Fig. 30s. She/they. Maenad.
Hi, I'm Fig! I'm a detransitioned, nonbinary, queer woman — whew, what a mouthful! — in my 30s, who is devoted heart and soul to Dionysos-Zagreus. I am also devoted to Ariadne, Demeter, and Persephone, and I work closely with Archangel Raphael and Phanes. I studied cultural anthropology and (mostly) classical archaeology at Temple University and Colorado State University, and I'm interested in the ethnography of mysticism. While I'm open about being the current host of a DID system, my system information is private aside from my co-host Artemis (Arty). He may blog here sometimes.
Practice.
I was born into a Catholic family and devout until my early 20s, after which I drifted between being an atheist and agnostic until stumbling upon Dionysos at the end of January 2025. I'm an animist and eclectic polytheist, though I'm the most public about my experiences with Hellenic polytheism. I have a deep affinity for the underworld and its caretakers, and Hades and Persephone are like parents to me. I dabble in divination and dream work. You can learn more about my devotion here, or check out my blog!
