The Bleeding God 

Incredible production! I love the topic of Christ relationship to Dionysus... where it gets really interesting is in symbolism, epithets, rituals and mysteries which are not just common, but mean and convey the same thing in the context which they exist and are invoked. For anyone interested in the esoteric argument I am referring to I am going to copy/pasta below a run-down of it I laid out for a Christian in the past: "The foundational myth of Orphism is that after Zagreus is born, his father Saturn and the titans sacrifice him, dismembering his body and devouring his flesh, Zues smites them all, and humanity is born out of the ashes retaining the "divine spark" vis a vis twice-born Dionysus from the event. The foundational myth of Christ's divinity is that the God "the Father" sacrifices his son, who is resurrected and redeems the members of humanity who embibe the "holy spirit" i.e. born again in name of their diety. In both cases what the ritual, Eucharist or Orphic sacrifice, is dramatizing is the participants devouring the flesh of the diety who represents unity, in order to escape the suffering of their mortal individuation by initation into eternal life of the cult(or at least cult which promises eternal life). In both cases, the sacrifice of the deity represents the way their own material body is ultimately sacrificed as well. This extends to the shared association with wine, the vine, the mysteries he performs surrounding it. The symbolism of wine represents and achieves the same metaphysical truth in both cases, which is to dissolve the individual into the eternal spirit/collective, you drink wine as a communion, the ritual coming together, which is precisely the same process the wine represents in to the Bacchus cults. [In reference a claim the Christian made that wine merely represents "life"]>>>The extent that it is a symbol of life at all is wholely related to fertility, which, again, stems from its role as aphrodesiac and facilitative role in the rejoing of divided parts, male and female, into the unity of intercourse in which life is born. The blood of the diety is wine because it lowers inhibitions, it unleashes passions, love, feelings of joy and revelry, all the platitudes that Jesus is associated with. The very act of ritual canibalism of your own Diety can not be understand in any other than the Orphic/Dionysian, there is no biblical precedent or explanation for." It is everywhere in the New Testiment, down to the way Jesus rides a donkey during his victorious entry to Jerusalem, the way the Dionysus and satyrs rode donkeys to victory against Titans

I cannot even comprehend how this video is not already at millions of views… the production value is amazing and the topic is so interesting

I absolutely love everything about your content! Keep it up!

Δεν υπάρχει μόνο φοβερή αισθητική στο βίντεο μα πάνω από όλα κάθε φορά μια εκπληκτική φιλοσοφική ανάλυση. Θέλουμε κι άλλα, μη σταματάτε!

Very interesting ideas and facts, that show a clear indication that Christianity wasn't OUT OF THE BLEU, but PERHAPS more of a symbolic religion to unify the Roman Empire with its multiple paganistic rituals. Again, thanks AGR team and Michali!

Orphic mysteries seems to focus on the idea of ceasing the reincarnation proccess after becoming initiated and learning ways to cease the cycle of death and rebirth the golden neclaces put with the dead to guide them in the underworld are an example of this.

Amazing quality and content, I'm absolutely in love with these videos

What of the children of God was foretold in the songs of the ancients, Look, we are it, ourselves; fruit of Hesperia it is!

I have studied this subject for thirty years, but I never grow tired of hearing others pontificate on it and this man does an outstanding job. Thank you sir.....,

Μπράβο παιδιά. Ωραία κείμενα, σκηνοθεσία και συνολική παρουσίαση. Η θεματογραφία σας, απαραίτητη για το επίπεδο υγρασίας που χρειάζονται οι φωλιές νερού μέσα στο καμένο δάσος.

That's more like it. I agree with all of the points made. Have you looked into any of the recent revelations made regarding ancient pagan temples with relics hidden under the vatican?

Brilliant

Τρομερός, φανταστική δουλειά!Θα ασχοληθείς καθόλου με τον Πλωτίνο της Αλεξάνδρειας;

May we find the Truth, in whatever capacity. Blessings be to you and yours in this endeavor.

These are great!

That ankh is often associated with the mirror of venus , the handle represents the cross of matter the bull and the circle the spirit the mouth . The circle represents the breath of life . To become an ankh means to be true of mouth , dogs in egypt represented death but it represents the id primal man or survival needs , remember anubis and Isis represent the dog sirius . They blow the breath of life in it which nenotes true of mouth an ankh , the elohim are ankhs . A wolf is a wolf you can dress it up in white garments and it's still a wolf .

very well done

Serious question - would you consider "The Shining" to be Dionysian religion type movie? Blood, terror. Jack's name is very like Iacch. He is determined to go out in an isolated place and dismember his little son.

4:24 The shepherds at Jesus' birth were those who were living with their flocks in the fields outside Bethlehem. That didn't happen on December 25th, as it would have been too cold. If you don't believe me try it for yourself. Jesus was born in spring right near Passover and Easter.

DyonIsus is a Thracian God, adopted by the Greeks as many other things. The Christianity has a lot of similarities with the Thracian Oprhism / Not the Greek one.

You are from Greece? You seem very confused about a Mediterranean climate and how plants grow and how and when harvests are gathered.

Esau in the bible would be pronounced esus in roman , it is the Egyptian Osiris who is Esau and he is Dyonisis . You will see Dyonisis depicted with the 7 sisters the plaises above him whilst crucified on the cross . In egypt hathor is one of the plaides , in the east the hindu murugan is nursed by the plaides just as dyonisis is . Also in the middle east the mandeans saw their prophet as John the baptist , who is the peacock angel murugans title . John the baptist as enki was the peacock angel or John the baptist was a manifestation of the peacock angel . Enki is associated with samael in the kabbalah and the tree of good and evil , he had a garden in dilum Eden. Osiris was the pharoh at death , and Horus was the living pharoh , every pharoh was the image of horus , the Egyptians named horus apollo in their own language . They made apollo the archangel Micheal the right hand of God and dyonisis samael the left . In the east Apollo is mithral of the persians . Every Roman emporer wanted to be the image of mithra when the emporer died the emporer wanted to be deified. Just like in the religion of Nimrod. Apollo is nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord he denotes a high priest and king . He would be king of the tribe of judah . The tribe of judah are the elohim in the bible the son of God bene elohim . Look what yahweh , Jupiter, said look the man Adam has become one of us knowing good and evil . Yahweh known as muruduk or marduk to the persians was a marud which denoted a warrior in the hindu religion . Over 200 times in the bible it states your God is a man of war . In the bible yahweh perform s the same feats as marduk . Look at the name Djahuty thoth in ancient language the D was interchangeable with t . Look at the name jahud as in judah . In the east thoth was chitragupta, further west he was a " prophet" nebu the son of marduk jupiter . The chaldeans worshipped their ancestors , thoth was a kshatreya as chitragupta a warrior caste who were rulers and aristocracy . The same pattern is reflected in platos republic , I.e his guardians . Oh and the female of dyonisis is venus , they are also associated with mercury and his staff represents the nadis or the chakras . Now I will tell you the animal of apollo is the wolf , the deity that protected the pharoh the dog star sirius the star of Isis . The star of isis is associated in the east with rudra the howler , the male version of the dog star is anubis . John the baptist was a nasorean or nazorean he was a gnostic . The rituals of the nazoreans are similar to the Egyptian,s . Load of crap in that bible your worshipping men . Hathor is the personification of the rauch ha quodesh the holy spirit , the mandeans had that too . Sekemet the lady of the flame proclaims she is the eye of horus as fire . The fire is the son on earth often portrayed on the head dress of the pharoh . Look at moses he goes up a mountain a high place an talks to an ashur a tree , eyah ashur eyah , Iam the ever living ashur . Go look what the sun represents in relation to the soul . In the east it was enki who supposedly made men . Look at his title the magician , a magician makes illusions , his female version venus is called maya illusion. Enki , venus and osiris all associated with providing wealth .

Tammuz is later than Osiris. You mean 3000 bce Dumuzi and 4000 bce Osiris.

a little over the top.....one would say ?

Dyonisis is the son of shiva or cybele, none of you are immortal . Dyonisis rode a donkey to . Dyonisis represents a level of leaving the self and communing with God. Don't lie , there is another story that doesn't involve eating the veg .

This is false sorry
