The Russell Simmons reading was originally uploaded to my YouTube channel on December 2, 2023. Dr. A. Shakur’s Sean “Diddy” Combs video was uploaded to her TikTok on or around October 6, 2024. The attached clip was originally uploaded to my YouTube Channel on October 7, 2024.
In December 2024, I conducted a reading on Russell Simmons for my YouTube channel, which I later privatized after shifting my content focus. The cards indicated that Russell may have invoked the spirit of Bacchus, the Roman god of ecstasy, fertility, and wine. Recently, in light of the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, I was reminded of my previous insights. A TikTok video suggested that Diddy was invoking Bacchus during his “freak-off” celebrations, revealing how both he and Russell Simmons, often seen as gatekeepers in hip-hop, share interconnected experiences and similar allegations. This sparked my fascination with how these powerful figures engage with spiritual practices and the implications of those connections.
Bacchus, known as Dionysus in Greek mythology, embodies wine, pleasure, revelry, ecstasy, and fertility. His worship was prevalent in ancient Greece and Rome, often involving ecstatic rituals called Bacchanalia, which honored his ties to wine and intoxication. Participants would escape societal norms through emotional and energetic expression during these celebrations.
Ways People Worshiped Bacchus:
Bacchanalia (Festivals):
These frenzied celebrations included wine-drinking, dancing, music, and the free expression of emotions, believed to bring participants closer to Bacchus. Ritual intoxication allowed worshippers to enter altered states of consciousness, feeling possessed by Bacchus and experiencing divine ecstasy.
It’s important to note that there is nothing inherently demonic or satanic associated with the worship of Bacchus or the concept of divine chaos. These practices celebrate the full range of human experiences—joy, ecstasy, and transformation—rooted in ancient understandings of nature and the divine. They focus on celebration, fertility, creativity, and personal freedom rather than worshiping evil or destructive forces.
As someone born in the Caribbean, Bacchus reminds me of Bacchanal, which refers to lively and often chaotic celebrations marked by music, dance, and revelry, especially during Carnival festivities. This term is derived from the Roman god Bacchus, symbolizing wine, fertility, and ecstatic celebration. Bacchanal was introduced to the islands during the colonial era, influenced by African, Indigenous, and European cultures. Enslaved Africans merged their traditions with European carnival celebrations, creating a unique expression of cultural identity and communal joy, particularly evident during Carnival season.
There is a clear connection between Bacchus and Caribbean celebrations like Jouvert and Jab Jab. Jouvert, a traditional Caribbean festival that occurs at dawn, celebrates the spirit of freedom and resistance, often featuring paint, mud, and joyous music. Jab Jab, linked to the devil figure, involves participants dressed in dark colors, representing the playfulness and chaos of Bacchus’s revelries. Both Jouvert and Jab Jab reflect the influence of African, Indigenous, and European traditions, celebrating ecstasy and communal joy, much like the Bacchanalia of ancient times.
Ultimately, the connections between Bacchus, Russell Simmons, and Sean Combs reveal a deeper exploration of spirituality and cultural expression within the realms of celebration, freedom, and creativity. By understanding these ties, we can appreciate the the ways in which ancient practices continue to influence modern life.
