This started as a reply in the Fitness chat, but I didn't post as it derails too much:

I have martial artists and boxers in my family, and another Zevist wrote a while ago with the same agreement as in my family: with martial arts, you need to train for many years to be able to defend yourself; whereas with boxing, only 3 months.

So as an art form, yes martial arts is "better", but many men would benefit more from boxing and enjoy it more.

^This is a general statement, I'm not going to talk about self-defense for women, because it's not healthy for most of us to be in a martial mindset and always worrying about being attacked (it inhibits natural growth and expression of femininity). So yes all women probably should know some basics, but the world needs to change to get these invaders out of our lands, and laws need to change to allow for much harsher punishments for those who harm us. Look at all the hardcore feminists who act masculine; this world is currently not conducive for delicate femininity.

Polls will be made by SG Voice of Enki, to determine when we will lead rituals in our Temple chat platform. They will be posted in the main subforum. You can vote for the time you prefer to do a group ritual, and the SGs and myself will determine what times we will lead them, based on our daily schedule and the popularity of each time by the members.

Members, please be advised that pornographic profile pictures will be removed. We have children using these forums. Look elsewhere on the internet if you want to see those pictures or make it your desktop background, don't bring them here or they will be deleted.

Mercury square can be started today, or the next 2 Wednesdays. And don't forget about Jupiter squares!

From my reply in Fitness chat in VT platform:

Skimming through this chat, someone mentioned spells for fitness. Get Carnelian stone, it helps with muscle and increasing oxygen and blood flow, helps with muscle coordination for working out and sports. Bloodstone (Heliotrope) helps too. You can put it in a sachet with a cinnamon stick, program it with red energy (or gold if you're not good with colors) and affirm that it helps with your goals, such as strength increase, muscle increase, muscular coordination or whatever your goal is.
‎
Before your workout, affirm with red (or gold) energy to your goal (muscle gain, whatever, make sure to have "healthy and beneficial" in it).
‎
After your workout, you can use Heliotrope/Bloostone crystal as it helps with recovery.

Lady Pythia's Day is on August 30. Let's go through the forums and rate up as many of her posts as we can. Her current reaction score is only 414 [as of some hours ago when I posted this in VT platform], and considering she has made 4731 posts, that's way too low for our Founder. Let's try to get her profile to a reaction score of 5000 by August 30.
‎
If you're short on time you don't have to read all her posts, but it will do you well to read them. I am looking forward to re-reading them myself :)

Some of us in Safe Space VT platform have been working on this today, and we brought up her reaction score to over 4000 already! We now have a new goal, to put her profile in the Top 5, or even ahead of me into 2nd place.

Update: We completed the first goal! She is now at more than 5000 reaction score, and her profile is now in 10th place. Update, 7th place.

Update: We've put her profile into 5th place!

My reply from a question in VT platform regarding gluttony:

Find the reason, ask yourself while in deep meditation or before going to sleep. Could be you were malnourished in past life, a lot of people were, and now we have supermarkets and easy access to all foods year found so people go overboard. Pendulum swings until balance is achieved.
‎
Gluttony has a few different causes depending on the individual. Could also be your body trying to get more prana, depleted somehow, so a way to fix this (if it is the issue) is by doing more pranyama.
‎
Lack of self-care also causes a tendency to overeat as compensation, nourishing the body (in the bad sense) when there is a lack of nourishing the Self.
‎
Regardless of what the cause is for you specifically, doing more meditation, cleaning chakras, and paying attention to yourself more will go a long way.

Today is Witches Sabbat for purification. As it's a Full Moon you can do extra cleaning just for today, then begin a 7/14/21/etc day cycle 2 weeks from now, the New Moon Witches Sabbat.
‎
And before anyone asks, it's fine that the Moon is Void. VoC Moon does not affect purification.

I am still locked out of Revolt, but I will be doing the ritual for Narberius at my usual time today (12 UTC+0). So if any of you want to do it then, know that I am also participating. [Edit: I now have access again to my account.]

And here is the most excellent article about Naberius by TG Karnonnos:

"Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity. It is not always obvious when and where to take action. Some people spend their entire lives waiting for the time to be right to make an improvement."

The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.
-Thucydides

Some important dates for magickal workings coming up:

-This Wednesday and next, Mercury square can be done

-Fridays from June 6 to July 4, Venus square

-June 11 is a Full Moon in Sagittarius with Jupiter strong in Cancer. This is a great opportunity to do white magick, anything having to do with good luck, opportunities, accomplishing something major, money workings, gambling.

-Jupiter squares can be done!!! Starting June 12 until November 11. A total of 8 squares can be done.

Thanks to TG Alexandros for my new profile picture :)

For those of you who are willing to risk it, this coming Saturday is the last chance for a Saturn square for a few years. The next Saturday it's still in Pisces but enters its detriment sign a few hours later. Edit: Saturn will re-enter Pisces later this year, so its square can be done again from November 29 for a few months.

As it's in Pisces, don't focus on "Saturn in Pisces" energy, just focus on Saturn and know that's it's at mid-level power.

I did one over a month ago and it really helped me in an unexpected way.

However, bear in mind that this square can cause problems. Ask your GD if it's something that will benefit you, and make sure to have the phrase "in healthy and beneficial ways for me" in your affirmation.

Your new profile photo seems so good.

Happy Beltane! Here's my post from last year with information on what you can do today: https://ancient-forums.com/threads/happy-beltane-hail-zeus.96070/

Toz Rituals is currently down, it will be back up soon.

Everyone should save the rituals for offline use. They can all be saved and will work perfectly in case the website ever goes down again. The Shenu rings are included, along with the ability to change the size of the Shenu.

When the site goes back up, make a folder on your computer or phone, and save them all in there. Just right-click anywhere on the page or press-and-hold on the screen on your phone, and save it as "webpage, complete" (this is probably the default anyway).

There will be sub-folders listed alphabetically. Ignore these folders, scroll down below them and open the ritual from the webpage icon.

Element isn't loading for me. I will be doing the Grand Ritual for Zeus in 49 minutes regardless, if anyone else wants to do it at my usual time with me even if not in Element. I'll try loading it again periodically until then.

Edit: It is now loading :)

Dates for money workings for the next few months:

This Sunday before the VoC, Full Moon in Libra, Venus strong in Pisces, Sun strong in Aries.

April 27/28, New Moon just beginning to wax in Taurus, Venus strong in Pisces.

May 4, waxing Moon in Leo.

May 30, waxing Moon in Leo (after the VoC).
