🍇 About the Temple of Bacchus
The Temple of Bacchus is a living fellowship of revelry, ritual, and ecstatic teaching. It is a sanctuary of communion, mentorship, and deliberate practice, devoted to Dionysus—the god of wine, freedom, and ekstasis.
Our public threshold is the Blog, where reflections and stories flow freely to the world. But the deeper rhythm of our tradition is preserved in the Temple Canon, a series of volumes unfolding the Bacchic path step by step.
✦ The Canon Series
The Canon is the doctrinal foundation of the Temple.
Each volume reveals the way of Bacchus in turn:
-
Liber I: Practice
-
Liber II: Philosophy
-
Liber III: Doctrine
-
Liber IV: Herbalism (forthcoming)
-
Liber V: Mysteries of Ecstasy (forthcoming)
Together, these books form the Temple Canon, the sacred source of our teachings.
✦ Roots and Vision
The Temple of Bacchus is not an attempt at a historically accurate reconstruction. It is a religious‑magickal system, coherent and living, inspired by the known and reported practices of the Bacchanalia during the leadership of Paculla Annia in 186 BCE. From those ancient rites we draw rhythm, myth, and ecstasy, weaving them into a modern canon that honors the god while speaking to today’s seekers.
✦ Fellowship and Communion
The Temple is not only scripture but community.
Its rhythm is embodied in Bacchanals—local fellowships of practice and celebration—and in Thiasoi, specialized currents named in Greek or Latin that carry distinct aspects of Bacchic tradition. Together, these circles form the living body of the Temple, where ritual joy, teaching, and ecstatic communion are shared.
✦ Access
The Canon may be obtained through our Bibliography page, where each volume is presented with its cover, description, and direct link to Amazon.
