Written
in Wine is the first volume in Neos Alexandria's
Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a collection of collaborative anthologies
dedicated to the gods of Greece and Egypt. Written in Wine honors
Dionysos, the god of wine, vegetation, religious ecstasy,
personal liberation, and the mysteries of life. With almost sixty
pieces by over thirty contributors from every segment of the Hellenic
polytheist community (as well as individuals who do not identify as
such) it is truly exhaustive in its portrayal of the different ways
that people understand and relate to this complex and powerful deity
today. Within these pages you will find original artwork, poetry,
essays, fiction, scholarly translations, personal accounts of
experiences with the god and even a couple plays! In their very
different ways each of our authors show that Dionysos is alive and
still deeply touching our lives today.
Written in Wine
can be purchased from our online store by visiting the following link: http://www.createspace.com/3334423
Or you can order it through Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1434836738/
However, if possible, we would ask you to purchase it through our
website since that will give
the Bibliotheca Alexandrina a higher portion of the royalties without
changing the price for you the customer.
Why does that matter? Because all of the proceeds from Written
in Wine – as well as
the other volumes in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina series –
will be used to help promote the revival of the worship of the Greek
and Egyptian gods.
50% of
the royalties will be used to put on Neos Alexandria’s
4-day religious Gathering in 2009.
25% of
the proceeds will be used to bring out further devotional
volumes for other Greek and Egyptian gods through the Bibliotheca
Alexandrina.
And the remaining 25%
of the proceeds will be given to a worthy
charitable organization in the name of the gods of Greece and Egypt.
So, not only will you be getting a wonderful book about the modern
worship of Dionysos – but your money will be going to do good
work and help the revival of ancient polytheistic religions.
We are rebuilding the Library of Alexandria one book at a time!
