The Gods How to make the transition from JoS to ToZ (the reason is my low activity)

[Slavic]

Hello everyone.

I haven't been here for a while. I only participated in the schedules for the Gods. For the past few days, I've been observing all the changes that have taken place regarding the Temple of Zeus. I have a very quick question. How can I re-understand and re-enter this? Should I start reading and analyzing new pages and materials? Everything is different, but I think it's more developmental. Thank you, greetings to everyone, and praise be to our Gods.

Welcome back. There are some basic things you should know, after which materials will make more sense. ToZ was officially founded as a religious organization, under the name Temple of Zeus. It broke away from the purely social group that was known before, and from conversation subjects of the times, which were never part of a religious space. It compiled all spiritually correct notions (several doctrines, properly systematized), and more information was revealed about our Head God as well.

You could study, at your own pace:
The Section dedicated to Father Zeus
The Doctrines Section - it also has the recent Declarations at the bottom
The Pathology of Yehuborim (as a start. All Liturgical Terms, Cures and Pathologies, should be read)

Thank you for being open about the new changes- some people have not been this way. What Asra suggested to do is great. On top of this I suggest doing the God ritual to Father Zeus and letting his energy sooth and ground you as you make your way thru the site. Connecting with the Gods will help give you the anchor needed in case you come across a part of the TOZ site that makes you doubt or wonder what is going on with the HP's- we have had several of those cases.
Then after reading the pages that Asra has suggested I highly recommend just going thru the site from top to bottom as a lot of things have been updated with new info including the meditations.
Happy reading!

Hail our wonderful Father Zeus

How can I re-understand and re-enter this?

Yes.

Not much more to say, really. There are a lot of beautiful changes, and if you take them in with an open approach, you'll see how beneficial and productive they can be.

In the main site, under "Our Ethics" and "Liturgical Terms", you will also find 18 new Prayers that are incredibly potent. They will help you understand a much clearer picture of "our side" and what "the Enemy" always was.

As for "S-atanism", well, this one should come as no surprise. Our community, even before its institutional foundation, always stated that there has simply been a vilifying of the Ancient Gods, and now the front-and-center identities are the proper ones. Each God Ritual in ToZRituals has not only been updated with far stronger invocatory tools, but has also had a "Goetic clarification" added, which will, with each Ritual done, help put the "demonic" faces of the Gods into full context for you. In the main site, you'll also find the Names of Zeus, these are great to study as well.

The Family of Zeus and the Advanced Zevist Philosophy sections of the site are an absolute treat to read, and you'll likely need to take your time with them.

New meditations were added, including an entirely separate Awareness Meditations section, which adds an entire new layer to our practice that, while present in bits and pieces if one was diligent enough to construct it, is now right in front of your eyes in a comprehensive way, with a plethora of new techniques to master.

I hope you have a great time here. Do look up the "Vultus Templorum Platform" as well, it's a new group where you can chat in a much more convenient way, and where Group Rituals and other activities are done.
