Update 24 Sept 2026: Necromantic Rites have been released.

Updated The Afterlife & DeathExternal ↗ — Necromancy & Direct Experience rites and guidance added.

ORIGINAL POST Sept 23 2026:

Greetings everyone,

As it's stated in the Temple of Zeus, there is a Chtonic or a Dark Side to the Divine. This darkness far exceeds all that "left hand path" understands, and it goes all the way down to the underworld and the epitome of darkness, death and dissolution.

Many people in particular because they like fancy labels, a starbuck coffee, and to pretend they are dark, they adopt it as a style. In general however, the real darkness, extends far below the threshold of human expectations.

In Zevism, to be fair and balance between the Light and the Darkness, we are therefore, going to release the other side of this: The Cthonic Gods. The Cthonic Gods and Beings, are essentially "primordials". They are in charge of death, punishment, rage, and all of these things which make the darkness be dark.

Make no mistake, this is not Izfet. Darkness is not the agency of Izfet; darkness and all these are powers in the service of Zeus and the Gods. It's the realm of transformation, descent, and what lies "below the earth". Izfet is categorically a disorder. The darkness, has as much order as the light or the heavenly realm.

In a few days, new Rituals [approximately 12] will be released on these. You will find in these no Divine Names or incantations, as these forces are simply way too dark. As Zevists we must venerate the darkness and the Cthonic Powers, because they encompass a great part of life.

With the advent of the Yehuboric cults, the "Light and Darkness" were separated. In the reality of the cosmos, the light and the dark, work and operate as Yin Yang, as parts of the whole: Life and Death, Wisdom and Ignorance, Left and Right. There is no separation here. Each person by alignment, will feel an affinity to either side; yet both these sides are under Zeus and the Gods.

The Tripartite Nature of Zeus is this: Zeus [Heavenly], Poseidon [World of Idols, our world], Hades [Underworld domain]. The Underworld, also called as Hel, is where all the dark and most fearsome things lie. But for the Zevist, there is nothing to fear; same as death. Zevists must be become spiritually and psychologically proficient, to be able to embark in both paths.

Ultimately, the Path of Theophoros, will require you to master the light and darkness. Darkness, is not "evil". Darkness when used for Theophoric purposes, is necessary. Zeus and the Gods set order in the cosmos by these forces and their reason encompasses both life and death, existence and the beyond.

Lastly, before anyone is alarmed: Funerals fall under Necromantic arts. The Necromancer as people imagine them is not a person obsessed with death; it's a person who has mastered the arts of beyond to communicate with the dead and the "dead" are the beings which lie beyond our dimension in the "underworld" or the lower astral domains.

Albeit this should not be the main focus of a Theophorically Oriented Zevist, the situation is that Zevists must be proficient in the dark arts, as much as the arts of the light. One cannot hope to bring light in the world, if they have no knowledge, awareness and perception of death, resurrection, dissolution, purification and the flow of descent.

Destruction is important to create some perfection.

I known if you love too much something you hate too much its opposite.

I have to admit, I am not very excited about the idea. 😶

Of course, I will participate in all the days of the schedule, but the concept makes me feel uncomfortable.

We will add disclaimers on the Rituals, because these Rituals are focused on veneration, but they can cause in weaker personalities a sense of dread, fear or related effects.

Thank you so much High Priest Zevios Metathronos for all your work! It is an amazing blessing to be receiving new Rituals pertaining to such a critically important aspect of reality 🙏🔥 I have always been incredibly fascinated by how the ancients regarded death and necromancy, the great Gods and entities who preside over this aspect, our experience as mortals and with mortality, especially ancient Egyptian magic and understanding.

We all will approach the beyond, we must in knowledge.

#26

Thanks for opening the doors of the underworld to us, Metathronos! I’m looking forward to the rituals.

Thank you very much High Priest Zevios Metathronos👍️

This is amazing news😍

I'm looking forward to this update🖤

Since childhood, I have felt a love for Darkness and the Underworld, but not for Necromancy - communication with dead people.

In my childhood, the forces of the Underworld - the Gods and Demons of the Underworld - i have always represented the Forces of Protection and Restoration of Justice on Earth, in punishing powerful bad people who consciously oppose Maat, while I have never felt a craving for what mortal people call Death. In my childhood imagination, it felt like the Underworld and its powerful inhabitants were always associated with Immortality before reincarnation and the beginning of a new life.

@High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Hello HP.

When is it just darkness and when does it become a disorder? Can darkness cause this disorder?

If so, then if they are two counter parts, can the light cause disorders too? Or is it only too much darkness can cause disorder.

Also, what can be the benefits of doing these rituals? The benefits of doing God rituals are obvious, but what would I get out of doing the Cthonic rituals? Can they help in mastering as you’ve mentioned “the dark arts”?

Thank you HP.

Beautiful news, thank you High Priest.

#32

I’m actually very excited and pleased to hear this, and it confirms what I had through rational thought on this path theorized for a long time that such darkness is not evil and itself is a tool in the hands of the Gods and has always been the other half of the equation. Like father Zevs once said “Darkness is Light, inside out.”

I’ve always been fascinated in the idea of darkness and the wielding of it in service of Light and Justice.

I’m curious and optimistic to see how the performance of these rituals will change things within us and in the world outside us.

Will we have a schedule for these?

#33

I have a feeling these rituals are gonna change the game so to speak in unprecedented ways for us.

I’m not sure how but what keeps coming to mind is that with these rituals the spiritual “find out” phase is gonna be full swing as it were for those who tried to “f*** around” the Gods and our people.

Really looking forward to the new rituals. I know that technically all the Gods have a cthonic or dark side to them, but out of the God rituals that have been released thus far, which would you recommend for someone with particular interest?

The Necromantic Rites are phenomenally detailed and thorough; I can already tell they are going to be very effective. Releasing them at the same time as the Chthonic God Rituals is a great gift. Thank you for putting these together. Be blessed, High Priest Zevios!
