THE NEW CHTHONIC RITUAL SCHEDULE
By High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Beloved Zevists, Happy Equinox to all and may the upcoming winter and cold season be good for all.

I announce a twenty-day Ritual schedule; in honour of the Great Chthonic Gods, from 24 September through 18 October 2026. We shall undertake one of the ten new rituals every second day. The days between them are for stillness, reflection, and gratitude; the final day, 13 October, is kept for thanksgiving. We begin with Nyx and proceed through Thanatos, Charon, Phobos, Deimos, Eris, the Erinyes and Eumenides, Kronos in his blessed reign, Styx, and Melinoe. Each holds a distinct office in the divine order, and each deserves the fullness of our attention.

Be the rule of this cycle. We approach these Great Powers in a friendly and most venerating manner, with gratitude for their divinity and respect for their depth. They are Gods, never playthings. By the blessing of the Gods, sincere Zevists honour may be received with goodwill, and these Powers may grant help, steadiness, courage, and insight to those who approach them rightly. They can help you master what these forces represent: Fear of Death, Discord, fear of the Dark and so forth.

In many "Grimoires", these Gods here were vilified merely because humans were afraid. As far as Zevists are concerned, the Order of the Gods is not disputed by them: they serve their Divine Order.

No Zevist need to feel terror before the chthonic realm. A composed heart and an honourable prayer are needed; not fear.

NOTICE: These rites are for adults. Children and teenagers must not perform them, and pregnant women should not perform them.

Read each ritual fully, follow its instructions with care, and allow the intervening day its proper quiet. May Zeus bless this observance, and may the Great Chthonic Gods receive our devotion in friendship and honour.

NOTICE 2: One can combine any of these Rituals with the [Link] Ritual of HadesExternal ↗. Hades is the God who rules the underworld.

Thank you very much, High Priest, for this new astounding schedule.

I took a look at the Rituals and they conveyed a great sense of reverence and magnificence to me.

My previous nickname (SaqqaraNox) contained the name Nox, the name of the Roman Goddess, equivalent to the Greek Nyx, whom I have always admired and felt drawn to. I was very pleased to see that the Ritual that opens this new program is hers. I will lead the Ritual, and being able to honour her in this way, together with the other Chthonic Deities, is deeply moving to me.

You will notice in the Ritual of Nyx (Nox), there are no vibration. Only Prayer and Invocation. Because of her precise nature; silent.

I spent some time meditating on the sigils of Lady Nyx and Lord Thanatos out of curiosity to become more familiar with their energies, and I realized one thing. The Chthonic Gods are neither frightening nor evil. They love us just as much as the Ouranic Gods do, but because of the forces and nature they represent, I think they should be approached with a little more discernment and caution, in the same spirit of respect rather than fear that the High Priest mentioned.

I don’t know if this is the best analogy, but I see it somewhat like the difference between eating a chicken fillet and eating fish. With fish, you simply need to be more careful because of the bones. That doesn’t mean that fish is bad or something to be afraid of. It simply requires a little more attention.

I also came to the conclusion that what I would call this irrational fear of these Gods, which, as the High Priest mentioned, led to their vilification in many grimoires, is in my view one of the reasons humanity has ended up in this sad and pitiful state as it is today.

My soul is filled with immense joy just reading the names of these Gods. I have always felt a connection to this kind of energy, and I have never been able to find anything that compares to it... until now.

Thank you, HPZM; it will be an honor to perform the rituals and pay tribute to these great Gods.

For some reasons I am happy as well Novice Guardian, It's as if I had the chance and opportunity to reunite with my long lost parents/family, whom I haven't seen in a very, very long time.

Thank You a lot, High Priest Zevios Metathronos!

I've been thinking these past few weeks about the Lord Deimos and Lord Phobos, and trying to understand how I can reach out to Them, and at the same time You gave us yet another Gift in the form of these wonderful Rituals.

Thank You again, Dear High Priest.

Thank you High Priest for those new rituals. I feel a calm feeling but also something deeper that I cannot explain yet.

#19

I have always felt myself more drawn to the night than the day, and to the darker aspects of things in general. In this sense, it's a wonderful feeling to see this side of existence given its proper honour. I know there are many who feel that way. Quite fittingly also, this schedule will lead us not too far from holy Samhain.

A great thanks to our High Priest Zevios Metathronos. Our pace this year has been like nothing else, and I would not wish for it to be any other way.

Hail to all the great Cthonic Gods and Goddesses!
