neutral  liz askew: Strange though (Tom) as no hits on the net. But yes for animistic and dyionisian, without the hyphen.

neutral  James (Jim) Davis: animist is already an adjective for animism without the extra ic.

  -> Thanks

agree  Jim Tucker (X): nothing wrong with "Dionysiac" - in fact better than "Dionysian" here - the latter has acquired overtones of Nietszche - i.e., it has become a metaphoric and expanded usage, in addition to this one - "-ac" is more specif. "Animistic, Dionysiac" or w/and
