polytheism. Here, you’ll find my free to access writing, commentary and discussions on subjects I feel are relevant towards our community.  

Thanks for reading, and may our adventures begin!
