Welcome. You are here to learn, understand, and improve—this is the path of the Gods. This guide is created to give a path and general overview of the Temple of Zeus, its teachings, essential knowledge, and how to understand and apply them. This will literally include everything you need. This will need multiple readings, and that is normal—good luck on your journey! It would be valuable for more experienced members to also go through this guide. I have included a lot of concepts that you may not know about. For Returning Members, please check the "For Returning Members" section, which explains all changes.
The forums are a critical ecosystem of knowledge, there are many things here that have not been elaborated on the main site currently. It is high time for this guide. It is possible that many who have been Zevists for years have not fully understood these concepts. I have made it my task for these past few weeks to assemble the puzzle and present it to you. Posts have a character limit so this guide has to be split into two posts. The second part is directly below this one.
This initial general introduction will be quite philosophical and theoretical—do not let this intimidate you, you'll understand everything eventually and the practical knowledge is detailed in simple terms in the next chapters. So let's get started.
General Introduction to Zevism
We humans run on electricity, bioelectricity to be more precise. This is the "spark" and "vital energy" that keeps us alive; we can survive not eating for hours and not breathing for a few minutes, but without this spark, we are unable to survive. What many do not know, however, is that we are able to raise the level of this bioelectricity within ourselves with many methods—by practicing void meditation, power meditation, breathing exercises, vibrating words of power, yoga, and other exercises. The key to this is to do it safely and effectively, without any redundant asceticism or anything similar—this is the powerful path we have laid out for every Zevist. This bioelectricity is also known as chi/qi and prana, to name a few alternative names.
Our ancestral Gods, throughout many pantheons, have given us this knowledge. They have granted us meditations, spiritual knowledge, wisdom, and other expansive resources to develop ourselves.
These resources were given to us to make us self-sustaining and wise, fit to align with the laws of the universe and win against the natural entropy of the universe.
Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, humanity has gradually deviated from the path of the Gods and disconnected from them.
Nevertheless, there still are groups and religious organizations that keep the path of the Gods a viable path in the modern world, one of which is the Temple of Zeus.
The Temple of Zeus aims to give people correct and practical knowledge and collectively uplift humanity and the community of the Gods.
The Temple of Zeus does not give people false hope or coddle them. It's the Saturnian parent that makes sure its children grow strongly and properly.
Rather than being obsessed with discipline, though, we do in fact recognize and empathize with human nature and the limitations some people possess.
We do not tell or expect people to instantly fix themselves, we aim to give them advice to first free themselves from these limitations and then embark fully upon the path.
We promote physical health and do not repress sexuality.
It's natural to be skeptical of our teachings at first, we do not bash this, but instead, guide you to realize the truth.
We are the few and the elite. We welcome everyone to learn, but we recognize that the givers and builders will remain few.
We do not discriminate among Zevists; everyone is judged by their behavior and contributions. We do not allow any kind of abrahamism here.
People at any age and stage in life can become Zevists—whether 15 or 73—whether from a mid-life crisis or the exploratory curiosity of youth.
Zevists will never dilute their knowledge to please the masses.
You will be given a map, but not everyone will take the journey—this is okay, we will never force anyone.
You do not have to be perfect to be a Zevist; all it takes is the right mindset and the will to achieve your goals.
We Zevists aim to get closer to the Gods and embark upon the journey of knowledge, understanding, and self-mastery on all layers.
We recognize that the many Pagan pantheons throughout history referred to the same Gods through different cultural interpretations.
We do not believe in "dogma" or any subjective rules; we believe in the order and laws of nature itself, and this is encapsulated in our ethics.
The universe and its laws are not what buddhists or other new-age people tell you; we do not believe in "passivity" or nihilism.
We believe in actively developing yourself to face nature and not end up simply helplessly praying in the face of disaster.
We believe in Realism and the need to face and understand the darkest aspects of the universe, existence, and ourselves, in order to find the light.
We are the ones who silently listen to the rhythms of the universe. We are the ones who gaze upon the harmony of the universe in awe and comprehension.
We strive to know and fully understand, internally and externally. We aim to understand ourselves and use this knowledge to improve ourselves.
"Higher or lower, we must seek only reality, most importantly, our inner reality." - Virtue of Realism
At its core, Zevism is mastery of the laws of the universe. These laws have been mastered by our Gods, and they intend to help us understand and embody them.
The highest universal law in Zevism is Truth (Satya). Most people minimize Truth to only be related to one's words; in reality, Truth is more importantly related to our actions, perception, and state of existence. Truth is objectivity itself; it is the unadulterated and pure state of the Universe. Seeking Truth not only means to attain full objectivity, but also, to realize your fullest potential as a Human and as an existence. This means advancement on all layers: physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual. This is the highest virtue that all Gods follow, and this is one of the virtues the Gods are leading you toward. Development on only one layer will lead to long-term stagnation and suffering that could be easily avoided, we must advance on all layers.
In short, Zevism is the Path to self-mastery and harmony with the universe on all layers. It is the Path to connect with your true potential. You will not be alone on this path; the Gods that have created humanity will guide you through this process, with the eventual goal of becoming a God yourself. I am aware, it sounds pretty far-fetched, but keep on reading.
Understanding Sermons
It is a big jump to start reading forum Sermons (writings by the High Priest/ess) without having fundamental occult/spirituality knowledge—it's very important to study the main Temple of Zeus site thoroughly. Each Sermon has unique snippets of wisdom, pieces of the puzzle which slowly unravel to you the more Sermons you read. You will need to go through a phase of much study—everyone here had to go through that. Slowly and gradually, you'll start to understand occult allegories and develop a deep intuition for them and other knowledge.

Introduction to Spiritual Alchemy
All humans possess the natural capability for spiritual advancement within their souls. This potential can be used when you become aware of it and develop it.
Humans possess a complex energetic structure within all layers of their body, much of which is latent.
Processes that awaken, empower, or transform more parts of this complex structure within your body are usually called "alchemy" or "spiritual alchemy".
This "energy structure" is present on what is called the "Astral Body". It is a layer of our spiritual body.
Within this astral body, there exist thousands of energy channels; these are called "Nadi". Our human bodies possess 144,000 Nadis to be exact, with each half of our body possessing 72,000.
Naturally, as many people neglect these more "subtle" spiritual layers, they start to become blocked.
There is one important thing to note: "as above, so below"; all layers of your body affect one another. Whether emotional or physical issues, your spiritual body also gets affected.
This means if you're physically not in shape, this can affect your mental health and vice versa. The same goes for spirituality, if you neglect it you can also feel a backlash on other layers.
We possess energy centers, which we call "Chakras"; these chakras govern different functions within our bodies, ranging from survival instincts (Base Chakra) to spiritual connection (Crown Chakra).
Chakras are the main things we will be working with, they are the backbone of spiritual development. There are 7 Major Chakras and many other minor Chakras. For now, we'll focus on the major ones.
I'll now shortly explain the general roadmap of what we will be doing.
Firstly, to build a good foundation, we need to open these Chakras—this gets the cogs of our spiritual body running. They will not be fully open after these procedures but it will certainly suffice for further development. Opening these Chakras will simply be done by visualization, Mudras (certain finger-hand positions) and "vibrating" a certain Mantra—this basically means vocalizing it in a sustained way, to give an example "AHHHHH-OOOOOO-MMMMMM" is a Mantra for AUM, each syllable should be vocalized for the same amount of time. Don't worry, diagrams visualizing the Chakras will be given later on here.
Secondly, we need to deep-clean our spiritual body. What this will do is clean all of the dirt/dross out of our soul; it releases deep trauma, negative mindsets, and other things.
Not only that, it will also gradually unblock more and more Nadis, unblocking the energy flow of your astral body. Spiritual advancement without this process is like filling a bottle with a huge hole on the bottom.
Worse than that, most people aren't aware that trying to forcefully open energy channels without cleaning them can lead to critical long-term damage. Never do this.
Thankfully, we're doing all of this the safe and correct way so you don't have to worry.
Other than that, as previously mentioned, "as above, so below". We need to work on our physical body too—namely with Hatha Yoga. Yes, physical exercise is part of being healthy and advancing spiritually.
No excuses, you need to touch some grass. You can't be a mage warlord if you cannot move your body. Yoga gets the energy flowing; an unhealthy and inflexible body does not make for good Nadis.
Progressively, we will gradually open and unblock more and more Nadis and empower our astral body.
Of course, another important thing is meditation. One of the biggest fundamentals is "void meditation", a meditation where you keep your thoughts as empty as possible for as long as possible.
This meditation is extremely important when it comes to learning how to focus and build the concentration to direct and program energy (telling energy what to do), this is a fundamental skill we will work on.
The other, more esoteric meditations are based around this—visualizing certain energy centers and directing energy, causing you to move this energy within yourself, even if you can't feel it at the beginning. Don't worry, you're not supposed to instantly feel everything, we are still in the process of unblocking our Nadis, remember?
Contrary to popular belief, the Soul is not eternal and this is strongly tied to reincarnation. The reason we reincarnate is that our innate energy is limited after death.
We cannot advance spiritually in the afterlife because the physical body is necessary for advancing the other layers of our soul. So what we truly are here for is to immortalize the Soul.
This process is called the Magnum Opus, the "Great Work", and attaining this is our main goal. Through this process, the soul and body are unified, and one unites with their "true soul" or "higher self".
""Spiritual advancement" is the sum of the advancement in the material body (Hatha, Pranayama, Kundalini Yoga, physical exercise, setting the joints straight), the mental body (thought, self awareness, knowledge), the intermediate level (Chakras, who are both on the soul and glands on the material body and centers of soul), and on the spiritual (The auric field, the consciousness, projection of the soul, handling the invisible energies). The finalizing of this process is where one is able to save themselves spiritually (not die in the astral) but the last level of this is saving the material body, since it's bonded with the, after practice, immortal soul. [...] Until this process is complete, the Gods salvage us and send us back, where we continue from where we left off." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Structure of this Guide & Preliminary Information
We are now finished with the introduction. After this explanation of the structure of the guide and some more important prefacing information, we will dive deeply into the structure of the spiritual body.
We will describe the proper Chakra alignment, various Chakra extensions, 3 main Nadi, 3 Granthis (places of energy blockages), Kundalini, the Layers of the Soul, and more.
After that, we will go over the practical things, what kind of tools we use for spiritual development, and afterwards, a roadmap on how to practically do this.
Subsequently, we will go over various kinds of our occult, metaphysical, and philosophical Teachings, such as the Afterlife, Mythology, "The One", Harmony, and more (this section is also very important)
Lastly, there will be a forum guide included. To make navigation easier, most of this guide includes hyperlinks in blue to quickly and easily jump to the corresponding Sermon/webpage/topic.
The theory in the next chapters is detailed to give context to the entire guide, you are not intended to fully understand everything on the first reading.
Read it, try to understand it, and move on to the next chapter. After finishing reading the practical roadmap, you can start opening the Chakras and reading these sections more deeply.
Background on the Temple of Zeus: The Temple of Zeus was founded by High Priestess Maxine Dietrich as "Joy of Satan" in 2002. We recognized that the "demons" described in the Ars Goetia are actually our Pagan Gods e.g. Zeus, Anubis, Apollo, Thoth, and more, portrayed in an incorrect manner. The names of the Gods were twisted in the Goetia, so we do not use their naming conventions anymore. As this Temple progressed, our Founding High Priestess discovered and learned new information from the Gods, which most of us now consider fundamental knowledge; this is why there may be some confusion about information contained in the older webpages/Sermons, where some information was not available at the time. The Joy of Satan began being known as the Temple of Zeus on the 12th of February (here) this was a long-awaited decision made to free us from the shackles of limited context and engage with the core Truth and essence of our Gods; the context of "Satan" and the Goetia was created by the enemies of knowledge in the Dark Ages to slander all Pagan Gods and has no historicity to it, we have identified "Satan" with Zeus, Odin, Shiva, and many more Gods from ancient pagan pantheons around the world for decades and this was now decisively affirmed. This process and all the factors behind it are also explained in detail in this video.

The First Step (Dedication): A formal dedication to receive protection from Zeus and the Gods, necessary to advance on the path, can be found here. This rite is the first step. Dabbling can draw the wrong kind of attention from entities that do not desire your advancement. A Guardian Daemon (GD) will be assigned to you (by the Gods themselves, not us or you) once you dedicate.
What is the Point of the Dedication Ritual? (Read this)
Guardian Daemons (GD): Your GD is a God assigned to guide you and help you advance on the Zevist Path. They will be your closest aide—please do not think you can order your GD around randomly, treat them with respect. Your GD is not chosen by you. The Gods do have a hierarchy but it does not matter how "high ranking" your GD is, they are 100% fit to help you and will do so—just please remember to actually do something to advance, do not wait around and expect your GD to "fix" it for you, this is highly disrespectful and not how Zevism works. Connecting with your GD will be one of your priorities.

Structure of the Spiritual Body
General Knowledge (High Priestess Maxine Dietrich):
Each of the seven main chakras has a specific function and power. All the chakras, both major and minor, directly affect the organs of the body that they are in proximity with. This is a reciprocal relationship in regard to one's health, as an unhealthy organ will affect the power of the chakra and vice versa. The serpent lies coiled at the base of the spine beneath the base chakra located at the tailbone. The serpent lies dormant until it is stimulated through power meditation, or in rare cases, it ascends through accident, being either physical injury or other trauma to the area of the tailbone.
Each chakra is in the shape of a small funnel, like a miniature spinning tornado in the shape of a cup. The suit of cups in the Tarot symbolizes the chakras, as each chakra holds energy within its cup. The most important chakra is the solar plexus chakra, which is the Grail. There is also more to Thor's Hammer than just its symbolizing the correct alignment of the chakras. The vibration 'TH' activates the 6th chakra and pineal gland, which is the female counterpart to the solar chakra. The pineal gland secretes the elixir of life, which is stored in the solar chakra, and the vibration for the solar chakra is 'RA.' This is the hidden meaning behind 'THOR', which is another very important spiritual concept. The chakras are always spinning.
The 7 Major Chakras (High Priestess Maxine Dietrich):
The chakras are the powerful energy centers of the soul. Each one has a separate function along with certain specific powers. The health of our chakras affects both our physical, emotional, and mental health. There are different parts of the soul, the chakras are the most important and major part. There are seven major chakras located along the spine that are the most powerful. Each of these chakras vibrates to the frequency of the light spectrum.
Crown Chakra - Jupiter - Feminine - Water: The Crown Chakra is known as the "thousand-petal lotus." The lotus is also known as a lily. Lily = "Lilith." In addition to each Demon as an actual living being, each Demon has his/her own spiritual message. Lilith rules the Crown Chakra. Satan rules the Base Chakra. Both the Base and Crown Chakras are a male and female pair and work together. The crown chakra, known as the "Sahasrara" in Sanskrit, is at the top of the head, right on top. It is violet in color and rules over the brain, the pituitary, and the nervous system. In allegory, its symbol is the thousand-petalled lotus. This symbol goes back to Ancient Egypt. The seventh chakra, when fully activated and opened, induces bliss states. Demons informed me it is ruled by the element of water. This chakra rules over all the psychic senses and is essential to telepathic communication. [...] When this chakra is blocked, one often experiences sensations such as the crawlies, as the serpentine energy is going around this chakra and not through it as it is supposed to.
FUNCTION: Enlightenment
INNER STATE: Bliss, intuition, psychic hearing, and communication [along with the 6th chakra]
6th Chakra - Moon - Feminine - Aether: The sixth chakra, known as the "Ajna" in Sanskrit, is located directly behind the third eye. The third eye is an extension of this chakra and rules the psychic sight. This chakra is the psychic seat of the soul. When the pineal gland within is activated, it will often light up brilliantly, flooding the head with white light, bringing an intense state of extreme bliss along with it. When the pineal is activated, it swells, and there is a feeling of pressure about the size of a grape. The sixth chakra rules over the eyes, both the physical and astral vision, and the pineal gland. It is violet-blue/indigo in color, and its element is the ether. Its metal is silver, and its planet is the Moon. This chakra is where the ida and pingala meet. It contains the all-important pineal gland and is the psychic seat of the soul. In some workings, energy is directed up the spine to the sixth chakra and projected out the third eye, as seen in many Egyptian hieroglyphs.
FUNCTION: Psychic vision
INNER STATE: Intuition, telepathic communications
Third Eye Chakra (extension of the 6th Chakra): The 3rd Eye is directly related to the 6th chakra and the pineal gland. It is located in the middle of the forehead, above the brows, and along with the 6th chakra that sits in the back of the third eye and the pineal gland, it is the psychic sight of the soul. The third eye contains the astral sight. Through the third eye, astral images are transferred to the brain. The third eye is also important in telepathy and influencing others. I have found in willing others, thought energy should strongly be directed to the other person's third eye, even though this cannot be seen. The third eye is receptive to energy directed at it. The third eye, along with the sixth chakra, controls the eyesight, the sinuses, and the skin. It is with the third eye that we can see auras, do scrying, and see energy. The pineal gland and the sixth chakra are behind the third eye. The third eye is the front extension of the 6th chakra. The 6th chakra is where the Ida and Pingala serpents meet. When the kundalini pierces this chakra, it opens the last of the three knots. A flash of light is often experienced when this occurs. Opening the 3rd eye is a major step in consciousness.
Throat Chakra - Mercury - Feminine - Air: The throat chakra, known as the "Visudda" in Sanskrit, rules over the neck, thyroid gland, throat, mouth, voice, ears, hearing, and trachea. This chakra is sky blue in color and rules over verbal communication, intellect, emotions, and self-expression. Truth be known, the throat chakra, not the heart chakra, is the "seat of emotions." When we feel sad, like crying, we get a lump in the throat. The throat chakra is a chakra of creative potential and works with the sacral chakra.
FUNCTION: Verbal communication, emotional self-expression, creativity
INNER STATE: Emotions
Heart Chakra - Venus - Neuter - Fire/Air: The heart chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Anahata," is the neuter connector of the soul; connecting the top three female chakras with the bottom three male chakras. It controls the circulatory system of the soul. The heart chakra is different in that it is shaped like a yoni. The heart chakra rules astral projection.
FUNCTION: The heart chakra is the neuter connector for the upper and lower chakras
INNER STATE: Levity, astral projection
Solar Plexus Chakra/666 Chakra - Sun - Masculine - Fire: The solar plexus chakra is the most important chakra. It is known in Sanskrit as the "Manipura." It is the chakra of the will, and most important, it is the Grail of Lucifer that stores the elixir of life, secreted by the pineal gland. This is where the healing power of the soul emanates. It rules over the digestive system, the stomach, the pancreas, and the muscles. The solar chakra is gold in color and is ruled by the Sun. Its element is fire, and its metal is gold. Here is the chakra one uses to impress one's will when working witchcraft. The solar chakra is the powerhouse of the soul. Its symbol is the Swastika.
FUNCTION: This chakra is the powerhouse of the soul; will, power, manipulation
INNER STATE: Willpower, timing. This chakra is the Grail of Lucifer
Sacral Chakra - Mars - Masculine - Water: The sacral chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Svadisthana," is also known as the sexual chakra. This chakra is orange in color and controls sexual lust, along with the sexual and reproductive organs, the lower abdomen, and kidneys. Its element is water, and its metal is iron. It is ruled over by the planet Mars. It influences pleasure, indulgence, sexuality, and creativity. The sacral and solar chakras empower workings of sex magick. [...] Sexual orgasm, which is essential to everyone's physical, psychological, and emotional health, is what activates the serpent and fully opens this chakra.
FUNCTION: Sexuality, pleasure, procreation, creativity, the seat of sexual energy.
INNER STATE: Creative Potential
Base Chakra - Saturn - Masculine - Earth: The base/root chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Muladhara," controls the bowels, the bladder, lower colon, legs, and adrenal glands. This chakra is red in color. Its element is earth, and its metal is lead. It is ruled by the planet Saturn. This chakra gives stability and grounding, and rules over the survival and basic instincts. The base chakra gives us the will to survive, and the sense of security. Anger and rage emanate from this chakra, thus the phrase "seeing red." The first three chakras are the most influential in workings of magick, making things projected by the upper female chakras to manifest in reality.
FUNCTION: Survival, grounding
INNER STATE: Stability
On this chart we can see all the main Chakras. Don't worry about all the additional information on the chart, it will be explained later on.
The MAUM-LAUM on the right side describe all the corresponding mantras for each chakra.
Feminine chakras absorb energy. The masculine chakras project energy.
"Saturn also does not solely rule the Base Chakra." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 (Could not find a clarification here)
Important Note: Chakra Opening exercises do not fully open your Chakras by themselves.
They are powerful to open them, but your Chakras take years to fully open.
How to Open the Chakras
Chakra Alignment
The Chakras are not "wheels"; they are pyramid-shaped, outputting energy with their sharp point and intaking energy with its flat base. These points can also be called "Bindu". Here we have the correct alignment.
On the depiction on the left, we have the sideways view of the Chakras; we can clearly see the extensions of the Chakras on the front and back of the body respectively.
These extensions are drawing energy into the body (center), the center of the body is where the energy flow of the Chakras interacts with one another.
The Heart Chakra is the neuter (genderless) connector of the upper and lower Chakras. It is shaped like a diamond.
The alignment as seen on the picture in the middle and the middle of the body on the left picture is the proper alignment of the Chakras themselves.
"When directing energy as you would for spell work, and other workings of the mind, the chakras can be temporarily reversed so their points are facing out to deliver the energy. Remember, never connect with any negative energy, such as when working black magick. In other words, the negative energy should never run through you, but be external at all times. When working with positive energy, such as attracting your desires, it is favorable to point the chakras out and connect. Always remember to correctly realign your chakras after any work. Incorrect alignment of the chakras reduces your [...]power. [bioelectricity, etc.]"
"To open the minor chakras, it is important that you have already opened the major chakras and have established an energy flow that you can feel."
The Hip, Shoulder, and Temple Chakras
Shoulder Chakras - Extension of the Heart Chakra - How to Open
Temple Chakras - Extension of the 6th Chakra - How to Open
Hip Chakras - Extension of the Sacral Chakra - How to Open
These are not at the "front" when seen sideways, they are in the middle. i.e., the middle of the hips, shoulders.
This is more visible on the image for the Temple Chakras.
All of these are pointed inwards to the center of the body.
The functions of these 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, etc. Chakras above the Crown has not been explained yet. (and these likely should not matter to you if you haven't mastered the 7 main Chakras yet)
Many people neglect their Hand and Feet Chakras; these are important and should be opened after the Shoulder, Temple, and Hip Chakras.
Strong Hand/"Palm" Chakras are needed, especially if one wants to do Energy Projection, Telekinesis, or Healing, for example. - How to Open
The feet not only ground us symbolically but also energetically, they draw in energy into our body; keep your Feet Chakras strong. - How to Open
In general, all minor Chakras should be opened after opening the 7 Major Chakras and the Shoulder, Temple, Hip, Palm/Hand, and Feet Chakras.
It's important to have your shoulder and heart chakra open properly, as this makes the energy flow to the palms/hands much better. Here's a hand chakra meditation by Guardian Voice of Enki.
Wings of the Soul - Important Minor Chakras on our upper back
"To open each of these minor chakras, just focus on them and visualize them opening up like a star and getting brighter. This may have to be done for several meditation sessions before they are permanently opened. The points are the same for both sides of the head. As you advance, you can do "chakra breathing," where you absorb energy with each inhale and slightly expand and brighten each chakra you are focusing on, upon the exhale."
More minor chakras can be found here.
The 3 Main Nadi
We have 3 main Nadis (energy channels). The first two are associated with the Sun (Pingala) and the Moon (Ida), and the third one, the Sushumna, is a bit more complex.
Ideally, the Ida and Pingala work in unison without any form of imbalance; this can be achieved through specific breathing and meditation exercises.
Ida - Moon, Feminine, Negative Polarity
Pingala - Sun, Masculine, Positive Polarity
Ida/Pingala Dominance: Some males can be more Ida dominant and this can manifest in their behavior (feminine, nurturing, caring, etc.) and vice versa (masculine behaving females per Pingala dominance).
It's important to note that this can happen to anyone and is completely natural; you're still your biological gender. More on this here. Sex/Gender does not change throughout lifetimes.
Meditations to Balance Ida/Pingala: Alternative Nostril (Sun-Moon) Breath - Advanced Meditations: RAUM Meditation, King & Queen Meditation (Complete Version)
Sushumna - The central channel, the door and place of the kundalini energy, "Hermaphrodite". Mostly inactive for now, do not try to force this channel to activate.
"There is no actual point to 'open' the sushumna, just to get the energy of it going. Basically, it is a hollow, energetically speaking, space. One cannot simply 'open' it. It's like a vacuum.
Also, to keep stable sanity, do not do strange and bizarre experiments, and go for the natural development with the Serpent." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Now, spiritually speaking, we know there are three channels. In the female body, the left and right walls of the vagina, and the whole vagina, all connect to the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna accordingly. The same goes for the head of the phallus. The head of the Phallus is the gate to the sushumna, the sides of the Ida and Pingala accordingly. [...] The anus of both genders deals with the sushumna, the central channel."
Kundalini
The Kundalini Serpent is a mysterious power located at the base of our spine. All of the world's highest occult mysteries lead to this force.
When awakened, it tries to rise through all our Chakras through the sushumna channel. Forcing this prematurely can cause lasting or even permanent damage.
Awakening this safely is one of our main priorities for spiritual advancement. A physically strong and flexible body is needed to handle this force.
"Kundalini/bio-electricity is hot like molten lead. A warm sensation at the base of your tailbone could be felt.
All of the chakras must be completely open and unobstructed. The serpent will ascend, piercing through each chakra.
For some people, this is as hot as a glowing iron. One must stay focused and direct the energy out of the crown chakra."
Three Granthis
There exist 3 specific points in our body that are major blocks for the Kundalini Serpent. These are called the 3 Granthis.
The first one is located in the base chakra, the second one in the heart chakra, and the third one in the sixth chakra/pineal gland.
We unblock these points by working on the chakra extensions surrounding the chakra. It's important to start from the 3rd Granthis (on the pineal gland) and go down from there.
These are unblocked with the Watchtower meditation. The Mantras used on the page are outdated. Below is a diagram with the updated meditation and mantras.
On the Numerology of the Nadi
"24 (Number of the Alphabet) is also 24x3 = 72. Which is essentially 24x6 forming 144.
The 24x3 is unlocking the Granthis on the left side of the pillar, this equals 72 (The Ida).
The other 24x3 is unlocking the Granthis on the right side of the pillar, which also equals 72 (The Pingala).
These total 144 locations on the human body, constituting the universe.
There are 3 Knots or Granthis in the body. Evenly distributed on the left and right side of the soul.
The True 72 number deals with bringing down these obstacles and manifesting the Ida and Pingala parts of the Soul at full. This is done by Solar Mantras, which break off the dross and open up the pathways. Which is a very basic objective of meditation. When these are clean, you have 72 on one side, 72 on the other, or more accurately, 72,000 and 72,000 clean Nadis.
Making a whole of 144,000 Nadis. This makes you a complete soul. Which is the objective of meditation." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666

Before jumping into the sections on the layers of the soul, I will have to explain some topics more deeply.
Different parts of our soul/body exist on different layers of existence at once. Everyone might not be able to perceive them with their eyes, however, we are able to feel them under certain circumstances.
The "spirit realm" or the "afterlife" exists on a layer of existence called the Astral. A part of our soul called the Astral Body exists there right now, even if our physical body is alive and located here on Earth.
When we die, the cord connecting our astral body to our physical body snaps, and this causes us to abandon our physical bodies and take on the form of our astral body in the astral plane consciously.
Zevists at the moment of death are safely escorted to a safe haven by the Gods, this is depicted as the "Duat" in Egypt or "Hades". (More on that later in the "Afterlife" section)
The astral consists of many different levels, which correspond to your own "vibrational level"; you can think of it as your own emotional and spiritual advancement level.
The lower this level, the closer you are to the physical. Many different negative entities exist on the lower levels of the astral, corresponding to lower vibrational levels of individuals. Zevists are protected from these, but others who willfully deny the Gods may not, as the Gods respect free will. The Gods do help and lead good souls, regardless of Zevist affiliation, so no worries there, good souls will be protected.
People often ask if their family members can be guided by the Gods in the afterlife (even if they weren't Zevists). Free will plays a big role here, but the best thing you could do is pray to the Gods of the Afterlife, e.g., Lord Anubis and Lady Nephthys, and do their God Rituals.
Oftentimes, people can instantly be reincarnated after death. People who deny this process consciously can tie themselves closely to the physical, and this is where the concepts of ghosts come from, i.e., souls who don't want to reincarnate, whether consciously or subconsciously. People who do not possess a physical body will slowly dissipate after death (speed depending upon spiritual advancement) in the astral if they decide not to reincarnate. This dissipation is the true and permanent soul death; it is the return into the Aether, and this happens when the innate energy of your soul runs out.
Astral projection is the process of consciously using your astral body to travel around the astral plane (while having the astral body still attached to your physical body with the cord).
This is an advanced practice and has no benefits for beginners compared to meditation. Focus on cleaning and empowering your astral body instead, so if you do decide to project, it's much better and safer.
Here's a Sermon from the High Priest on Astral Projection.
Concentration & Thoughtforms
When we concentrate on a specific layer of our soul, we connect/become aware of this. When we meditate, we connect with the forces of nature, and this nurtures our soul.
Millions of people who strongly believe in a certain afterlife create this afterlife themselves. Directing your thoughts and feelings at something directs energy at it, and so, the collective belief of millions of humans and its directed energy are shaping a form of existence on the astral. Abrahamic "Hell" is an example here. Landing up in these artificial "afterlives" created by beliefs does not magically make the dissipation process of your soul stop. Entities created by thoughts are called Thoughtforms; these can be sovereign/rogue beings or ones intentionally created and under the control of a mage.
Thoughtforms should not be created by beginners, they are included in the intermediate section of the witchcraft/magick section.
Dross & Soul Imprints
Our soul has survived much, whether strongly positive or negative experiences and thoughts, some can be imprinted upon our soul.
Whether hang-ups or cognitive bias, these things shape the course of our lives daily and unapologetically; some of them can stem from these imprints.
These imprints can get stored in our chakras and other parts of our spiritual bodies and continue to manifest negative events and feelings throughout our lives, possibly even into our next lives.
They are removed by karma cleansing mantras and solar mantras, namely Munka and Surya, among others.
Karma
Karma is divided into two aspects, Material Karma (Hereditary) and Soul Karma (State and Imprints of your Soul)
The Material Karma is inherited from your parents, this is also connected to "racial karma", more on this here.
We believe that evolution is also tied to perfecting this Material Karma; making sure we all stay healthy genetically.
Soul Karma is the sum of your spiritual advancement and the state and imprints of your spiritual bodies.
The vicious cycle of spiritual ignorance has led to the point that we are kept in the loops of being burdened by the negative imprints of this Soul Karma, as we have never been taught how to cleanse it.
This in itself constitutes most of what people perceive Karma to be; they are not being "punished" but are rather experiencing a natural consequence of neglecting spiritual hygiene.
All of this is explained in more detail within the "Dealing with Astral Entities" Sermon Series by High Priest Hooded Cobra.
There are newer Sermons that aren't included in that PDF, you can search for them here on the forums.
Now, when we're talking about a more cosmic/universal kind of Karma, this is simply the factor of your alignment with the universe and its laws.
These laws are quite complex, and they will not be explained in detail here. Another broad meaning of Karma is the principle of cause and effect.
The Layers of the Body/Soul
This has not been fully explained yet. "I will not go into many details to this yet as it will be when Azazel [Apollo] gives the OK on that" - 2019, High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
I will try my best to present all available knowledge here. There is a bit of conflicting information regarding this.
Our soul, broadly, is all of the layers/parts of our soul summed up.
"There are several different aspects that make up the human soul. The aura, the light body, the chakras, the ethereal double [the ghost that takes on the image of the physical body], and the intelligence/consciousness. The human soul is also made up of the elements fire, earth, air, water, and quintessence [aether]. [...] The human soul can be divided at will during meditation.
This is what occurs with deliberate astral projection or involuntary "out of the body" experiences. Just as the soul can be divided, it can be reunited at will. The soul can be merged with the soul of another person.
The aura can be expanded and contracted at will. It can be programmed to attract or repel anything at will. The aura can be programmed by will to act upon the aura of another for better or worse.
Each aspect of the soul can be meditated upon separately and empowered. Each aspect can invoke and hold each of the elements. This is very advanced and can be dangerous if one does not know what one is doing. [...] The above, I write from my own direct experiences and not theory." - High Priestess Maxine in Aspects of the Soul
The Astral Body: "The body that one activates when one meditates. This is the body that houses the chakras and the seat of the life force. However, the life force doesn't only exist in this body."
The Aura: Extends from the Life force/Bioelectricity
Light Body: Shapeless but visualized as the internal counterpart to the aura. Exact functions and other properties have not been stated.
This next part is mainly recollecting the information from this (truly amazing) Sermon, but also the "Dealing with Astral Entities" series and this Sermon, all by High Priest Hooded Cobra, truly a treasure.
All of these should be fully read to comprehend all of this on a deep manner.
Lower part of the Astral Body
Masculine/Active/Ego/Conscious Soul: The conscious, "the Ego", active part of the Soul, gets wiped upon reincarnation.
Feminine/Inactive/Subconscious Soul: The subconscious, passive part of the Soul, "door to the higher part of the mind"
Higher part of the Astral Body
Unconscious/ID/Higher Self/Kundalini Soul: The "True Soul", "Real Soul", or "Higher Self". Stores all past life memories.
Becomes more and more connected to the other parts of the Soul as the astral body becomes empowered.
"The Astral body is the link between the Higher Part of the Soul, the Real Soul, and the conscious/dream bodies that we have, that is dimensionally higher than the present 'ego' and is touched when one is advancing in meditation."
The Astral Body stores the Conscious (Pingala Consciousness), Subconscious (Ida Consciousness), and Unconscious (Kundalini/Sushumna Consciousness) Souls.
The Male part of the Astral Body contains the Conscious Soul, the Female part of the Astral Body contains the Subconscious and Unconscious Souls.
This union between both the Subconscious and Conscious Soul awakens the Unconscious Soul/Kundalini/Sushumna channel.
This union/fusion happens by empowering our astral body.
The male part of the astral body contains a part called the "mental body" which links both parts and lets the male part of the astral body communicate with the female part.
When one reincarnates, the Ego/Conscious Soul is wiped and replaced by a new one given by your parents.
As above, so below. Empowering your physical body causes you to empower your astral body.
"The raising of the Serpent unites the Male part of the Soul [the "Ego" one has in every lifetime] with the female part of the Soul [that remains only half intact after reincarnation, because as we are young it gets programmed by others - this is the door to the higher part of the mind] and they both unite and fuse with the Higher Self/ Kundalini part of the Soul [in which the real Soul ID that existed in all lifetimes and so forth, the real self exists]. The Rising of the Serpent is the ground upon which the True Self of all lifetimes is experienced and is becoming reality. When this happens, the door is being opened and is accessible to this higher self, for whatever purposes. You might think this is the end, but in reality, it's the new beginning." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"The Male part of the Soul is directly linked to the Mental body, which is the link between the Male and Female parts of the Astral body. There is no "Mental body" on its own, its rather a part of the Male Astral body, but at the same time, what is called "mental body" communicates with the Female part of the Astral body, that contains the Subconscious and Unconscious parts of the Soul." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Life force can be divided into two categories: The one that comes from heredity and the physical body, and the one they have in their Soul.
This is why the physical body itself has a set time of existence from the time it is born, or why certain people are born spiritually powerful but are not really into spirituality, same as people who are born muscular without ever having lifted weights. This is also genetic." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Typically, Racial Theory for the Pythagoreans was an analysis that took around anywhere from 15 to 30 years in people knowing the astral in and out to understand." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"The Egyptian people have figured out as the Gods related to them, that CONSCIOUSNESS is everything. What's so important about CONSCIOUSNESS however? We can also call "CONSCIOUSNESS", as "ATTENTIVENESS". Attentiveness means the simple thing; I pay attention, as a conscious entity. This means, that one pays attention to what is happening "around" or "within". This insight, through meditation, gives insight and control over the "automatic" processes of the female part of the Soul or Mind, which directly tie into "Karma". If one does not attend on these, the Soul can actually wither away and die, and one's whole existence will be a programmed loop, until they stop existing. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
(?) High Priest Hooded Cobra refers to male and female sides of the soul and male and female sides of the astral body, it is unclear what exactly this difference is.
"Disease usually manifests in the soul/astral body before symptoms occur in the physical body. This is almost always due to poor energy/chi circulation to the organ/s or a cut-off of a pathway due to an accident or injury." - High Priestess Maxine Dietrich
The 4 Corners, "Crowned Princes", and Pillars of the Soul
Confusing chapter ahead! (This chapter is simply here for reference)
"When the human soul is correctly aligned, it is in the shape of an inverted cross. This is the hidden meaning of "Thor's Hammer." The cross shape of the human soul is represented by the "Four Quarters," the "Four Directions," and the Four Crowned Princes of Hell in rituals.
Consonants & Vowels Corresponding to Chakras:
Base Chakra (L)AUM
Sacral Chakra (V)AUM
Solar Plexus Chakra (R)AUM
Heart Chakra (A)UM
Throat Chakra (H)AUM
Third Eye Chakra (TH)AUM
Sixth Chakra (Y/G)AUM
Crown Chakra (M)AUM
L - V - R - A - H - TH - Y/G - M
The Four Corners/Directions & Pillars of the Soul - IAEO
The 4 Pillars have to do with the following: Fire is the Spirit, Water is the Soul, Air is the Intelligence (pure intellectuality), Earth is the physical body.
All the pillars meet in the middle point, which is the Sushumna, the Aether and is all the above unified. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
When one connects to the "Four Letter Name" or "IAEO" which is a symbol for the Pillars of the Soul [4 Pillars] one eventually creates the "Temple of God" in where "God" or the consciousness of the universe can reside. [...] Zeus, was also referred to as the force of IAEO or IAO, a symbol for the trine power of the Universe and the Four Quarters and directions of existence. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Both I-O and A-E are pairs. This may be overreaching, but I believe that the A-E pair might have something to do with the name EA (One of Father Zeus' names in Akkadian)
Advanced Aura of Protection Utilizing the 4 Pillars (Given to Guardian Voice of Enki by Astarte/Aphrodite)
These pillars are also related to the Chakra extensions and are visible in the Sigils of the Gods.
Sigils
Through the goetia grimoire, Sigils to summon various Gods were given, while these are often used by the enemy, they are real and authentic and valid to use for communication with our Gods.
There are some Sigils that aren't given or remain private, these are private for a reason. Do not use Sigils that aren't listed on ToZ. This includes Lady Lilith's Sigil.
Never draw circles around these sigils; this signifies "binding" something. That is the reason they were included with circles around them in the enemy's works.
If you wish to get closer to a certain God, you may meditate upon their sigil and do their God Ritual (If one exists). God Rituals are talked about in the later parts of this guide.
"The Sigils are original alchemical symbols of Sumerian origin. What is going to happen is that the Sigils are going to be put under the correct Name and identity of the God they represent.
Restoration and correction and then we move on with the correct materials." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666

Hades (Underworld), Poseidon (Earth), Zeus (Heaven/Elysium)
Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu.
AUM.
There exist many trinities in mythology and occultism, some of which are related to the so-called "trine force" of the universe.

Our Tools for Advancement
After this section comes the practical roadmap. It's ideal to get familiar with the tools first, so please read this and then the next section.
Meditation: We practice power meditation. By practicing meditation, we gradually align more with the universe, gain control over our spiritual bodies, get more powerful, and our concentration skills rise. Our website has a dedicated section for meditations & energy work exercises here. Please start with the beginner exercises—do NOT skip them—they are the basis and fundamentals for advancement.
Void meditation is an extremely important thing one has to master—always include it in your routine. Problems with trance? Try this.
Excuses About Meditation - And It's Necessity
MOST IMPORTANT SECTION
Breathing Exercises: "Yogic breathing exercises are some of the most powerful ways of amplifying the [vital energy/bioelectricity]" Read more here.
Chakras: Our bodies contain energy centers—Chakras—a general introduction to them is detailed here—visual diagrams can be found here. We must clean our Chakras, open them, and empower them. Opening the Chakras is the initial step. They are described in detail in the "Structure of the Spiritual Body" section of this guide. We work on these Chakras to advance spiritually.
Please read High Priest Hooded Cobra's Sermon on Chakra work.
Magick: Magick is not woo woo, it exists and everyone can utilize it to become a better and more powerful person. This is quite literally the power to change your "destiny"; you DO have it inside of you. Please go through the "information" section here.
Knowledge: Knowledge is key to advancement. The sites, forums, and the Sermons and responses from Clergy here are immensely valuable, never underestimate this.
Karma & Cleansing: Necessary for your advancement! Removes negative energetic imprints, improves your energy sense, among many other great benefits.
Cleansing unblocks your energy channels—without doing this, you are pouring water into a cup filled with holes, and all workings are much less powerful.
Doing at least 1 Munka (karmic cleansing) working should be obligatory.

God Rituals: Various rituals for our Gods and other purposes are present on our ritual website; these are not only prayers for the Gods, they are actually very beneficial to YOU.
Yes, they are not merely about praying to our Gods, they are also there to empower the various aspects these Gods represent within ourselves (more about that here).
Regarding God Rituals (Must be read before doing them for the first time) - High Priestess Lydia
High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 on the 72 Goetic Daemons:
"These 72 Gods primarily symbolize the untapped potentials also inside each soul
So the choice of 72 Gods to desecrate goes deeper, it's an in-depth occult choice by the enemy
Long story short, to lock key areas of understanding in the human soul.
If you divide the full circle (360) by 5 (5 elements) you get 72.
So the year is divided by 72, because each of these, works to rectify an element of the soul and one element from the soul. [...]
[Question] If some of these 72 Gods were born as humans, then did these potentials of the soul correspond to other Gods before they achieved their Godhood? And the days they represent too?
The potential is already within the only question is tapping it.
The degree of tapping it, wisdom, evolution etc, is the degree of how close one is to the Godhead.
By the end of all the 72 + extra Daemon Rituals what we will have, is essentially a yearly schedule, for working all these aspects of the soul to accelerate evolution + venerate the Gods.
That's why these exist in the first place and that's what these do."
The Gods: Learn about the Gods and how to communicate with them. A few sentences would not do them justice.
"You pray to [...] Zeus, to send you help for let's say, coding on your computer (this is a topic ruled over by Thoth)
"What" God will be sent is not relevant, this is up to the office of the Gods (they can send a minor Daemon, answer directly, or send another one) but in the end of the day, you will get your help.
When you open up more, you can know the details of this, and that's the whole point. But fundamentally, the Gods operate as a large family of distinct entities that cover each their post, and operate as "One".
For example, if I call the "government" for fixing lightbulbs in the street, not necessarily the President will arrive, but the presidential mandate will send the lightbulb expert electrician.
The only thing I see is that the Government responded." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 Explaining How the Gods Respond
Ethics: When we talk about Ethics in the Temple of Zeus, we do not mean slavish and human-made rules, but rather, rules that are naturally created by the Universe itself.
Following and applying them guarantees that you exponentially channel/utilize more power due to your alignment with the Universe itself.
These are not merely sophistry; please do study and contemplate upon them: Ethics of the Gods
Why are there Ethics in Zevism?
Deprogramming: There are cognitive patterns and trauma that are holding us back from truly healing; we need to recognize, understand, and free ourselves from them. Some of these naturally subside when one starts cleansing workings, however, a lot still stays buried within. You need to free yourself from being controlled and manipulated by others, whether that be by anger or other emotions. Rebellious instincts are natural and valid, however, we must keep a logical and rational mind. Anger itself is not the issue here, but rather, the loss of control associated with it.
Affirmations: Energy needs to be directed/programmed; affirmations (alongside visualization) are commonly used for this. You ALWAYS need affirmations for what you want energy to do.
An example would be "I am now healthy, productive, and motivated" or "All of my Chakras are now functioning optimally". Affirmations should be in the present tense.
Mantras & Words of Power: We use specific mantras/words of power to create internal changes within our energetic and spiritual bodies. Each mantra has its own purpose and aligns you with something. Some of these mantras should not be used by beginners and can cause lasting damage; only use mantras vetted by Clergy. To check for this, search the specific mantra here on the forums. HPS Lydia has given guidance and vetted specific mantras in forum responses before. Do NOT vibrate the names of Gods as a beginner, unless directly doing a God Ritual. DO NOT "EXPERIMENT" WITH GOD NAMES OR MANTRAS IN GENERAL! We're very worried about people accidentally hurting themselves with these. Never use the banishing mantra that starts with "V" on yourself; it can damage your soul—beginners shouldn't use it at all.
How to Vibrate Mantras: Mantras are vibrated in a sustained way. Pronounce each syllable with equal length.
Here's a small list of "safe" and approved mantras (they're safe as long as you don't overdo it):
Munka - destroys negative karma - this is a cleansing and purification mantra, highly recommended to do at least once during your lifetime - used in the freeing the soul working
Ansuz (Runic) - removes obstacles and bindings (has many more uses) - used in the freeing the soul working - read more about this rune here.
Sananda (Sanskrit) - energy "purifier" - the mantra means "joy" in Sanskrit. It can be used to cleanse areas e.g. your house or room. It will make them feel pleasant.
It can also be used on yourself to cleanse yourself and embody "joy". Please try this mantra if you feel depressed or anything similar.
Wunjo (Runic) - very positive rune used in healing (including mental health-related issues) - read more about this rune here.
Surya (Solar) - cleansing - a solar (sun) mantra that can be used for cleansing.
Raum (Solar) - cleansing - another solar mantra
Uruz (Runic) - energy, vigor - can be beneficial to raise energy - read more about this rune here.
Sowilo (Runic/Solar) - energy, willpower - can be beneficial to raise energy - read more about this rune here.
All runes (except for hagl/hagalaz) are pretty much safe to use, within measure, of course.
Mantras related to planets should be timed accordingly. for example: Surya is a mantra of the Sun, Sunday is the day of the Sun. You do the mantra at the hour of the Sun and on Sunday—this amplifies its power.
Please keep in mind that planetary positions affect how these manifest and work; not every Sunday is ideal when the Sun is in a "bad" position itself.
[Note: the pronunciation for the Munka Mantra is this]
Never overuse Mantras, know your limits and stop accordingly (More is NOT better).
The pronunciations for the runic mantras are available on the rune page.
Colors: Different colors have different uses in meditation and energy work, explained here. Important to know.
The Runes: High potential. The runes are often used in God Rituals alongside God Names. Read more here. List of Runes and their uses.
"If one seeks extremely refined, powerful, but also humanly controllable forces (Well not all of them, some are beyond, but they are still 'safe' to use), one needs to look deeper into the Runes instead. Past the 13th rune, the next runes, are "exocosmic" runes, and they deal with grand spiritual concepts. Some runes have all the energies of Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune, without triggering the destructive effects of the raw planetary energy. These people can find on their own study and when they grow into an affinity with Runes. An instance here is the rune Dagaz which helps facilitate true spiritual wisdom. No simple raw energy can do this. The runes are based on complex constellations and were given to humanity by the Gods." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Planetary Mantras: To get the most out of mantras that involve planets, try to use these mantras in accordance with astrology.
Neglecting astrological timings here may give very negative and detrimental results; common sense is advised.
Use the calendar and planetary hours from Astro Apollo to time all of these correctly and read the astrology & timing section present later on in the guide.
Planetary Squares: Planetary Squares are powerful workings that rely on vibrating a certain planetary mantra for a specific period and amount.
These Planetary Squares have all of the rows equal when added together. You can either do the Material or Spiritual version of the square.
These Squares CANNOT BE DONE RANDOMLY, they need the right astrological timing—the perfect dates for them are included on our Astro Apollo astrology calendars.
Shortened versions of the mantras exist for the squares; this shortened version roughly outputs 2/3 of the power of the longer version, most likely worth it for longer squares like the moon and mercury squares.
Answers to common questions about the Planetary Squares by High Priest Hooded Cobra can be found here.
Note: Affirmations are necessary for these squares, as with all other workings! You can do them at the end of the planetary mantras for each day.
A common mistake people make is do material squares for health. Spiritual squares are ideal for health and most of the other functions of the planet.
Even in regard to beauty, Guardian Karnonnos stated that he felt a more deep-reaching effect with the spiritual square (venus). In general, spiritual squares are recommended.
"For healing, spiritual square. Material squares are for the physical realm, but healing is spiritual since it's using spiritual energy to heal. Whereas material would be to, say, get something physical that will help, such as eyeglasses. Which you don't need to do a square for, this is just an example. Interestingly, I did a spiritual Sun square for overall health improvement, and it resulted in me getting laser eye surgery for next to no cost. Magick takes the route it is able to, and you need to be open to possibilities." - High Priestess Lydia

Divination: "Astrology is not the only form of divination - Tarot, Palmistry, Pendulum work, and other forms of divination such as through animals or familiars is also a way to divinate, and if mastered, can give someone extremely potent results." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
A small tarot guide by High Priestess Maxine Dietrich is located here on page 51.
@fuoco blu 666 has also posted a great guide on interpreting the alchemical and spiritual meanings of the tarot here.
Pendulum: Using a Pendulum and Pendulum Practice. Do not use them for communication with the Gods as a beginner; read the quote by Guardian Voice of Enki.
Evocation vs Invocation: Invocation and evocation are terms usually used in summoning spirits. Invocation means summoning the spirit inside yourself and evocation outside yourself.
We also sometimes use the term "invoke" when talking about mantras and similar things, as we "invoke" this energy into ourselves. So this word is not exclusive to direct spirit summoning.
PART 2 IN THE NEXT POST!
The forums are a critical ecosystem of knowledge, there are many things here that have not been elaborated on the main site currently. It is high time for this guide. It is possible that many who have been Zevists for years have not fully understood these concepts. I have made it my task for these past few weeks to assemble the puzzle and present it to you. Posts have a character limit so this guide has to be split into two posts. The second part is directly below this one.
This initial general introduction will be quite philosophical and theoretical—do not let this intimidate you, you'll understand everything eventually and the practical knowledge is detailed in simple terms in the next chapters. So let's get started.
General Introduction to Zevism
We humans run on electricity, bioelectricity to be more precise. This is the "spark" and "vital energy" that keeps us alive; we can survive not eating for hours and not breathing for a few minutes, but without this spark, we are unable to survive. What many do not know, however, is that we are able to raise the level of this bioelectricity within ourselves with many methods—by practicing void meditation, power meditation, breathing exercises, vibrating words of power, yoga, and other exercises. The key to this is to do it safely and effectively, without any redundant asceticism or anything similar—this is the powerful path we have laid out for every Zevist. This bioelectricity is also known as chi/qi and prana, to name a few alternative names.
Our ancestral Gods, throughout many pantheons, have given us this knowledge. They have granted us meditations, spiritual knowledge, wisdom, and other expansive resources to develop ourselves.
These resources were given to us to make us self-sustaining and wise, fit to align with the laws of the universe and win against the natural entropy of the universe.
Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, humanity has gradually deviated from the path of the Gods and disconnected from them.
Nevertheless, there still are groups and religious organizations that keep the path of the Gods a viable path in the modern world, one of which is the Temple of Zeus.
The Temple of Zeus aims to give people correct and practical knowledge and collectively uplift humanity and the community of the Gods.
The Temple of Zeus does not give people false hope or coddle them. It's the Saturnian parent that makes sure its children grow strongly and properly.
Rather than being obsessed with discipline, though, we do in fact recognize and empathize with human nature and the limitations some people possess.
We do not tell or expect people to instantly fix themselves, we aim to give them advice to first free themselves from these limitations and then embark fully upon the path.
We promote physical health and do not repress sexuality.
It's natural to be skeptical of our teachings at first, we do not bash this, but instead, guide you to realize the truth.
We are the few and the elite. We welcome everyone to learn, but we recognize that the givers and builders will remain few.
We do not discriminate among Zevists; everyone is judged by their behavior and contributions. We do not allow any kind of abrahamism here.
People at any age and stage in life can become Zevists—whether 15 or 73—whether from a mid-life crisis or the exploratory curiosity of youth.
Zevists will never dilute their knowledge to please the masses.
You will be given a map, but not everyone will take the journey—this is okay, we will never force anyone.
You do not have to be perfect to be a Zevist; all it takes is the right mindset and the will to achieve your goals.
We Zevists aim to get closer to the Gods and embark upon the journey of knowledge, understanding, and self-mastery on all layers.
We recognize that the many Pagan pantheons throughout history referred to the same Gods through different cultural interpretations.
We do not believe in "dogma" or any subjective rules; we believe in the order and laws of nature itself, and this is encapsulated in our ethics.
The universe and its laws are not what buddhists or other new-age people tell you; we do not believe in "passivity" or nihilism.
We believe in actively developing yourself to face nature and not end up simply helplessly praying in the face of disaster.
We believe in Realism and the need to face and understand the darkest aspects of the universe, existence, and ourselves, in order to find the light.
We are the ones who silently listen to the rhythms of the universe. We are the ones who gaze upon the harmony of the universe in awe and comprehension.
We strive to know and fully understand, internally and externally. We aim to understand ourselves and use this knowledge to improve ourselves.
"Higher or lower, we must seek only reality, most importantly, our inner reality." - Virtue of Realism
At its core, Zevism is mastery of the laws of the universe. These laws have been mastered by our Gods, and they intend to help us understand and embody them.
The highest universal law in Zevism is Truth (Satya). Most people minimize Truth to only be related to one's words; in reality, Truth is more importantly related to our actions, perception, and state of existence. Truth is objectivity itself; it is the unadulterated and pure state of the Universe. Seeking Truth not only means to attain full objectivity, but also, to realize your fullest potential as a Human and as an existence. This means advancement on all layers: physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual. This is the highest virtue that all Gods follow, and this is one of the virtues the Gods are leading you toward. Development on only one layer will lead to long-term stagnation and suffering that could be easily avoided, we must advance on all layers.
In short, Zevism is the Path to self-mastery and harmony with the universe on all layers. It is the Path to connect with your true potential. You will not be alone on this path; the Gods that have created humanity will guide you through this process, with the eventual goal of becoming a God yourself. I am aware, it sounds pretty far-fetched, but keep on reading.
Understanding Sermons
It is a big jump to start reading forum Sermons (writings by the High Priest/ess) without having fundamental occult/spirituality knowledge—it's very important to study the main Temple of Zeus site thoroughly. Each Sermon has unique snippets of wisdom, pieces of the puzzle which slowly unravel to you the more Sermons you read. You will need to go through a phase of much study—everyone here had to go through that. Slowly and gradually, you'll start to understand occult allegories and develop a deep intuition for them and other knowledge.

Introduction to Spiritual Alchemy
All humans possess the natural capability for spiritual advancement within their souls. This potential can be used when you become aware of it and develop it.
Humans possess a complex energetic structure within all layers of their body, much of which is latent.
Processes that awaken, empower, or transform more parts of this complex structure within your body are usually called "alchemy" or "spiritual alchemy".
This "energy structure" is present on what is called the "Astral Body". It is a layer of our spiritual body.
Within this astral body, there exist thousands of energy channels; these are called "Nadi". Our human bodies possess 144,000 Nadis to be exact, with each half of our body possessing 72,000.
Naturally, as many people neglect these more "subtle" spiritual layers, they start to become blocked.
There is one important thing to note: "as above, so below"; all layers of your body affect one another. Whether emotional or physical issues, your spiritual body also gets affected.
This means if you're physically not in shape, this can affect your mental health and vice versa. The same goes for spirituality, if you neglect it you can also feel a backlash on other layers.
We possess energy centers, which we call "Chakras"; these chakras govern different functions within our bodies, ranging from survival instincts (Base Chakra) to spiritual connection (Crown Chakra).
Chakras are the main things we will be working with, they are the backbone of spiritual development. There are 7 Major Chakras and many other minor Chakras. For now, we'll focus on the major ones.
I'll now shortly explain the general roadmap of what we will be doing.
Firstly, to build a good foundation, we need to open these Chakras—this gets the cogs of our spiritual body running. They will not be fully open after these procedures but it will certainly suffice for further development. Opening these Chakras will simply be done by visualization, Mudras (certain finger-hand positions) and "vibrating" a certain Mantra—this basically means vocalizing it in a sustained way, to give an example "AHHHHH-OOOOOO-MMMMMM" is a Mantra for AUM, each syllable should be vocalized for the same amount of time. Don't worry, diagrams visualizing the Chakras will be given later on here.
Secondly, we need to deep-clean our spiritual body. What this will do is clean all of the dirt/dross out of our soul; it releases deep trauma, negative mindsets, and other things.
Not only that, it will also gradually unblock more and more Nadis, unblocking the energy flow of your astral body. Spiritual advancement without this process is like filling a bottle with a huge hole on the bottom.
Worse than that, most people aren't aware that trying to forcefully open energy channels without cleaning them can lead to critical long-term damage. Never do this.
Thankfully, we're doing all of this the safe and correct way so you don't have to worry.
Other than that, as previously mentioned, "as above, so below". We need to work on our physical body too—namely with Hatha Yoga. Yes, physical exercise is part of being healthy and advancing spiritually.
No excuses, you need to touch some grass. You can't be a mage warlord if you cannot move your body. Yoga gets the energy flowing; an unhealthy and inflexible body does not make for good Nadis.
Progressively, we will gradually open and unblock more and more Nadis and empower our astral body.
Of course, another important thing is meditation. One of the biggest fundamentals is "void meditation", a meditation where you keep your thoughts as empty as possible for as long as possible.
This meditation is extremely important when it comes to learning how to focus and build the concentration to direct and program energy (telling energy what to do), this is a fundamental skill we will work on.
The other, more esoteric meditations are based around this—visualizing certain energy centers and directing energy, causing you to move this energy within yourself, even if you can't feel it at the beginning. Don't worry, you're not supposed to instantly feel everything, we are still in the process of unblocking our Nadis, remember?
Contrary to popular belief, the Soul is not eternal and this is strongly tied to reincarnation. The reason we reincarnate is that our innate energy is limited after death.
We cannot advance spiritually in the afterlife because the physical body is necessary for advancing the other layers of our soul. So what we truly are here for is to immortalize the Soul.
This process is called the Magnum Opus, the "Great Work", and attaining this is our main goal. Through this process, the soul and body are unified, and one unites with their "true soul" or "higher self".
""Spiritual advancement" is the sum of the advancement in the material body (Hatha, Pranayama, Kundalini Yoga, physical exercise, setting the joints straight), the mental body (thought, self awareness, knowledge), the intermediate level (Chakras, who are both on the soul and glands on the material body and centers of soul), and on the spiritual (The auric field, the consciousness, projection of the soul, handling the invisible energies). The finalizing of this process is where one is able to save themselves spiritually (not die in the astral) but the last level of this is saving the material body, since it's bonded with the, after practice, immortal soul. [...] Until this process is complete, the Gods salvage us and send us back, where we continue from where we left off." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Structure of this Guide & Preliminary Information
We are now finished with the introduction. After this explanation of the structure of the guide and some more important prefacing information, we will dive deeply into the structure of the spiritual body.
We will describe the proper Chakra alignment, various Chakra extensions, 3 main Nadi, 3 Granthis (places of energy blockages), Kundalini, the Layers of the Soul, and more.
After that, we will go over the practical things, what kind of tools we use for spiritual development, and afterwards, a roadmap on how to practically do this.
Subsequently, we will go over various kinds of our occult, metaphysical, and philosophical Teachings, such as the Afterlife, Mythology, "The One", Harmony, and more (this section is also very important)
Lastly, there will be a forum guide included. To make navigation easier, most of this guide includes hyperlinks in blue to quickly and easily jump to the corresponding Sermon/webpage/topic.
The theory in the next chapters is detailed to give context to the entire guide, you are not intended to fully understand everything on the first reading.
Read it, try to understand it, and move on to the next chapter. After finishing reading the practical roadmap, you can start opening the Chakras and reading these sections more deeply.
Background on the Temple of Zeus: The Temple of Zeus was founded by High Priestess Maxine Dietrich as "Joy of Satan" in 2002. We recognized that the "demons" described in the Ars Goetia are actually our Pagan Gods e.g. Zeus, Anubis, Apollo, Thoth, and more, portrayed in an incorrect manner. The names of the Gods were twisted in the Goetia, so we do not use their naming conventions anymore. As this Temple progressed, our Founding High Priestess discovered and learned new information from the Gods, which most of us now consider fundamental knowledge; this is why there may be some confusion about information contained in the older webpages/Sermons, where some information was not available at the time. The Joy of Satan began being known as the Temple of Zeus on the 12th of February (here) this was a long-awaited decision made to free us from the shackles of limited context and engage with the core Truth and essence of our Gods; the context of "Satan" and the Goetia was created by the enemies of knowledge in the Dark Ages to slander all Pagan Gods and has no historicity to it, we have identified "Satan" with Zeus, Odin, Shiva, and many more Gods from ancient pagan pantheons around the world for decades and this was now decisively affirmed. This process and all the factors behind it are also explained in detail in this video.

The First Step (Dedication): A formal dedication to receive protection from Zeus and the Gods, necessary to advance on the path, can be found here. This rite is the first step. Dabbling can draw the wrong kind of attention from entities that do not desire your advancement. A Guardian Daemon (GD) will be assigned to you (by the Gods themselves, not us or you) once you dedicate.
What is the Point of the Dedication Ritual? (Read this)
Guardian Daemons (GD): Your GD is a God assigned to guide you and help you advance on the Zevist Path. They will be your closest aide—please do not think you can order your GD around randomly, treat them with respect. Your GD is not chosen by you. The Gods do have a hierarchy but it does not matter how "high ranking" your GD is, they are 100% fit to help you and will do so—just please remember to actually do something to advance, do not wait around and expect your GD to "fix" it for you, this is highly disrespectful and not how Zevism works. Connecting with your GD will be one of your priorities.

Structure of the Spiritual Body
General Knowledge (High Priestess Maxine Dietrich):
Each of the seven main chakras has a specific function and power. All the chakras, both major and minor, directly affect the organs of the body that they are in proximity with. This is a reciprocal relationship in regard to one's health, as an unhealthy organ will affect the power of the chakra and vice versa. The serpent lies coiled at the base of the spine beneath the base chakra located at the tailbone. The serpent lies dormant until it is stimulated through power meditation, or in rare cases, it ascends through accident, being either physical injury or other trauma to the area of the tailbone.
Each chakra is in the shape of a small funnel, like a miniature spinning tornado in the shape of a cup. The suit of cups in the Tarot symbolizes the chakras, as each chakra holds energy within its cup. The most important chakra is the solar plexus chakra, which is the Grail. There is also more to Thor's Hammer than just its symbolizing the correct alignment of the chakras. The vibration 'TH' activates the 6th chakra and pineal gland, which is the female counterpart to the solar chakra. The pineal gland secretes the elixir of life, which is stored in the solar chakra, and the vibration for the solar chakra is 'RA.' This is the hidden meaning behind 'THOR', which is another very important spiritual concept. The chakras are always spinning.
The 7 Major Chakras (High Priestess Maxine Dietrich):
The chakras are the powerful energy centers of the soul. Each one has a separate function along with certain specific powers. The health of our chakras affects both our physical, emotional, and mental health. There are different parts of the soul, the chakras are the most important and major part. There are seven major chakras located along the spine that are the most powerful. Each of these chakras vibrates to the frequency of the light spectrum.
Crown Chakra - Jupiter - Feminine - Water: The Crown Chakra is known as the "thousand-petal lotus." The lotus is also known as a lily. Lily = "Lilith." In addition to each Demon as an actual living being, each Demon has his/her own spiritual message. Lilith rules the Crown Chakra. Satan rules the Base Chakra. Both the Base and Crown Chakras are a male and female pair and work together. The crown chakra, known as the "Sahasrara" in Sanskrit, is at the top of the head, right on top. It is violet in color and rules over the brain, the pituitary, and the nervous system. In allegory, its symbol is the thousand-petalled lotus. This symbol goes back to Ancient Egypt. The seventh chakra, when fully activated and opened, induces bliss states. Demons informed me it is ruled by the element of water. This chakra rules over all the psychic senses and is essential to telepathic communication. [...] When this chakra is blocked, one often experiences sensations such as the crawlies, as the serpentine energy is going around this chakra and not through it as it is supposed to.
FUNCTION: Enlightenment
INNER STATE: Bliss, intuition, psychic hearing, and communication [along with the 6th chakra]
6th Chakra - Moon - Feminine - Aether: The sixth chakra, known as the "Ajna" in Sanskrit, is located directly behind the third eye. The third eye is an extension of this chakra and rules the psychic sight. This chakra is the psychic seat of the soul. When the pineal gland within is activated, it will often light up brilliantly, flooding the head with white light, bringing an intense state of extreme bliss along with it. When the pineal is activated, it swells, and there is a feeling of pressure about the size of a grape. The sixth chakra rules over the eyes, both the physical and astral vision, and the pineal gland. It is violet-blue/indigo in color, and its element is the ether. Its metal is silver, and its planet is the Moon. This chakra is where the ida and pingala meet. It contains the all-important pineal gland and is the psychic seat of the soul. In some workings, energy is directed up the spine to the sixth chakra and projected out the third eye, as seen in many Egyptian hieroglyphs.
FUNCTION: Psychic vision
INNER STATE: Intuition, telepathic communications
Third Eye Chakra (extension of the 6th Chakra): The 3rd Eye is directly related to the 6th chakra and the pineal gland. It is located in the middle of the forehead, above the brows, and along with the 6th chakra that sits in the back of the third eye and the pineal gland, it is the psychic sight of the soul. The third eye contains the astral sight. Through the third eye, astral images are transferred to the brain. The third eye is also important in telepathy and influencing others. I have found in willing others, thought energy should strongly be directed to the other person's third eye, even though this cannot be seen. The third eye is receptive to energy directed at it. The third eye, along with the sixth chakra, controls the eyesight, the sinuses, and the skin. It is with the third eye that we can see auras, do scrying, and see energy. The pineal gland and the sixth chakra are behind the third eye. The third eye is the front extension of the 6th chakra. The 6th chakra is where the Ida and Pingala serpents meet. When the kundalini pierces this chakra, it opens the last of the three knots. A flash of light is often experienced when this occurs. Opening the 3rd eye is a major step in consciousness.
Throat Chakra - Mercury - Feminine - Air: The throat chakra, known as the "Visudda" in Sanskrit, rules over the neck, thyroid gland, throat, mouth, voice, ears, hearing, and trachea. This chakra is sky blue in color and rules over verbal communication, intellect, emotions, and self-expression. Truth be known, the throat chakra, not the heart chakra, is the "seat of emotions." When we feel sad, like crying, we get a lump in the throat. The throat chakra is a chakra of creative potential and works with the sacral chakra.
FUNCTION: Verbal communication, emotional self-expression, creativity
INNER STATE: Emotions
Heart Chakra - Venus - Neuter - Fire/Air: The heart chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Anahata," is the neuter connector of the soul; connecting the top three female chakras with the bottom three male chakras. It controls the circulatory system of the soul. The heart chakra is different in that it is shaped like a yoni. The heart chakra rules astral projection.
FUNCTION: The heart chakra is the neuter connector for the upper and lower chakras
INNER STATE: Levity, astral projection
Solar Plexus Chakra/666 Chakra - Sun - Masculine - Fire: The solar plexus chakra is the most important chakra. It is known in Sanskrit as the "Manipura." It is the chakra of the will, and most important, it is the Grail of Lucifer that stores the elixir of life, secreted by the pineal gland. This is where the healing power of the soul emanates. It rules over the digestive system, the stomach, the pancreas, and the muscles. The solar chakra is gold in color and is ruled by the Sun. Its element is fire, and its metal is gold. Here is the chakra one uses to impress one's will when working witchcraft. The solar chakra is the powerhouse of the soul. Its symbol is the Swastika.
FUNCTION: This chakra is the powerhouse of the soul; will, power, manipulation
INNER STATE: Willpower, timing. This chakra is the Grail of Lucifer
Sacral Chakra - Mars - Masculine - Water: The sacral chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Svadisthana," is also known as the sexual chakra. This chakra is orange in color and controls sexual lust, along with the sexual and reproductive organs, the lower abdomen, and kidneys. Its element is water, and its metal is iron. It is ruled over by the planet Mars. It influences pleasure, indulgence, sexuality, and creativity. The sacral and solar chakras empower workings of sex magick. [...] Sexual orgasm, which is essential to everyone's physical, psychological, and emotional health, is what activates the serpent and fully opens this chakra.
FUNCTION: Sexuality, pleasure, procreation, creativity, the seat of sexual energy.
INNER STATE: Creative Potential
Base Chakra - Saturn - Masculine - Earth: The base/root chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Muladhara," controls the bowels, the bladder, lower colon, legs, and adrenal glands. This chakra is red in color. Its element is earth, and its metal is lead. It is ruled by the planet Saturn. This chakra gives stability and grounding, and rules over the survival and basic instincts. The base chakra gives us the will to survive, and the sense of security. Anger and rage emanate from this chakra, thus the phrase "seeing red." The first three chakras are the most influential in workings of magick, making things projected by the upper female chakras to manifest in reality.
FUNCTION: Survival, grounding
INNER STATE: Stability
On this chart we can see all the main Chakras. Don't worry about all the additional information on the chart, it will be explained later on.
The MAUM-LAUM on the right side describe all the corresponding mantras for each chakra.
Feminine chakras absorb energy. The masculine chakras project energy.
"Saturn also does not solely rule the Base Chakra." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 (Could not find a clarification here)
Important Note: Chakra Opening exercises do not fully open your Chakras by themselves.
They are powerful to open them, but your Chakras take years to fully open.
How to Open the Chakras
Chakra Alignment
The Chakras are not "wheels"; they are pyramid-shaped, outputting energy with their sharp point and intaking energy with its flat base. These points can also be called "Bindu". Here we have the correct alignment.
On the depiction on the left, we have the sideways view of the Chakras; we can clearly see the extensions of the Chakras on the front and back of the body respectively.
These extensions are drawing energy into the body (center), the center of the body is where the energy flow of the Chakras interacts with one another.
The Heart Chakra is the neuter (genderless) connector of the upper and lower Chakras. It is shaped like a diamond.
The alignment as seen on the picture in the middle and the middle of the body on the left picture is the proper alignment of the Chakras themselves.
"When directing energy as you would for spell work, and other workings of the mind, the chakras can be temporarily reversed so their points are facing out to deliver the energy. Remember, never connect with any negative energy, such as when working black magick. In other words, the negative energy should never run through you, but be external at all times. When working with positive energy, such as attracting your desires, it is favorable to point the chakras out and connect. Always remember to correctly realign your chakras after any work. Incorrect alignment of the chakras reduces your [...]power. [bioelectricity, etc.]"
"To open the minor chakras, it is important that you have already opened the major chakras and have established an energy flow that you can feel."
The Hip, Shoulder, and Temple Chakras
Shoulder Chakras - Extension of the Heart Chakra - How to Open
Temple Chakras - Extension of the 6th Chakra - How to Open
Hip Chakras - Extension of the Sacral Chakra - How to Open
These are not at the "front" when seen sideways, they are in the middle. i.e., the middle of the hips, shoulders.
This is more visible on the image for the Temple Chakras.
All of these are pointed inwards to the center of the body.
The functions of these 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, etc. Chakras above the Crown has not been explained yet. (and these likely should not matter to you if you haven't mastered the 7 main Chakras yet)
Many people neglect their Hand and Feet Chakras; these are important and should be opened after the Shoulder, Temple, and Hip Chakras.
Strong Hand/"Palm" Chakras are needed, especially if one wants to do Energy Projection, Telekinesis, or Healing, for example. - How to Open
The feet not only ground us symbolically but also energetically, they draw in energy into our body; keep your Feet Chakras strong. - How to Open
In general, all minor Chakras should be opened after opening the 7 Major Chakras and the Shoulder, Temple, Hip, Palm/Hand, and Feet Chakras.
It's important to have your shoulder and heart chakra open properly, as this makes the energy flow to the palms/hands much better. Here's a hand chakra meditation by Guardian Voice of Enki.
Wings of the Soul - Important Minor Chakras on our upper back
"To open each of these minor chakras, just focus on them and visualize them opening up like a star and getting brighter. This may have to be done for several meditation sessions before they are permanently opened. The points are the same for both sides of the head. As you advance, you can do "chakra breathing," where you absorb energy with each inhale and slightly expand and brighten each chakra you are focusing on, upon the exhale."
More minor chakras can be found here.
The 3 Main Nadi
We have 3 main Nadis (energy channels). The first two are associated with the Sun (Pingala) and the Moon (Ida), and the third one, the Sushumna, is a bit more complex.
Ideally, the Ida and Pingala work in unison without any form of imbalance; this can be achieved through specific breathing and meditation exercises.
Ida - Moon, Feminine, Negative Polarity
Pingala - Sun, Masculine, Positive Polarity
Ida/Pingala Dominance: Some males can be more Ida dominant and this can manifest in their behavior (feminine, nurturing, caring, etc.) and vice versa (masculine behaving females per Pingala dominance).
It's important to note that this can happen to anyone and is completely natural; you're still your biological gender. More on this here. Sex/Gender does not change throughout lifetimes.
Meditations to Balance Ida/Pingala: Alternative Nostril (Sun-Moon) Breath - Advanced Meditations: RAUM Meditation, King & Queen Meditation (Complete Version)
Sushumna - The central channel, the door and place of the kundalini energy, "Hermaphrodite". Mostly inactive for now, do not try to force this channel to activate.
"There is no actual point to 'open' the sushumna, just to get the energy of it going. Basically, it is a hollow, energetically speaking, space. One cannot simply 'open' it. It's like a vacuum.
Also, to keep stable sanity, do not do strange and bizarre experiments, and go for the natural development with the Serpent." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Now, spiritually speaking, we know there are three channels. In the female body, the left and right walls of the vagina, and the whole vagina, all connect to the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna accordingly. The same goes for the head of the phallus. The head of the Phallus is the gate to the sushumna, the sides of the Ida and Pingala accordingly. [...] The anus of both genders deals with the sushumna, the central channel."
Kundalini
The Kundalini Serpent is a mysterious power located at the base of our spine. All of the world's highest occult mysteries lead to this force.
When awakened, it tries to rise through all our Chakras through the sushumna channel. Forcing this prematurely can cause lasting or even permanent damage.
Awakening this safely is one of our main priorities for spiritual advancement. A physically strong and flexible body is needed to handle this force.
"Kundalini/bio-electricity is hot like molten lead. A warm sensation at the base of your tailbone could be felt.
All of the chakras must be completely open and unobstructed. The serpent will ascend, piercing through each chakra.
For some people, this is as hot as a glowing iron. One must stay focused and direct the energy out of the crown chakra."
Three Granthis
There exist 3 specific points in our body that are major blocks for the Kundalini Serpent. These are called the 3 Granthis.
The first one is located in the base chakra, the second one in the heart chakra, and the third one in the sixth chakra/pineal gland.
We unblock these points by working on the chakra extensions surrounding the chakra. It's important to start from the 3rd Granthis (on the pineal gland) and go down from there.
These are unblocked with the Watchtower meditation. The Mantras used on the page are outdated. Below is a diagram with the updated meditation and mantras.
On the Numerology of the Nadi
"24 (Number of the Alphabet) is also 24x3 = 72. Which is essentially 24x6 forming 144.
The 24x3 is unlocking the Granthis on the left side of the pillar, this equals 72 (The Ida).
The other 24x3 is unlocking the Granthis on the right side of the pillar, which also equals 72 (The Pingala).
These total 144 locations on the human body, constituting the universe.
There are 3 Knots or Granthis in the body. Evenly distributed on the left and right side of the soul.
The True 72 number deals with bringing down these obstacles and manifesting the Ida and Pingala parts of the Soul at full. This is done by Solar Mantras, which break off the dross and open up the pathways. Which is a very basic objective of meditation. When these are clean, you have 72 on one side, 72 on the other, or more accurately, 72,000 and 72,000 clean Nadis.
Making a whole of 144,000 Nadis. This makes you a complete soul. Which is the objective of meditation." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
The Astral Plane & Death
Before jumping into the sections on the layers of the soul, I will have to explain some topics more deeply.
Different parts of our soul/body exist on different layers of existence at once. Everyone might not be able to perceive them with their eyes, however, we are able to feel them under certain circumstances.
The "spirit realm" or the "afterlife" exists on a layer of existence called the Astral. A part of our soul called the Astral Body exists there right now, even if our physical body is alive and located here on Earth.
When we die, the cord connecting our astral body to our physical body snaps, and this causes us to abandon our physical bodies and take on the form of our astral body in the astral plane consciously.
Zevists at the moment of death are safely escorted to a safe haven by the Gods, this is depicted as the "Duat" in Egypt or "Hades". (More on that later in the "Afterlife" section)
The astral consists of many different levels, which correspond to your own "vibrational level"; you can think of it as your own emotional and spiritual advancement level.
The lower this level, the closer you are to the physical. Many different negative entities exist on the lower levels of the astral, corresponding to lower vibrational levels of individuals. Zevists are protected from these, but others who willfully deny the Gods may not, as the Gods respect free will. The Gods do help and lead good souls, regardless of Zevist affiliation, so no worries there, good souls will be protected.
People often ask if their family members can be guided by the Gods in the afterlife (even if they weren't Zevists). Free will plays a big role here, but the best thing you could do is pray to the Gods of the Afterlife, e.g., Lord Anubis and Lady Nephthys, and do their God Rituals.
Oftentimes, people can instantly be reincarnated after death. People who deny this process consciously can tie themselves closely to the physical, and this is where the concepts of ghosts come from, i.e., souls who don't want to reincarnate, whether consciously or subconsciously. People who do not possess a physical body will slowly dissipate after death (speed depending upon spiritual advancement) in the astral if they decide not to reincarnate. This dissipation is the true and permanent soul death; it is the return into the Aether, and this happens when the innate energy of your soul runs out.
Astral projection is the process of consciously using your astral body to travel around the astral plane (while having the astral body still attached to your physical body with the cord).
This is an advanced practice and has no benefits for beginners compared to meditation. Focus on cleaning and empowering your astral body instead, so if you do decide to project, it's much better and safer.
Here's a Sermon from the High Priest on Astral Projection.
Concentration & Thoughtforms
When we concentrate on a specific layer of our soul, we connect/become aware of this. When we meditate, we connect with the forces of nature, and this nurtures our soul.
Millions of people who strongly believe in a certain afterlife create this afterlife themselves. Directing your thoughts and feelings at something directs energy at it, and so, the collective belief of millions of humans and its directed energy are shaping a form of existence on the astral. Abrahamic "Hell" is an example here. Landing up in these artificial "afterlives" created by beliefs does not magically make the dissipation process of your soul stop. Entities created by thoughts are called Thoughtforms; these can be sovereign/rogue beings or ones intentionally created and under the control of a mage.
Thoughtforms should not be created by beginners, they are included in the intermediate section of the witchcraft/magick section.
Dross & Soul Imprints
Our soul has survived much, whether strongly positive or negative experiences and thoughts, some can be imprinted upon our soul.
Whether hang-ups or cognitive bias, these things shape the course of our lives daily and unapologetically; some of them can stem from these imprints.
These imprints can get stored in our chakras and other parts of our spiritual bodies and continue to manifest negative events and feelings throughout our lives, possibly even into our next lives.
They are removed by karma cleansing mantras and solar mantras, namely Munka and Surya, among others.
Karma
Karma is divided into two aspects, Material Karma (Hereditary) and Soul Karma (State and Imprints of your Soul)
The Material Karma is inherited from your parents, this is also connected to "racial karma", more on this here.
We believe that evolution is also tied to perfecting this Material Karma; making sure we all stay healthy genetically.
Soul Karma is the sum of your spiritual advancement and the state and imprints of your spiritual bodies.
The vicious cycle of spiritual ignorance has led to the point that we are kept in the loops of being burdened by the negative imprints of this Soul Karma, as we have never been taught how to cleanse it.
This in itself constitutes most of what people perceive Karma to be; they are not being "punished" but are rather experiencing a natural consequence of neglecting spiritual hygiene.
All of this is explained in more detail within the "Dealing with Astral Entities" Sermon Series by High Priest Hooded Cobra.
There are newer Sermons that aren't included in that PDF, you can search for them here on the forums.
Now, when we're talking about a more cosmic/universal kind of Karma, this is simply the factor of your alignment with the universe and its laws.
These laws are quite complex, and they will not be explained in detail here. Another broad meaning of Karma is the principle of cause and effect.
The Layers of the Body/Soul
This has not been fully explained yet. "I will not go into many details to this yet as it will be when Azazel [Apollo] gives the OK on that" - 2019, High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
I will try my best to present all available knowledge here. There is a bit of conflicting information regarding this.
Our soul, broadly, is all of the layers/parts of our soul summed up.
"There are several different aspects that make up the human soul. The aura, the light body, the chakras, the ethereal double [the ghost that takes on the image of the physical body], and the intelligence/consciousness. The human soul is also made up of the elements fire, earth, air, water, and quintessence [aether]. [...] The human soul can be divided at will during meditation.
This is what occurs with deliberate astral projection or involuntary "out of the body" experiences. Just as the soul can be divided, it can be reunited at will. The soul can be merged with the soul of another person.
The aura can be expanded and contracted at will. It can be programmed to attract or repel anything at will. The aura can be programmed by will to act upon the aura of another for better or worse.
Each aspect of the soul can be meditated upon separately and empowered. Each aspect can invoke and hold each of the elements. This is very advanced and can be dangerous if one does not know what one is doing. [...] The above, I write from my own direct experiences and not theory." - High Priestess Maxine in Aspects of the Soul
The Astral Body: "The body that one activates when one meditates. This is the body that houses the chakras and the seat of the life force. However, the life force doesn't only exist in this body."
The Aura: Extends from the Life force/Bioelectricity
Light Body: Shapeless but visualized as the internal counterpart to the aura. Exact functions and other properties have not been stated.
This next part is mainly recollecting the information from this (truly amazing) Sermon, but also the "Dealing with Astral Entities" series and this Sermon, all by High Priest Hooded Cobra, truly a treasure.
All of these should be fully read to comprehend all of this on a deep manner.
Lower part of the Astral Body
Masculine/Active/Ego/Conscious Soul: The conscious, "the Ego", active part of the Soul, gets wiped upon reincarnation.
Feminine/Inactive/Subconscious Soul: The subconscious, passive part of the Soul, "door to the higher part of the mind"
Higher part of the Astral Body
Unconscious/ID/Higher Self/Kundalini Soul: The "True Soul", "Real Soul", or "Higher Self". Stores all past life memories.
Becomes more and more connected to the other parts of the Soul as the astral body becomes empowered.
"The Astral body is the link between the Higher Part of the Soul, the Real Soul, and the conscious/dream bodies that we have, that is dimensionally higher than the present 'ego' and is touched when one is advancing in meditation."
The Astral Body stores the Conscious (Pingala Consciousness), Subconscious (Ida Consciousness), and Unconscious (Kundalini/Sushumna Consciousness) Souls.
The Male part of the Astral Body contains the Conscious Soul, the Female part of the Astral Body contains the Subconscious and Unconscious Souls.
This union between both the Subconscious and Conscious Soul awakens the Unconscious Soul/Kundalini/Sushumna channel.
This union/fusion happens by empowering our astral body.
The male part of the astral body contains a part called the "mental body" which links both parts and lets the male part of the astral body communicate with the female part.
When one reincarnates, the Ego/Conscious Soul is wiped and replaced by a new one given by your parents.
As above, so below. Empowering your physical body causes you to empower your astral body.
"The raising of the Serpent unites the Male part of the Soul [the "Ego" one has in every lifetime] with the female part of the Soul [that remains only half intact after reincarnation, because as we are young it gets programmed by others - this is the door to the higher part of the mind] and they both unite and fuse with the Higher Self/ Kundalini part of the Soul [in which the real Soul ID that existed in all lifetimes and so forth, the real self exists]. The Rising of the Serpent is the ground upon which the True Self of all lifetimes is experienced and is becoming reality. When this happens, the door is being opened and is accessible to this higher self, for whatever purposes. You might think this is the end, but in reality, it's the new beginning." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"The Male part of the Soul is directly linked to the Mental body, which is the link between the Male and Female parts of the Astral body. There is no "Mental body" on its own, its rather a part of the Male Astral body, but at the same time, what is called "mental body" communicates with the Female part of the Astral body, that contains the Subconscious and Unconscious parts of the Soul." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Life force can be divided into two categories: The one that comes from heredity and the physical body, and the one they have in their Soul.
This is why the physical body itself has a set time of existence from the time it is born, or why certain people are born spiritually powerful but are not really into spirituality, same as people who are born muscular without ever having lifted weights. This is also genetic." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"Typically, Racial Theory for the Pythagoreans was an analysis that took around anywhere from 15 to 30 years in people knowing the astral in and out to understand." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
"The Egyptian people have figured out as the Gods related to them, that CONSCIOUSNESS is everything. What's so important about CONSCIOUSNESS however? We can also call "CONSCIOUSNESS", as "ATTENTIVENESS". Attentiveness means the simple thing; I pay attention, as a conscious entity. This means, that one pays attention to what is happening "around" or "within". This insight, through meditation, gives insight and control over the "automatic" processes of the female part of the Soul or Mind, which directly tie into "Karma". If one does not attend on these, the Soul can actually wither away and die, and one's whole existence will be a programmed loop, until they stop existing. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
(?) High Priest Hooded Cobra refers to male and female sides of the soul and male and female sides of the astral body, it is unclear what exactly this difference is.
"Disease usually manifests in the soul/astral body before symptoms occur in the physical body. This is almost always due to poor energy/chi circulation to the organ/s or a cut-off of a pathway due to an accident or injury." - High Priestess Maxine Dietrich
The 4 Corners, "Crowned Princes", and Pillars of the Soul
Confusing chapter ahead! (This chapter is simply here for reference)
"When the human soul is correctly aligned, it is in the shape of an inverted cross. This is the hidden meaning of "Thor's Hammer." The cross shape of the human soul is represented by the "Four Quarters," the "Four Directions," and the Four Crowned Princes of Hell in rituals.
- The front of the body/soul is the North, ruled by the element of earth.
- The rear/backside of the body is the South, ruled by the element of fire.
- The left side of the body is the Negative Pole. Through the left hand, we take in energy. The left side is ruled over by the element of water and is the direction west.
- The right side is the Positive Pole, which is ruled over by the element of air and is the direction east. We direct energy through our right hand.
- The element of Quintessence/Aether is in the center, and in the aura.
- Fire and Air are electric.
- Water and Earth are magnetic." - High Priestess Maxine Dietrich

The Four Corners/Directions & Pillars of the Soul - IAEO
The 4 Pillars have to do with the following: Fire is the Spirit, Water is the Soul, Air is the Intelligence (pure intellectuality), Earth is the physical body.
All the pillars meet in the middle point, which is the Sushumna, the Aether and is all the above unified. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
When one connects to the "Four Letter Name" or "IAEO" which is a symbol for the Pillars of the Soul [4 Pillars] one eventually creates the "Temple of God" in where "God" or the consciousness of the universe can reside. [...] Zeus, was also referred to as the force of IAEO or IAO, a symbol for the trine power of the Universe and the Four Quarters and directions of existence. - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Both I-O and A-E are pairs. This may be overreaching, but I believe that the A-E pair might have something to do with the name EA (One of Father Zeus' names in Akkadian)
Advanced Aura of Protection Utilizing the 4 Pillars (Given to Guardian Voice of Enki by Astarte/Aphrodite)
These pillars are also related to the Chakra extensions and are visible in the Sigils of the Gods.
Sigils
Through the goetia grimoire, Sigils to summon various Gods were given, while these are often used by the enemy, they are real and authentic and valid to use for communication with our Gods.
There are some Sigils that aren't given or remain private, these are private for a reason. Do not use Sigils that aren't listed on ToZ. This includes Lady Lilith's Sigil.
Never draw circles around these sigils; this signifies "binding" something. That is the reason they were included with circles around them in the enemy's works.
If you wish to get closer to a certain God, you may meditate upon their sigil and do their God Ritual (If one exists). God Rituals are talked about in the later parts of this guide.
"The Sigils are original alchemical symbols of Sumerian origin. What is going to happen is that the Sigils are going to be put under the correct Name and identity of the God they represent.
Restoration and correction and then we move on with the correct materials." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666

Trine Force & Trinity
Zev (Ζευ), Dias (Δίας), Zinas (Ζήνας). - Union, Division, Life.
Hades (Underworld), Poseidon (Earth), Zeus (Heaven/Elysium)
Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu.
AUM.
There exist many trinities in mythology and occultism, some of which are related to the so-called "trine force" of the universe.

The Trine Force of the Universe can be represented as - IAO (I - Masculine, A - Union/Hermaphrodite, O - Feminine,)
Our Tools for Advancement
After this section comes the practical roadmap. It's ideal to get familiar with the tools first, so please read this and then the next section.
Meditation: We practice power meditation. By practicing meditation, we gradually align more with the universe, gain control over our spiritual bodies, get more powerful, and our concentration skills rise. Our website has a dedicated section for meditations & energy work exercises here. Please start with the beginner exercises—do NOT skip them—they are the basis and fundamentals for advancement.
Void meditation is an extremely important thing one has to master—always include it in your routine. Problems with trance? Try this.
Excuses About Meditation - And It's Necessity
MOST IMPORTANT SECTION
Breathing Exercises: "Yogic breathing exercises are some of the most powerful ways of amplifying the [vital energy/bioelectricity]" Read more here.
Chakras: Our bodies contain energy centers—Chakras—a general introduction to them is detailed here—visual diagrams can be found here. We must clean our Chakras, open them, and empower them. Opening the Chakras is the initial step. They are described in detail in the "Structure of the Spiritual Body" section of this guide. We work on these Chakras to advance spiritually.
Please read High Priest Hooded Cobra's Sermon on Chakra work.
Magick: Magick is not woo woo, it exists and everyone can utilize it to become a better and more powerful person. This is quite literally the power to change your "destiny"; you DO have it inside of you. Please go through the "information" section here.
Knowledge: Knowledge is key to advancement. The sites, forums, and the Sermons and responses from Clergy here are immensely valuable, never underestimate this.
Karma & Cleansing: Necessary for your advancement! Removes negative energetic imprints, improves your energy sense, among many other great benefits.
Cleansing unblocks your energy channels—without doing this, you are pouring water into a cup filled with holes, and all workings are much less powerful.
Doing at least 1 Munka (karmic cleansing) working should be obligatory.

God Rituals: Various rituals for our Gods and other purposes are present on our ritual website; these are not only prayers for the Gods, they are actually very beneficial to YOU.
Yes, they are not merely about praying to our Gods, they are also there to empower the various aspects these Gods represent within ourselves (more about that here).
Regarding God Rituals (Must be read before doing them for the first time) - High Priestess Lydia
High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 on the 72 Goetic Daemons:
"These 72 Gods primarily symbolize the untapped potentials also inside each soul
So the choice of 72 Gods to desecrate goes deeper, it's an in-depth occult choice by the enemy
Long story short, to lock key areas of understanding in the human soul.
If you divide the full circle (360) by 5 (5 elements) you get 72.
So the year is divided by 72, because each of these, works to rectify an element of the soul and one element from the soul. [...]
[Question] If some of these 72 Gods were born as humans, then did these potentials of the soul correspond to other Gods before they achieved their Godhood? And the days they represent too?
The potential is already within the only question is tapping it.
The degree of tapping it, wisdom, evolution etc, is the degree of how close one is to the Godhead.
By the end of all the 72 + extra Daemon Rituals what we will have, is essentially a yearly schedule, for working all these aspects of the soul to accelerate evolution + venerate the Gods.
That's why these exist in the first place and that's what these do."

Quote by Guardian @Voice of Enki [TG] explaining the dangers of miscommunication with the Gods—must be read.
"You pray to [...] Zeus, to send you help for let's say, coding on your computer (this is a topic ruled over by Thoth)
"What" God will be sent is not relevant, this is up to the office of the Gods (they can send a minor Daemon, answer directly, or send another one) but in the end of the day, you will get your help.
When you open up more, you can know the details of this, and that's the whole point. But fundamentally, the Gods operate as a large family of distinct entities that cover each their post, and operate as "One".
For example, if I call the "government" for fixing lightbulbs in the street, not necessarily the President will arrive, but the presidential mandate will send the lightbulb expert electrician.
The only thing I see is that the Government responded." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 Explaining How the Gods Respond
Ethics: When we talk about Ethics in the Temple of Zeus, we do not mean slavish and human-made rules, but rather, rules that are naturally created by the Universe itself.
Following and applying them guarantees that you exponentially channel/utilize more power due to your alignment with the Universe itself.
These are not merely sophistry; please do study and contemplate upon them: Ethics of the Gods
Why are there Ethics in Zevism?
Deprogramming: There are cognitive patterns and trauma that are holding us back from truly healing; we need to recognize, understand, and free ourselves from them. Some of these naturally subside when one starts cleansing workings, however, a lot still stays buried within. You need to free yourself from being controlled and manipulated by others, whether that be by anger or other emotions. Rebellious instincts are natural and valid, however, we must keep a logical and rational mind. Anger itself is not the issue here, but rather, the loss of control associated with it.
Affirmations: Energy needs to be directed/programmed; affirmations (alongside visualization) are commonly used for this. You ALWAYS need affirmations for what you want energy to do.
An example would be "I am now healthy, productive, and motivated" or "All of my Chakras are now functioning optimally". Affirmations should be in the present tense.
Mantras & Words of Power: We use specific mantras/words of power to create internal changes within our energetic and spiritual bodies. Each mantra has its own purpose and aligns you with something. Some of these mantras should not be used by beginners and can cause lasting damage; only use mantras vetted by Clergy. To check for this, search the specific mantra here on the forums. HPS Lydia has given guidance and vetted specific mantras in forum responses before. Do NOT vibrate the names of Gods as a beginner, unless directly doing a God Ritual. DO NOT "EXPERIMENT" WITH GOD NAMES OR MANTRAS IN GENERAL! We're very worried about people accidentally hurting themselves with these. Never use the banishing mantra that starts with "V" on yourself; it can damage your soul—beginners shouldn't use it at all.
How to Vibrate Mantras: Mantras are vibrated in a sustained way. Pronounce each syllable with equal length.
Here's a small list of "safe" and approved mantras (they're safe as long as you don't overdo it):
Munka - destroys negative karma - this is a cleansing and purification mantra, highly recommended to do at least once during your lifetime - used in the freeing the soul working
Ansuz (Runic) - removes obstacles and bindings (has many more uses) - used in the freeing the soul working - read more about this rune here.
Sananda (Sanskrit) - energy "purifier" - the mantra means "joy" in Sanskrit. It can be used to cleanse areas e.g. your house or room. It will make them feel pleasant.
It can also be used on yourself to cleanse yourself and embody "joy". Please try this mantra if you feel depressed or anything similar.
Wunjo (Runic) - very positive rune used in healing (including mental health-related issues) - read more about this rune here.
Surya (Solar) - cleansing - a solar (sun) mantra that can be used for cleansing.
Raum (Solar) - cleansing - another solar mantra
Uruz (Runic) - energy, vigor - can be beneficial to raise energy - read more about this rune here.
Sowilo (Runic/Solar) - energy, willpower - can be beneficial to raise energy - read more about this rune here.
All runes (except for hagl/hagalaz) are pretty much safe to use, within measure, of course.
Mantras related to planets should be timed accordingly. for example: Surya is a mantra of the Sun, Sunday is the day of the Sun. You do the mantra at the hour of the Sun and on Sunday—this amplifies its power.
Please keep in mind that planetary positions affect how these manifest and work; not every Sunday is ideal when the Sun is in a "bad" position itself.
[Note: the pronunciation for the Munka Mantra is this]
Never overuse Mantras, know your limits and stop accordingly (More is NOT better).
The pronunciations for the runic mantras are available on the rune page.
Colors: Different colors have different uses in meditation and energy work, explained here. Important to know.
The Runes: High potential. The runes are often used in God Rituals alongside God Names. Read more here. List of Runes and their uses.
"If one seeks extremely refined, powerful, but also humanly controllable forces (Well not all of them, some are beyond, but they are still 'safe' to use), one needs to look deeper into the Runes instead. Past the 13th rune, the next runes, are "exocosmic" runes, and they deal with grand spiritual concepts. Some runes have all the energies of Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune, without triggering the destructive effects of the raw planetary energy. These people can find on their own study and when they grow into an affinity with Runes. An instance here is the rune Dagaz which helps facilitate true spiritual wisdom. No simple raw energy can do this. The runes are based on complex constellations and were given to humanity by the Gods." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
Planetary Mantras: To get the most out of mantras that involve planets, try to use these mantras in accordance with astrology.
Neglecting astrological timings here may give very negative and detrimental results; common sense is advised.
Use the calendar and planetary hours from Astro Apollo to time all of these correctly and read the astrology & timing section present later on in the guide.
Planetary Squares: Planetary Squares are powerful workings that rely on vibrating a certain planetary mantra for a specific period and amount.
These Planetary Squares have all of the rows equal when added together. You can either do the Material or Spiritual version of the square.
These Squares CANNOT BE DONE RANDOMLY, they need the right astrological timing—the perfect dates for them are included on our Astro Apollo astrology calendars.
Shortened versions of the mantras exist for the squares; this shortened version roughly outputs 2/3 of the power of the longer version, most likely worth it for longer squares like the moon and mercury squares.
Answers to common questions about the Planetary Squares by High Priest Hooded Cobra can be found here.
Note: Affirmations are necessary for these squares, as with all other workings! You can do them at the end of the planetary mantras for each day.
A common mistake people make is do material squares for health. Spiritual squares are ideal for health and most of the other functions of the planet.
Even in regard to beauty, Guardian Karnonnos stated that he felt a more deep-reaching effect with the spiritual square (venus). In general, spiritual squares are recommended.
"For healing, spiritual square. Material squares are for the physical realm, but healing is spiritual since it's using spiritual energy to heal. Whereas material would be to, say, get something physical that will help, such as eyeglasses. Which you don't need to do a square for, this is just an example. Interestingly, I did a spiritual Sun square for overall health improvement, and it resulted in me getting laser eye surgery for next to no cost. Magick takes the route it is able to, and you need to be open to possibilities." - High Priestess Lydia

Divination: "Astrology is not the only form of divination - Tarot, Palmistry, Pendulum work, and other forms of divination such as through animals or familiars is also a way to divinate, and if mastered, can give someone extremely potent results." - High Priest Hooded Cobra 666
A small tarot guide by High Priestess Maxine Dietrich is located here on page 51.
@fuoco blu 666 has also posted a great guide on interpreting the alchemical and spiritual meanings of the tarot here.
Pendulum: Using a Pendulum and Pendulum Practice. Do not use them for communication with the Gods as a beginner; read the quote by Guardian Voice of Enki.
Evocation vs Invocation: Invocation and evocation are terms usually used in summoning spirits. Invocation means summoning the spirit inside yourself and evocation outside yourself.
We also sometimes use the term "invoke" when talking about mantras and similar things, as we "invoke" this energy into ourselves. So this word is not exclusive to direct spirit summoning.
