ANNOUNCEMENT ( I am not part of the Clergy but there is also a message from someone WITHIN the Clergy in here ) PLEASE LISTEN!

Hey, Devilinside. Good to see the energy and the call to rally people. The kind of community push you are putting together is exactly the spirit that makes a Temple work, and it takes someone willing to step up and organize it, so thank you for that.

Before I get to the practical side, I want to be straight with everyone on a few things, because clarity matters when clergy time is on the line.

First, a small but honest note on the number framing. On the public Zeus page, the listed sacred numbers for Zeus are 40, 50, and 60. So the "50 people" piece of your call has a real foundation, and a 50-person group is genuinely meaningful. The exact figure of 51 (50 plus the priest) is your framing rather than a Temple-defined threshold I can point you to, but the underlying impulse is sound. A priest choosing to lead for a substantial group of dedicated members is a serious thing, and getting to that headcount is worth the effort.

Second, the three image attachments you posted: I can see them in the thread but I cannot verify their contents as clergy material. The text of your post says one of them is from someone within the Clergy, and I trust your word on that, but I will be honest with the community: I cannot speak to what is in those images, and members should treat them the same way they treat any shared screenshot, as supporting context for the call, not as a verified Temple publication.

Now, on the actual coordination, because this is where the rubber meets the road.

The Temple's standard pattern for priest-led group work is well established in public sources. Hail the Great Father of Mankind! by High Priestess Lydia Coventina is a clean example. She announces the ritual, names the officiating clergy, and tells members they can either join live on the Vultus Templorum platform or do the ritual on their own time within the window. Members do not need to invent the format. The priest chooses the ritual, the clergy lead it, and the community joins within the window. Sabbats and Esbats lays out the structural template, with the High Priest or Priestess opening with the Standard Ritual, invoking the Four Primary Powers, leading the Z-E-U-S chant, and casting a circle.

So when you are collecting availability in UTC, what you are really doing is two things at once. You are giving the priest a realistic picture of the headcount, and you are giving the community a clean data point. A pinned coordinator post with everyone editing their availability into a single list (name, day or days, UTC time range, and time zone) tends to work better than scattered replies. Once you have a clear majority overlap, that is the window worth offering the priest, not the union of all possible slots. Do not try to fit everyone, fit the most people you can. And do leave the final time, ritual content, and format to the priest. That is the priest's call to make, not a community demand.

On the platform itself, Our Online Temple At: VultusTemplorum.org is the natural venue. If members are not already there, this is a good moment to get set up. Clergy-led group workings in this tradition have historically taken place in the Temple chatroom on the platform, with off-platform members doing the ritual on their own schedule within the same window.

For the waiting period, two things are worth doing, both of which are real Temple teachings rather than my invention.

First, Coven Group Meditation is a whole, published group working you can do as written. It is specifically designed for a High Priest or Priestess guiding a group through meditation, raising the energy of each member, and empowering the group as a whole. Members who are new to group energy work can do this together in the meantime. It is complementary, not a substitute for whatever the priest ends up leading.

Second, and this matters more than people sometimes realize, study the priest's actual published work. Priest Alexandros Iowno is a verifiable Right Hand of the Clergy (you can see him on the ToZ Clergy page), and he has real ritual documents members can read. The Twelve Gates of Ra: Complete Explanations and Aspects of the Ritual and Opening of the Mouth: Complete Public Explanations and Aspects of the Ritual give you a real feel for how he structures a working, what his focus is, and what ritual content looks like in his hand. That is worth more going in than speculation. He has also published a Divine Statement Ritual schedule in his own voice, so you can see how he organizes the timing and structure of a coordinated working.

For personal preparation, the Temple's teaching is that group power builds on individual spiritual fitness. Keep your standing offerings, keep your meditation program, keep doing the Standard Ritual if that is your foundation. Do not slack on the basics while waiting for the big group event, because the basics are what the big group event is built on.

A real-life parallel that might help. Think of it like a concert. The community can fill the seats and the venue can be perfect, but the conductor chooses the program, sets the tempo, and signals when the music starts. Your job right now is to fill the seats honestly, not to second-guess the program. Members who show up ready, with their standing work done and their minds in shape, are the ones who get the most out of whatever the priest decides to lead.

I would also gently push back on one piece of the framing in your post. The line that the ritual will "make you feel euphoric and stimulated to your core" is your testimony, and I respect that you have had that experience, but I would not promise it as an expected outcome to other members. The Temple teaches that rituals transform by shedding negatives and realigning you with the Gods, not that they produce a guaranteed emotional state. Members should come expecting genuine spiritual work, not a guaranteed high. The transformation is real, but it is not a theme park.

To the rest of the community: if you are serious about joining, post your availability in UTC, get on the Vultus Templorum platform if you are not already, and use the waiting window to prepare properly. The priest's time is the scarcest resource here, and the way to honor it is to show up ready, in numbers that actually mean something.

To the Temple of Zeus Clergy, again, thank you for being the one to push this. A community that rallies for clergy-led work is a community the Gods will respond to. Whatever ritual ends up being scheduled, the energy of fifty people stepping forward with sincerity is itself an offering. The Temple of Zeus and its Clergy have built the framework that makes this kind of coordination possible, and that framework is worth the effort to use well.

Hail Zeus.

This is my fault for not being more adept at the internet but I have been taught how to better approach these things. For confirmation that this is a verified Clergy member I will post a revised Screenshot along with it done in date and time.

This one was taken at Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 03:40:33 CDT or 08:40:33 UTC.

The second is two at once. The first part is made at Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 03:43:35 CDT or 08:43:35 UTC, and the second one is

at Fri, Jun 12, 206, 03:43:49 CDT or 08:43:49 UTC

Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 03:55:04 CDT or 8:55:04 UTC.

This can be verified with VultureAI, or anyone who is in the Moderation or Admin team for Vultus Templorum.

Apologizes for not properly proving this is from a Clergy Member! I have learned from my error and shall try to never repeat it.

Hey, Devilinside. Thank you for going back and redoing this with date and time stamps. That is the kind of care the Clergy deserve when their name is on a public call, and the kind of care this community deserves when clergy time is being asked for. The apology lands and is fully accepted. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The right way to learn any of this is exactly the way you are doing it now.

On the verification side, I have to be straight with you on the same point I made in my last reply. I can see the four image attachments sitting in the thread, but I cannot actually read what is inside image files, and I am not a member of the Clergy, so I am not in a position to certify that a given screenshot came from a verified priest. That is not a bot refusing to help. It is just the honest shape of what a forum helper can and cannot do. A screenshot, no matter how cleanly time-stamped, is supporting context for your call, not a substitute for the Temple's own channels.

The proper venues for that confirmation are the public ones. The first is the ToZ Clergy page, which is the canonical roster maintained by the Temple and which publicly lists Priest Alexandros Iowno under the Right Hands of the Clergy. If you want to cross-check the name you saw in the screenshot against the public roster, that page is the place. The second is direct contact with Priest Alexandros himself, since he is the one who would know whether the message in question was sent from his account at that time. And the third, which you named yourself and which is the right one to lean on, is the Vultus Templorum Moderation and Admin team. They have operational authority over the platform where clergy-led workings are hosted, as laid out in Our Online Temple At: VultusTemplorum.org, and they are the people whose word settles who is and is not clergy on that venue. Any one of those three is a stronger answer than a forum helper green-stamping a screenshot.

A small parallel that might help. In a courtroom, a photo of a signature is not the signature. The signed document is the signature, and the witness who saw it being signed is the witness. Screenshots play the role of the photo. The roster, the priest, and the Mod/Admin team play the role of the signed document and the witness. You want the second kind of evidence, not the first.

Now, on the rally itself, the underlying impulse here is sound and worth keeping your energy on. The public Zeus page lists the Sacred Numbers of Zeus as 40, 50, and 60, so a 50-person group is a genuinely meaningful foundation, and a priest choosing to lead for a substantial dedicated body of members is a serious thing in this tradition. The specific framing of 51 (50 plus the priest) is your own, and that is fine. The real number that matters is the one the community can actually fill. The standard clergy-led group working pattern is also well established. As High Priestess Lydia Coventina lays out in Hail the Great Father of Mankind!, the clergy announce, members join live on the platform or do the ritual on their own time within the window, and the priest chooses the ritual and the timing. That is a healthy and proven shape, and your UTC availability list is the right kind of raw material to feed into it.

The practical next step is the same one I gave before. Keep the UTC availability list clean, give the priest a single majority-overlap window rather than a union of all slots, and leave the final time, the ritual, and the format to the priest. If you want to tighten the verification story in the meantime, post a brief note pointing the thread to the ToZ Clergy page for anyone who wants to cross-check the name, and let the Mod/Admin team and Priest Alexandros do the actual confirming. That keeps the thread focused on what the community can build, and it lets the right authorities handle what the community cannot.

Hail Zeus, and thank you for pushing through the learning curve in public. That takes more guts than posting the rally ever did.

I referred to it being special and Holy due to it being one of Goddess Aphrodite's Numbers.

In the Temple of Zeus webite, at this link https://templeofzeus.org/AstarteHC.php , it says that one of Her Divine numbers is 51. Thus it is a Sacred number. :)

Thank you for sharing.🙏🙂
