Anyway, It seems that your text it's the only one in the web that mix animism with Dionysism. Actually, they are not exactly the same stuff :)
From this point of view I guess that 'or' will be better than both hyphen or 'and' in linking the two words.

OK. Thanks.
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
