Hope everybody is celebrating and doing the power ritual to Father Zeus.

It is a common misconception that Yuletide isn't part of traditional Chinese and Asian culture. I thought so myself, like many people thanks to the enemy hijacking of Asian religion. I found this out sometime in October, but in Ancient China, they actually celebrated Yuletide as well, as the "Dongzhi Festival" which falls from December 21-23, and from what I researched, it was actually one of the "major festivals" of the Ancient Chinese world, larger or as large as the contemporary Chinese or Lunar New Year, a holiday that I myself love.

The Dongzhi Festival definitely bears identical properties to the more-known Yuletide or "Xmas", regarding the mythology of Gods recording people's deeds, and either gifting them or punishing them accordingly.

It is a holiday connected to the Daoist religion, which is indeed Ancient East Asia's version of Zevism.

Although still minor observed, sadly today it isn't as big.

HAIL ZEUS/Fuxi and Happy Yuletide / Dongzhi!

After getting a response from HPZM on this matter via DM, I regret to inform the Zevism that the Dongzhi Festival, while it is a Chinese Winter Solstice festival, has no connections to our Yule, though in my opinion, I don't see much problems in integrating Dongzhi traditions in your personal Yule celebrations, if you're Chinese or Asian so long as you're not worshiping made-up Gods.

HPZM's response on this matter:
----------------------------------------------------------
People have their cultural norms, these are not always decided by the Gods. In fact, in most cases they are not; people make things up as part of their culture.

Yes, this is brutal, but because it's an accumulated cultural tenet, it sometimes happens. I do not like this at all either.

May the Gods always keep you blessed,

This is a reminder to always do further research on a topic but also proof that no spiritual journey is "perfect" and that it is bound to be filled with what I call "false discoveries".

As I recall, Ayaz Ata was once thought-of as Tengrism's adaption of Father Zeus, I thought Ayaz Ata was Satan at first, but he in reality -isn't a Tengrist Deity, but a fabrication made up by the Soviets, at least according to the Turkish Zevism.
