In ancient times the bacchanalia were wild and mystic celebrations of the Greco-Roman god Bacchus (or Dionysus), the god of wine, ritual madness and ecstasy. The term has since come to describe any form of riotous, boisterous or drunken revelry.

The bacchanalia were rites originally held in ancient Greece as the Dionysia and included festal processions, drinking feasts and dramatic performances with actors portraying satyrs, nymphs and other mythical characters.

The rites spread to Rome from the Greek colonies in Southern Italy, at first they were secret and only attended by women (Holy shit! I wish I were there). In 2nd Century BC the cult became very popular and indulged in all kinds of crimes and political conspiracies at its nocturnal meetings that led to its prohibition by the Senate.

But the cult survived in southern Italy and, it’s obvious, in other parts of the world to this day, ‘cause, as we know very well, lust and gluttony are the eternal companions of human beings and can’t be eradicated in any way.

Today after a whole number of major transformations that occurred over the past centuries, this vicious cult flourishes at international level supported by the powerful porn industry and alcohol producers. It’s common but very dedicated adepts tend to gather in bars, night clubs were they render homage to Bacchus every night.

So let’s join these sincere believers and drink to our lovely God! We wish you eternal life among us! We promise you to be loyal servants and fulfill all precepts of your awful creed!
