Books to learn more about Dionysus (I used Amazon because it is easy, you may find these cheaper elsewhere):
Dionysus Myth and Cult - Considered by some Dionysians to be the Dionysian Bible.
Archetypal Image of Indestructible Life - Also very helpful scholarly source.
Ecstatic - Written by a Dionysian priest, this is a really good book for beginning to know the god.
Tending the Bull - Written by the same guy, focuses on a more specific aspect of Dionysus, within the Starry Bull tradition (Will explain more in the website section). If you do find yourself interested in the Starry Bull tradition, this author has several other books on amazon, you can find them on his author page.
Websites:
The Dionysion - Kinda old, lots of sites missing, but still has some useful info.
Temple of Dionysus - Another old site, might be of some use though.
The Theoi page for Dionysus - Lots of scholarly info on the god.
The Bakcheion - This is the website of the Starry Bull. It's a bit much at first, but the information is well sourced and presents a side of Dionysus many don't see. Please be sure to practice khernips before exploring their pantheon page, but their Dionysus page has a lot of great things, specifically the Feast of the Senses and Devotional Activities for Dionysus.
Here is my post after my first attempt at Enthousiasmos (Possession by the god)
Here is my post about one of my early rites for Dionysus.
Labrys, a Greek polytheist group, also celebrates Phalleforia, a Dionysian festival, once a year in Athens, and has some pretty good videos of the festival. Here are some:
2017 Phalleforia - 7:33 The official video of the festival
2017 Phalleforia - 4:19 A better edited version
2016 Phalleforia - 28:02 Unofficial video of the festival
2016 Phalleforia - 18:11 Official video of the festival
Finally here is Daemonia Nymphe's Hymn to Bacchus, probably the most well known musical hymn for the god.
Edit: Sorry if this is too much, but I missed one thing. The Bacchae's Sacred Chants from the Greek movie Two Suns in the Sky.
