A religion that is a revival of the worship of Orpheus.
He was a mortal poet and musician. His music was so beatiful that it entranced humans, gods and even animals.
When his wife Eurydice died he was so grife stricken he was alowed to desend into the underworld to bring her back. But he was warned not to turn around and look at her till they reached the Earth plane but he did anyway and she desended back into the underworld.
When he was in the underworld he learned the mysteries of the spiritual plane. That is why he is worshiped, because of his great knowledge.
Poetry written by him and/or in his name give instructions on how to purify the soul and how to have a happy afterlife and formulae for a safe journey.
In the Orphic religion it is said that dionysis wought the titan giants and was wounded and died, and was eaten by them,but the god Athene was able to save his heart which she gave to Zeus who swallowed it and absorbed his spiritual essance into his body and then fathered him with Semele. And so dionysis is called the twice born.
Zeus killed the Titan giants with thunderbolts for killing Dionysis, and the Orphic religion teaches that the human race sprang from the Titan's remains.
And that is why the human race rebels against the gods and at the same time have a divine spark from the flesh of Dionysis.
In the Orphic religion the underworld is a place of regeneration and rebirth through reincarnation until spiritual purity is reached.

Get the Orpheus mug.n. The nickname of drummer, Thomas Tierney and name of local Rutherford NJ band Orpheon. The nickname is derived as a joke from local single artist, Chris Reyes, better known as Kail. Thomas was recognized from Orpheon one day in gym class by Kail and the nickname was formed. The band long since broke up but the name stuck as a souvenir of the band and its local contributions...which were limited.
"yo Orpheon!" -Kail
"hey man; whats up bro?" -Orpheon
"you guys playing at the next show at the library?" -Kail
"dude i told you 3 minutes ago, the band broke up last year"- Orpheon

Get the orphea mug.Being "fully orpheoused" (adj.): having done a drug in each possible orpheous. Also note "double-orpheousing": doing something in two orpheouses.
For example, if one had recieved a beer funnel, done a vodka-tampon, snorted something, taken something both orally and ocularly, then he or she would be said to have fully orpheoused.
