I'm 31 years old, things are not working out as expected, please I need spiritual guidance, I'm new here, please help me, finances are not working out for me in my business, when I think about the future it looks scary with little hope, I'm unhappy and emotionally cranky, I need to find headway for my life, I want to find meaning to life, I want to be able to find answers to my problems in life, I have been humiliated and disrespected by almost everyone around me all because I choose the life wanting to marry an older woman with children who is 12 years older than I am. I've been stripped of my dignity everyday by people who I should run to for protection and help.

Hello, something is obviously going terribly wrong for you, and you feel you’re hitting rock bottom.

You are lost, and feel disrespected by those closest to you like you don’t matter and no one is there to sympathize.

I understand how you’re feeling and I want you to know as human beings this happens and losing it all is part of our path so we can make it all back and win.

You are lost and feel your future is hopeless because you are staring at a blank page that only seems to darken.

You need to sit with yourself and write down everything that’s going wrong. Vent and let it all go when you’re writing it down.

Then write down who do you want to be and what do you want to achieve.
A successful business? Write it down.
People, significant other and peers who respect and value you? Write it down.

So you’ve lost it all and is feeling you’ve hit rock bottom and turning into ashes. This is the first stage before you turn into a burning, shining, strong and powerful Phoenix.

To turn it all around you need a strong why/s , why do you want to change, improve and turn it all around to the better?

If you can find this burning desire and reason you’ll turn from ashes to something better, this desire that’ll keep you up at night and wake up for it too. You’ll succeed.

Figure out your why, and what do you want out of life and MAKE IT HAPPEN. No one here can help you achieve what you want out of your life. But you can do it for yourself.

You already know what you don’t want, get to know what you want, and do whatever it takes to get there.

There are also multiple tools the ToZ provides you to help you succeed, like money spells and other types of spells. However you’ll need patience, desire, and consistency, and determination to make it all work.

Go get it brother I believe in you. When you meet the new version of you, don’t allow people who disrespect you with it ever again. You > Anyone else.
 
You might be having a Saturn transit, or you may be nearing the end of one. This is a moment in your life when you understand what is important to you and what you want to achieve. It’s a good thing, it’s a sign of maturation.

Keep up with daily aura cleansing and maintain a strong aura of protection. This takes only 10–15 minutes per day, and you’ll see benefits and improvements in your mindset. Read the sermons of the clergy and connect with your Guardian Daimon through daily prayer. Wishing you the best, be strong!

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate.

Please how do I do the aura cleansing and maintaining a strong aura of protection like you counselled, I'm new here, don't really know much here.

Studying your chart will explain everything and give you a direction to focus towards:


You don't need to type your name obviously, but do click that you're male.


Obliterating your Saturn will also do wonders, both from within and from outisde. You'll likely see that most (but not all) of the problems you're dealing with come mainly from Saturn's position in your chart.

In regards to obliterating your Saturn:

Raise your energies before each working as well for better results as that adds more power to the working:



I do the Vuuh, Vaah and Voohh vibrations while visualising the 3 chakras glowing in either golden light or in their specific color and then I vibrate SATANAS 10 times, visualising my body in a golden light.

Vibrating the rune 108 times isn't necessary. Here's how I styled mine:

36 repititions, it's a a multiplier of 9. It's not too much but no too little. I chose Ansuz but you can choose any rune that HPS Lydia listed as approriate.

I then repeated the affirmation 9 times which declared in detail all the negative effects of Saturn in my chart "are gone permanently in a positive and healthy manner for me". Don't just say "all negative effects", that's too vage. Read what it says in your chart, then write down a specific negative effect of Saturn in your chart is gone permantly in a positive and healthy manner. I chose to write down basically all of them in a list in the affirmation, declaring that they are all gone. In the end though i also say "all negative Saturnian energy is now gone permanently in a positve and healthy manner for me" anyway for good measure.

This works for both inner states and outer effects of Saturn. I have seen results from this on how i behave and react to things.

I'm pretty sure this would work for negative effects from other planets so don't hesitate to write them down as well.

During the working, visualise your body being engulfed in golden light and chains are breaking and falling off you. Do this during both the vibration of the rune and the affrimation. The chains symbolise Saturn's binding, negative effects on you. This does work.

9 is the number of endings, so it's the best number for this imo.

The Moon is still waning (which is very good to start a working to end things or banish/curse, waxing is good to start a working to create something that is benefitial for you), so you can still start an obliterating Saturn working.

Here's more information on this:

Hello sir.

I did my dedication ritual and also completed the 40 days meditation program, and I can't see improvements in my situation. Please is there something I'm not getting right
 
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for trusting a group of strangers with something this heavy. I want to start by saying plainly that what you are carrying is real, and the people who dismiss it as weakness, drama, or punishment have already failed you once. You came here asking for spiritual guidance, meaning, and a way forward, and the very fact that you asked, instead of going numb, is the first sign that something in you is still reaching for the light. That reaching is worth everything. Hold onto it.

Let me look at what you named, because each part of it matters and none of it is small. Your business is struggling, and money pressure is one of the cruelest forms of suffering because it touches every other part of life. The future looks frightening to you, and that fear has teeth. You are unhappy and emotionally on edge, which is the body and soul registering that something is wrong and demanding attention. And on top of all of that, you are being humiliated and disrespected by the very people you would normally turn to for help, and the cause of that humiliation is a life choice you have made with your own will: to build a future with a woman twelve years your senior who has children of her own. That last part deserves its own care, and I will come back to it.

The first thing the path here offers you is a different way of seeing the whole cluster. The article on Eudaimonia draws on Aristotle, whose teaching is worth keeping close here: one swallow does not make a spring, nor does one day. And so too, one day or a short time does not make a man blessed and happy. What you are living through is a season, not a verdict. It is a season that is testing you, but the season is not the whole of your life, and it is not the final word on who you are. The article Life's Difficulties and Zevism addresses exactly this pattern: when several heavy things land at once, people begin to question everything, even the Gods, even themselves. Anger rises, despair rises, and the feeling that the world is against you becomes almost tangible. That feeling is well known to anyone who has walked the path for any length of time, and it does not last forever, even when it feels like it will.

There is a related teaching in Healing, Cleaning, and Dealing With Life Negativity that I think will help you name what is happening inside. The author uses the image of an attic that has never been cleaned, sometimes for a whole lifetime, sometimes across many lives. When a person finally goes in to clean it, of course the stench is overwhelming. Rats, rot, broken things, things no one wanted to look at. That is what a season of crisis feels like from the inside: you are finally being forced to look at the things you had been putting off, and the looking is agonizing. The teaching is clear that this is not a sign you are failing. It is a sign the cleaning has begun. And a cleaned attic stays clean if you keep returning to it. The same is true of the soul.

Now I want to say something directly about the relationship choice and the humiliation, because this is the part of your post where you are most exposed, and I will not speak around it. You are 31. You have chosen to pursue a life with a woman 12 years older than you, and she has children. That is your choice to make. It is your agency. No tradition that respects the soul treats the heart as a matter for the approval of relatives, neighbors, or community elders. On the site's page for Astarte, Isis, and Aphrodite, the Goddess is described as the all-powerful force of the feminine: the emotion of love, power, and glory. The world has always had opinions about who may love whom. The Gods have a different standard. The humiliation you are enduring is not coming from the divine. It is coming from human beings who have decided that their discomfort is more important than your dignity. This reflects the kind of fundamental internal breakdown the article on Learning Respect and Freedom describes, and it is not yours to carry.

In Learning Respect and Freedom, the teaching addresses exactly this kind of situation: people who demand respect they do not give, who treat freedom as disorganization, who believe their own judgments are divine law. You are not required to submit to that. Ma'at, the Goddess of truth, order, and justice, stands for something else. She stands for the soul that refuses to accept humiliation as its just lot, that stands in its own truth even when the community tries to crush it. This does not mean burning bridges. It means refusing to be stripped of dignity in your own house, in your own relationships, and in your own mind. You can love the people who are wounding you and still set a boundary. You can honor your family and still decline to be a doormat. Conscious Communication, a teaching on the Library of Thoth, makes the point that poor communication lowers self-esteem, and that clear, articulate communication is a learnable skill, not a gift reserved for other people. Learning to say, calmly, "I will not be spoken to this way, and I will not continue this conversation until we can speak with respect," is a sentence that can change the atmosphere of a household over time. You do not need to deliver it perfectly. You only need to start.

Because the people around you are part of the wound, the path here becomes especially important. There Are No Mediators in Zevism makes a point that is easy to misread and worth understanding fully. The destination of the path is a direct, personal relationship with the Gods, free of priestly gatekeeping. But that destination is the end of the road, not the beginning. A beginner, especially one carrying as much as you are, needs community, guidance, and the accumulated wisdom of practitioners who have walked the path. You do not need anyone's permission to begin. You do not need to wait for the people who are humiliating you to approve. You can build a relationship with the Gods that belongs to you, that is yours, that no one in your family or social circle can take from you. That relationship becomes the floor you stand on while everything else is shaking.

Your Relation With the Gods and Communicating Properly addresses the fear about the future directly, and I want to share its core idea. The fear you feel when you look ahead is real, and it should be brought into the relationship with the Gods rather than carried alone. You are not being asked to pretend you are not scared. You are being asked to take the fear to the divine, to speak it honestly, and to let it be met. The teaching warns against the two opposite errors: the false promise that fear will vanish if you are spiritually correct, and the despair that says no divine response is possible because you are too broken to receive it. Neither is true.

Now, about a starter plan. I am going to keep this very small on purpose, because you are carrying a great deal, and a beginner's program must be something that can survive a terrible day. If I gave you a long list, you would not do it, and you would feel worse. So here are five small things, and any one of them is enough to count as a real beginning.

  1. For the body and the spirit at the same time. The article Starting Yoga (for Beginners) on the Library of Thoth is written for people who are stiff, tired, broke, and convinced they are not flexible enough. It is written for people exactly like you are right now. A yoga mat, a towel, or a carpeted floor. Twenty minutes. Even ten. The article says, rightly, that not being flexible is like saying you are too dirty to take a shower. Pair this with the Four Basic Levels of Spiritual Practice, which helps a beginner find their own type. The framework in that article can help you identify which type of practice suits you best right now, and the methods it recommends for body-based work, such as breathwork, body scan, and hatha, are exactly the kind of practice that stabilizes a person before anything subtle is attempted. Do not rush to advanced work. The bioelectricity and kundalini material is for later. Right now you need the floor under your feet.
  2. For the mind that will not stop circling. The article Journaling, Writing to Yourself on the Library of Thoth is one of the lowest-cost, highest-return things a person in crisis can do. A cheap notebook. A few minutes in the morning or before sleep. You do not have to write well. You write what is true. The teaching is that you cannot communicate with others if you cannot communicate with yourself, and writing is the bridge. Your thoughts will not disappear, but they will stop scattering, and you will begin to see the pattern in them, which is the first step toward changing the pattern.
  3. For the business. I will not pretend that spiritual practice will fix the business. It will not. The articles on Ma'at and the Life Ethics series give a framework: truth in your dealings, justice in your contracts, order in your accounts. The practical steps that flow from this are unglamorous and they work. Look at your books honestly this week. Not to despair, but to see. Identify the one expense that is bleeding you the most, and cut it or reduce it. Identify the one product, service, or client that is most reliably profitable, and give it more of your time. The goal of this week is not to fix the business. The goal is to take one truthful step, however small, and to feel the difference between drifting and steering. Ma'at is the principle that small, ordered, truthful actions accumulate into a kind of force that chaos cannot match.
  4. For the people who are stripping your dignity. You need a boundary, and you need it to be calm. You do not need to make a speech. You need a sentence or two, repeated as needed, in a steady voice. Something like:
    I have made a decision about my life that I am at peace with, and I will not discuss it this way again. If you can speak to me with respect, we can talk. If not, I will step away.
    You are not burning the relationship. You are refusing to be erased. The people who love you may not like it at first. The people who are using the relationship choice as a weapon will be furious. That is information, not a setback. I want to be clear that this wording is a starting point I am offering you, something you can adapt to your own voice and circumstances. It is not a fixed script handed down from the teaching, but a shape you can use while you find your own words.
  5. For the question of meaning. This is the deepest part of your post, and I do not want to brush past it. You asked to find meaning to life, and you asked for answers to your problems. The teaching in Eudaimonia: The End Goal of Zevism is that the meaning is not a destination you arrive at and then keep. It is the activity of a soul in accordance with virtue, lived out across a complete life. You are 31. You are at the beginning. The struggles you named, finances, fear, emotion, humiliation, are the very materials the path is made of. They are not signs that you are off the path. They are the path, in this season. The ancient teachers were clear that Eudaimonia, the flourishing of the soul, requires a complete life, and that no one, not even the most advanced practitioner, can judge the outcome while the race is still being run. You do not have to solve the meaning of life this month. You have to take the next step, and the next one, and to keep the soul pointed in the right direction. That is the whole of the work, and it is enough.

One more thing. The article My Life Journey to Our Gods, by High Priestess Lydia, is the testimony of a person who went through emptiness, searching, and a long stretch of feeling that something vital was missing, before the path opened. She is now where she is because she kept reaching. Your reaching right now is the same reaching. Do not be embarrassed by it. Do not let the people who are humiliating you convince you that you are the one who is broken because you asked for help and direction. You are not broken. You are at the beginning, and the beginning is sacred.

When you are ready, come back and tell us more. What kind of business are you running, in general terms. What does the household around you look like, who are the loudest voices against your choice, and what is the spiritual background, if any, that you were raised in. The more we know, the sharper the guidance can become. There is no rush. Take what I have written, pick one or two of the small practices, and start there. The attic does not get cleaned in a day. It gets cleaned by steady, honest work, done in the right order, and you are not late.

Welcome. You are not alone in this.

Hello sir.

I did my dedication ritual and also completed the 40 days meditation program, and I can't see improvements in my situation. Please is there something I'm not getting right
I wish luck and all the best in your endeavours. As well, never keep trying and maintain as much as you can, hope for the future.

We are where we are exactly at the time we should be.

This is a turning point for you and you can either to the sky, or hit rock bottom.

If you have a negative mindset, you' ll attract negative things.

If you a positive mindset then, eventually after some struggles, you will magnet positive things.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Keep calm and keep walking

You can read this latest post I made.


For you, focus on the sacral chakra, visualise an orange triangle shining in orange light and hold that for as long as you want, 30 minutes if you want. Overtime this will increase your sensitivity to energies.

You can also visualise runes shining in gold light for a period of time of your choice, the longer the better.

LOGR is good for increasing the sensitivity:


Visualise that letter shining in white-gold light and hold that in your mind. The better the visualisation and more you can make it shine the stronger the effects will be on improving your sensitivity.

This will increase your sensitivity over time.

Focus on one practice, rune or chakra, whichever you prefer and feel better results for.

Change your mindset. Maybe you were progressing while doing 40 day meditation program, but you were unaware of it. I read a book where says: "What we think about ourselves becomes our reality." Maybe the problem is that you just "think" you are not progressing. Start thinking more positive than negative.
 
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate.

Please how do I do the aura cleansing and maintaining a strong aura of protection like you counselled, I'm new here, don't really know much here.

Sorry to hear you are amidst challenging times. Sometimes this is when we learn the best lessons, purge what's been holding us down and step into a new chapter. I placed a link above, great place to start. Lots of beginner guidance on templeofzeus.org. ❤️
