#aedifico42| Greek Myth Connection - Booze?

Posted at: 7:09 pm

As Emeraldi indicates below (see his post on Greek Myth), Dionysus was accompanied by two Stewards with rods that assisted in disbursing wine, food, etc.

Is it me, or is it not ironic that the God of Wine and partying (Dionysus became Bacchus to the Romans) sits where the sun is at Meridian Height? It’s arguably the most important part of the day…when the Sun is at its most powerful, imparting its blessings at fullest strength on the earth… And we not only have that Deity himself represented in the JW, but also the Stewards…and we call them STEWARDS!!!

So why is my Lodge still dry? What are we afraid of?

Probably lawsuits. Damn lawyers…you can’t trust any of them…and they keep me from snorting a shot of old Scotch at my Lodge…right where I ought to be able to do it.

Bastards. I think lawyers ought to be shot…not all of them…just the non-Masonic ones.
