THE NEW CHTHONIC RITUAL SCHEDULE
By High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Beloved Zevists, Happy Equinox to all and may the upcoming winter and cold season be good for all.

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, 18 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.

You wrote: WARNING - Thanatos rules death. Is this ritual dangerous for some people here? What can happen?

The Ritual albeit designed in the most respectful manner, one must be aware. They are facing the Great God of Death.

When one goes to this, they must be respectful and prostrated. Not ego and quarelsome situations. Fear might arise and other feelings such as Thanatophobia.

One must revere the God and understand what great glory they can approach. For Death is holy.

Thank you very much High Priest Zevios Metathronos!🙏

«You will find on the left of the halls of Hades a spring, and standing by it a white cypress. Do not approach this spring at all. You will find another, from the Lake of Memory, with cold water flowing from it. Guardians stand before it. Say: 'I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone. You know this yourselves. I am parched with thirst and am perishing. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.' And they will give you to drink from the sacred spring, and after that you will reign among the other heroes» - From the Petelia Tablet (300-200 BCE)

Thank you for this ritual schedule High Priest Zevios Metathronos!

I wanted to say that I strangely felt a deep connection and peace while doing Lord Thanatos ritual, I feel as if I've met him and talked with him before, it feels rather comforting, it's honestly beautiful!!

After this schedule, are we allowed to do these rituals or a specific chosen ritual again or would it be advised against? Thanks!

Really liking these new rituals. Thank you High Priest for releasing these for us. May I ask if there will also be a ritual for Erebus?

I was wondering, is Atum (Zeus) also Chaos from Hesiod’s Theogony?

A little patience on the Golden Book on these matters. All answered there.

The mind and soul will have a whole universe for exploration soon. It's all within you, and within this Work.

This is the targeted message.

Just to clarify, I found out that I am apparently still a little too young to perform these Rituals. I am instead doing a personal schedule that I have been waiting for an opportune time to do. (I am writing this in case anyone thinks I am just being lazy and not showing up)

I just finished the ritual of Charon with a group of members in VT. This ritual brought peace to my heart.

Thank you dearly, High Priest Zevios Metathronos for these beautiful and sacred rituals 🙏

I've been utterly terrified to continue the rituals, and I'm still finding my way forward.

The haunting experiences are keep coming last night a spider came right into my room, (physically!) close enough that I could see it. Next moment it jumped and hid away

And then I did what I think is the bravest thing I have ever done in my life. I looked at my greatest fear and said, 'Fair enough.' I turned off the light, and I slept in the same room with it.

That night I felt a web forming in my throat, a strange taste, and when I looked inward, I saw a great spider within me. I almost cried. It felt like something was devouring me from the inside. Today I still feel it there. But I'm taking it slow. I'm doing small things that might help. I'm finding my courage again, one gentle step at a time.

And this is how you will overcome a bit these fears. Then, you will be free. That the first contact with the dread and fear will be seen later, as nothing to fear.

Keep going! Good job!

If we miss a day, is it alright to do a make-up the next day, or should we simply do the next ritual as normal?
