I can see how it could feel awkward at first, it takes time to relax into the idea of working with deity. The half mask could be an invitation to explore more to get to know him better. Or that you’ve only scratched the surface of who he really is.

Don’t expect thunderclaps or brilliant visions. Sure, they can happen, but usually they are more subtle, preferring to respond with images, feelings, scents, or a sudden sense of knowing. Sometimes they come in dreams later, like he did, and sometimes they show you signs over the next several days. Sometimes they barely make contact and sometimes they won’t leave you alone. Every deity will be different.

As for the lesson, what part of the fundamentals did you like best and why? Also the tag box in the journal is for keywords to describe your journal they get turned into hashtags. So not my name, and no spaces, but something like lessonone or Dionysusfocus or just Dionysus you can use more than one just use the tab to finish one and add the next.
