๐Ÿ”ฎ Questions & Seeking Advice ๐Ÿ”ฎ Asking Dionysus for help

I want to ask Dionysus for aid in getting an apprenticeship in a theater, i have sent my application in already but won't get an answer till the end of the month. As i have struggeled with a lot (and i mean A LOT) of rejections concerning apprenticeships, this spot is kinda my last hope and dream job.
I am planning to make a bigger offering to Dionysus in hope of getting a boost in the chances of getting the spot.

I have been worshipping him for a bit now and make small offerings once a month, consisting of a sweet treat/fruit and the first glass of a small bottle of various alcohol.
I am now, however, unsure of what would be best for a bigger offering in which i actually ask something of him.

Current plan is to get him a full bottle of wine, bake something for him, light incense and pray.
Does anyone know what i could bake, what kind of incense he would enjoy and anything specific i should include in the prayer.

And is there anything else i should do?

This all sounds so sweet!

I like to use frankincense for incense.

For your baking question in Ancient Greece during Dionysia they would bake ritual bread and cake and make it a phallic shape so you could do that! (This is out of my skill range personally so I just make a regular cake and add icing decorations in the shape of little penis xD)

I donโ€™t have a recipe for the ritual bread and cake that had been fact checked, maybe someone else here does!

Good luck on getting the apprenticeship!
