According to my birth certificate I am H. Jeremiah Lewis, but most people know me as Sannion, which is the religious name I’ve borne in honor of Dionysos since 1999. It means “the Wagging One” and refers to the phallic processions that were carried out in honor of the god in antiquity. However, the tongue also wags and this aligns nicely to my sacred vocation, which is being a writer and teacher about the gods.
