My family is Muslim, and of course my freedom is taken from me. I won't regain it unless I marry a good person, and I can't stand living with them like this. I want a solution that will allow me to have my freedom—a charm or something like that. Please, I don't want advice like "get a job and leave home"...that won't work here. I don't want solutions that won't work; I want a spell or something like that. Also, having my family with me like this prevents me from performing the rituals. So even doing the rituals that help me a little, I can't do.

Hi, Lina. I want to be steady with you, and honest. The pain you are describing is real, and I am not going to lecture you about Islam, dismiss your family, or call this a phase. Living under a controlling household where you have no privacy for your own spiritual life is serious, and the Temple of Zeus takes that kind of pressure seriously.
What theurgy actually is, in the Zevist tradition, is prayer, offerings, and meditation with the Gods for strength, wisdom, patience, discernment, lawful autonomy, and protection. There is no "freedom charm" in the public Temple corpus, no spell that unlocks a household, no working that overrides a parent's authority over an adult, and no working that compels a specific person to marry you. The Gods can and do change the direction of a life, but the change comes through a real, sustained relationship with Them, and through you also doing your part over time. High Priest Zevios Metathronos is clear on this in Help From The Gods: Changing CourseExternal ↗ and Magick, Meditation & Your DestinyExternal ↗: meditation works through cause and effect, internal rebalancing, and time, not as a switch that overrides reality.
That is actually good news for you, because the obstacle you mentioned, your family watching and stopping you from doing rituals, does not have to stop your practice. The Prayer to Zeus for ProtectionExternal ↗ is explicit that it may be spoken alone, in silence, with no candles, no ceremony, no props. You can say it in your head on your bed, in a hallway, anywhere no one is looking. That alone is a real starting point tonight.
Pair it with the Aura of ProtectionExternal ↗ meditation. It is a short breathing-plus-visualization practice that does not require trance or elaborate setup, and once you have practiced it, you can do it in a quiet minute almost anywhere. Think of it like training a muscle that has been bound for years: the first weeks feel like nothing is happening, then the strength shows up where you need it. The breath work underneath it is the Foundation MeditationExternal ↗, and the larger framework is Power MeditationExternal ↗, which the Temple treats as the foundation of every other practice. None of it requires being seen.
For your specific background, there is a page written for exactly your situation. High Priest Zevios authored Freeing The Mind From Christianity & Islam: A Mandatory StepExternal ↗. It is structured inner work, hypnosis and catharsis, that loosens the grip of fear, guilt, and worthlessness the system put in you. Treat it as a serious long project. The same High Priest also wrote About Our Parents, Healing Parental ProblemsExternal ↗, the closest match in the Library of Thoth to the dynamic you are living under. Read it alongside The Heroic Path: Learning To Stand StrongExternal ↗. Together they reframe what you are going through, from a story about being trapped into a passage you can walk with the Gods at your shoulder, instead of something a single spell fixes for you.
For patrons to pray to and grow closer to, here is who fits your life. Zeus is the Father and King, the one who rights wrongs and protects the oppressed. powerExternal ↗-ritual]Athena, the virgin warrior who belongs to no man and thinks for herself, is invoked in the Athena Power RitualExternal ↗ as "the Champion" and "owl-eyed strategist," a fitting image for a young woman who needs wisdom, courage, and lawful autonomy. LilithExternal ↗, named on the LilithExternal ↗ page as the liberator of women and patron of strong women, has her own Lilith Power RitualExternal ↗ you can do as devotion. Hera and AstarteExternal ↗ are the patrons of marriage in due time, not of forced marriage now. Approach Them as objects of prayer, asking for a worthy companion when the time is right, not as spell-casters against anyone's will.
On marriage specifically, I want to be straight with you. There is no Temple working that produces a specific husband for you or that forces a marriage so you can leave home, and that path would be the wrong one anyway, because it would hand your freedom to another person instead of building it inside you. The proper way the Temple teaches this is discernment over time, sustained devotion to the appropriate Gods, Marriage & Baptism in Zevism: About LoveExternal ↗, and using the Astrological Astrology IndexExternal ↗ to read timing and suitability when a real candidate appears. That work happens after you have inner strength, not before.
One step tonight. The Prayer to Zeus for ProtectionExternal ↗, in silence, on your bed, eyes closed. Build from there, day by day, and the direction will shift. The Gods keep their word when you keep yours.

From a young age, I never belonged to their religion at all, and I don't feel guilty about leaving it because I never felt any connection to it in the first place. I always felt I belonged to Lucifer
Even at night, in your room, when you have a modicum of privacy, when everyone is asleep, you can perform a ritual. I think there's always a way. If you can perform a ritual, you should do this:
You can vibrate the ISA rune and make an affirmation in the present tense, such as: "My family is bound and unable to harm me."
https://templeofzeus.org/Odin.php#ISAExternal ↗
Then you can vibrate the Algiz rune
https://templeofzeus.org/Odin.php#ALGIZExternal ↗
And affirm: "I am completely protected from any adversity," or you can create your own affirmations.
If you really can't perform rituals, I recommend that when you go to sleep, you pray only mentally and visualize the sigil of Zeus to ask for help and focus on him.
How many times do I vibrate the rune and how many times do I emphasize it for it to work?
lina_3009 wrote:View source How many times do I vibrate the rune and how many times do I emphasize it for it to work?
Just look at the number of the rune, the ISA rune must be vibrated 11 times or a multiple of 11, but if you are not very advanced, do a few vibrations, the important thing is that they are constant and daily, followed by the affirmation, it is recommended to affirm 9 times.
Under the assumption you have your room to yourself, there are many things you can do quietly. Words of Power don't need to be vibrated loud to work. If you're limited by sound, the Runes can even be whispered. That, paired with intense intention and focus, is enough. Plus, Hatha Yoga is done in silence, too. (builds power)
The awareness meditations, along with the above, can seriously evolve and advance someone.
Aside from an AOP, you can use the Rune ANSUZ to remove all constraints to your freedom of religious expression, in the best way for you, spiritually and materially (very important here). You will have to repeat this for 40, 80, 90, or even 120 days, perhaps even 6 40-day cycles.
This is only a suggestion.
You mentioned that marriage can help. Venus is in Libra right now, making it a good time to attract a partner that is ideal for you. A square can be done, or even just using the Venus mantra, SHUKRAYA.
Most of the basics (aura cleaning, aura of protection, foundation mediation, void meditation, yoga, chakra spinning, etc.) can be done in complete silence. You can also whisper vibrations, although the energy is not quite as powerful. I can relate to being anxious about practicing spirituality in the presence of an Abrahamic family. Trust me when I say that you if you truly examine your day and look for opportunities to meditate, you will find them. The people who are telling you things like "seek a career" etc. aren't saying that to make you feel bad, they're trying to open up opportunities for you. Sort of like how in chess you have to develop the pawns to allow the more powerful pieces to have influence over the board.
There's no magic spell to instantly sever all ties with your family. If they pose a threat to you, you can perform a runic working with Isa, since Isa is a binding rune and can prevent others from harming you. A consistent aura of protection would be paramount for you at this time. You can supplement your AoP with Berkano at night. While your AoP defends you, you can take action by praying to Zeus every day. I'd strongly recommend this. Don't be afraid to tell him how you're feeling and open yourself up to his energy. Feel the warmth and weight of his attention upon you. Focus on developing your financial understanding, communication & negotiation skills, soft skills, etc. These things will help you achieve freedom quicker, especially if you are still young.
Im going to let Clergy answer this more in depth, but to my understanding, performing a spell, requires you do the groundwork first. If you cannot go thru the beginner steps to properly prepare yourself to direct energy in this way, it can be dangerous for you. I say this out of understanding, acknowledgement and concern for your safety and situation.
Do you have no time alone at all? If you do not have time alone away at school or a job, what about out on walks, shower, bathroom, where you can study, listen to sermons, quietly vibrate runes....or anything?
Have you initiated? Do you know who your Guardian is?
I know Clergy will have more guidance on this, and wouldn't want you to miss out on a lifetime with the Gods because of family pressure. I am hoping a reasonable path presents itself to you. I am sorry you are not free to choose you lifes path in this way. 🙏 we welcome you Lina
I used to meditate, and my spiritual guide would speak to me and appear to me, but I kept denying it, thinking it was just my mind's trick. Only recently did I understand that it wasn't a trick of my mind, and that it was indeed my spiritual guide whom I saw and spoke to. I also used to pray to Zeus, but it was a prayer I performed myself, and he answered me several times, though not regarding my freedom from my family. Unfortunately, I stop praying regularly; I'm not consistent. As for my meditations, I'm progressing without putting in the same effort as others. But unfortunately, what I focus on most is my freedom because my family—you can't imagine how they don't give me freedom in the simplest things and create problems. Damn Islam
Lead TranslatorIf you have no privacy, do your dedication/ meditation/workings in a astral temple:
Hello, I am sorry about your situation. So that I understand, you live under a repressive Islamic government as well? Which prevents women from being in the workforce, etc?
Magic is effective but it works through the real world and our personal capacities. One of the ways it operates is that it can show us paths to what we need that is realistically possible for us. It can also grow our inner potential. The spiritual works alongside our material world actions to attain what we want.
Active TranslatorHello, Sister. I am very sorry you are going through this situation.
The other Brothers and Sisters gave you very good suggestions, and it's important to remember that many meditations can be done in whisper or even "in your head" (visualization, breathing in energy, etc; these things help build power, which you can then use with an affirmation for your goal).
I also wonder, do you have a very trusted friend (man) who dislikes Islam and wants to get out of your county? Is it possible to arrange to get married with this person, move to another country, and then file a divorce when you get there?
Even if you initially depend on him financially, many foreign countries (especially in Europe) help foreigners, and there are laws and constitutions for helping women.
As I understand, the problem isn't just your family, but your country, too. The only solution is to move out. If the only way to do that is by getting married (with someone who also wants to move out of the country), it is best to focus your spiritual power on this goal. This period of time, you can do the Venus square for love (to at least attract someone who will treat you with respect and kindness), but I personally suggest to talk to Lady Astarte, too. She can help you in this matter.
Have faith, Sister. Be strong. Take one step at a time, and always trust in the Gods. There are Zevists who have escaped unscathed from situations that were certain death. What's important is that you do whatever you can in the little privacy that you have, and pray to the Gods and ask them for guidance. Be open to signs.
