10 New Rituals: Cthonic Gods - Sept 24 to Oct 18, 2026

THE NEW CHTHONIC RITUAL SCHEDULE
By High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Beloved Zevists, I announce a twenty-day Ritual schedule; in honour of the Great Chthonic Gods, from 24 September through 18 October 2026. We shall undertake one of the ten new rituals every second day. The days between them are for stillness, reflection, and gratitude; the final day, 13 October, is kept for thanksgiving. We begin with Nyx and proceed through Thanatos, Charon, Phobos, Deimos, Eris, the Erinyes and Eumenides, Kronos in his blessed reign, Styx, and Melinoe. Each holds a distinct office in the divine order, and each deserves the fullness of our attention.

Be the rule of this cycle. We approach these Great Powers in a friendly and most venerating manner, with gratitude for their divinity and respect for their depth. They are Gods, never playthings. By the blessing of the Gods, sincere Zevists honour may be received with goodwill, and these Powers may grant help, steadiness, courage, and insight to those who approach them rightly. They can help you master what these forces represent: Fear of Death, Discord, fear of the Dark and so forth.

In many "Grimoires", these Gods here were vilified merely because humans were afraid. As far as Zevists are concerned, the Order of the Gods is not disputed by them: they serve their Divine Order.

No Zevist need to feel terror before the chthonic realm. A composed heart and an honourable prayer are needed; not fear.

NOTICE: These rites are for adults. Children and teenagers must not perform them, and pregnant women should not perform them.

Read each ritual fully, follow its instructions with care, and allow the intervening day its proper quiet. May Zeus bless this observance, and may the Great Chthonic Gods receive our devotion in friendship and honour.

NOTICE 2: One can combine any of these Rituals with the [Link] Ritual of Hades. Hades is the God who rules the underworld.
