Hello Bonnie, Since no one has responded so far, not even to mark our celebration of the resurrection of a Dionysian Christ this Easter, I might perhaps offer...
I have come across numerous references to Hellenistic followers of Dionysus being tattooed or branded in some way -- men with an ivy leaf, women with a fawn. I...
