Recently, I invited GOD Michael, and Mahatma Gandhi to my meditation for more information.
I asked about the Pillars of Ashoka and Gandhi commented that the round columns signified a torch and the column meant supporting a torch/torch flame/light. The pillars of Ashoka were an example of a mix of Greco-indo culture. The pillar’s design was influenced by ancient Greek culture as a result of Alexander the Great’s influence in the area, and then mixed with the local culture.
I asked about Dionysus and GOD Michael confirmed that Dionysus referred to him too. Dionysus was also known to early ancient Greeks (the Mycenaean Greek) too. However, there were lots of distortions around Dionysus due to Satan’s distortion in ancient Greek mythology.
I asked whether it’s really a pine cone top on the Thyrsus, a sceptre that Dionysus often holds, depicted by his statue. GOD Michael commented it’s a distortion by Satan and that he actually holds a torch on his hand and it’s a light/flame on top of a torch holder. Wood was originally used for the columns in temples because they signify a torch.
I asked the meaning of the wine cup held in his other hand and the grapes. GOD Michael confirmed that the wine meant the spirits/souls and that the grapes meant harvesting.
I asked and GOD Michael also commented that the use of candles in the worship in many religions originated from the symbol of the torch/light and that electronic candles/lights are equally good to use. (Electronic candles and lights are widely available nowadays, encouraging people to change to electronic ones.)

Below is a paean to Dionysus, sourced from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iacchus (Iacchus is another name for Dionysus; )
“An inscription found on a stone stele (c. 340 BC), found at Delphi, contains a paean to Dionysus, which describes his travels. From Thebes, where he was born, he first went to Delphi … then next to Eleusis, where he is called “Iacchus”:
And in your hand brandishing your night-lighting flame, (This shows that it’s a torch in Dionysus’ hand, not a pine-cone top)
with god-possessed frenzy
you went to the vales of Eleusis
…
where the whole people of Hellas’
land, alongside your own native witnesses
of the holy mysteries, calls upon you
as Iacchus: for mortals from their pains
you have opened a haven without toils.”
