Pagan Regeneration A Study of Mystery Initiations in the Graeco-Roman World
BY Harold R. Willoughby
"According to Harold Willoughby in Pagan Regeneration, the festival of Theoinia was celebrated by those families who were believed to be direct descendents of Dionysos' original followers, in whose vineyards grew vines which were offshoots from the vine spray that the god himself had given them. Under such circumstances the devotees of Dionysus would be sure of the presence of the very god himself in the consecrated wine made from the sacred grapes."
