In Modern Minoan Paganism, there is a holy day called the Feast of Grapes and it takes place on August 31st. It is a day to celebrate the Grape Harvest and honor the sacrifice of the Minoan God, Dionysus. Every year, during August and September, Dionysus is sacrificed with the grape harvest. If you're not a Minoan Pagan, and still want to do something similar, you can use this day as inspiration for your own celebrations. There's nothing wrong with creating your own days if there's nothing that fits your path. If it holds no special meaning to you, then what's the point? Inspired by Feast of the Grapes, I have the Sacrifice of Dionysus, August 13-September 13th. In the past, I've watched/attended drum circles, drum and trance, given offerings and sexual energy, and drank wine for Dionysus. There's also a short story in a book called 'Written in Wine' that is about Dionysus and the Spider Goddess Arachne–Her spiders protect His flesh and blood from pests
