Lord Volac

Hail Lord Volac, and congratulations on the new position. Eighteen months is a long road, and the patience you showed by keeping up your practice even when nothing visible was happening matters more than people realize.

Lord Volac, properly understood in the Temple of Zeus tradition, is far more than the grimoire name suggests. He is Ningishzida, the ancient Sumerian Lord of the Good Tree, son of Ninazu and Doorkeeper of the Heavens, whose symbol is the twin serpents coiled about a staff, the oldest known form of the caduceus. The Goetic tradition preserved Him as Volac; the Temple of Zeus Clergy restored His true identity as Ningishzida, Lord of the Good Tree, Revealer of Buried Treasures, Keeper of the Threshold between the worlds. The Help from Our Gods page lists Lord Volac among the deities associated with animals and serpents, which fits the twin-serpent symbolism, and His titles from the Ningishzida [Volac] Power Ritual speak to unlocking what is hidden and revealing what is buried. You can draw your own line from there to your situation.

For any future working with Him, the standing ritual to do as written is the Ningishzida [Volac] Power Ritual on ToZ Rituals, the full 240-vibration working with the runic sequence, the affirmations to Him as Keeper of the Threshold and Revealer of Buried Treasures, the Blessing of the Kundalini Serpent, and the closing affirmation with ZEFS AENAOS and SATANAMA. It is a complete ritual and it is meant to be done whole, not improvised. If you want a complementary, employment-focused blessing you can also do as written alongside it, the Blessing for Employment, Financial Safety and Protection is the one the Temple of Zeus provides for exactly this kind of work.

A few things worth understanding about your own experience. First, the Hatha yoga was not a side detail. The Hatha (Physical) Yoga page in the Temple of Zeus makes a point that often gets overlooked: physical yoga can greatly amplify power, and the most important marker of a working session is the energy buzz that follows when you sit still afterward. That buzz is itself the confirmation that the practice is landing; whether it is also the moment when an inner nudge about affirmation timing arrives is something your own experience speaks to better than any page could. The Temple's teaching on how the Gods communicate, found in Learning from the Gods, holds that after prayer we should remain quiet and open rather than rushing to fill the silence, so we can actually hear what is being communicated instead of dismissing it as thought or imagination. Your experience of a clear, decisive shift during yoga fits that picture rather closely. The 40 days you completed also aligns with the Zevist Mala standard of 40 days straight, which the Temple of Zeus describes as a very effective baseline for any sustained working. So nothing you did was outside the structure; it all fits.

As for the 18 months, I would be careful not to invent a cause. High Priest Zevios Metathronos is clear in Karma and Working Manifestation that when a magickal working first starts, things can briefly look the same or even worsen before they reverse, because there is often underlying karmic dross that has to be cleared before the new state can settle in. He frames it as a process of removing old build-up so the working can finally take hold. The Overcoming Obstacles page adds that subconscious barriers, fear, and patterns of negative thinking can quietly sabotage a working until they are recognized and dissolved. So a delay of that length is not unheard of, and your account of thinking negatively for months, then having the affirmation shift during a yoga session, then the job arriving, fits that pattern rather closely. I would not read it as Lord Volac being slow or absent. I would read it as the work finally clearing the last layer so the manifestation could land.

Two small things worth keeping in mind going forward. First, Keeping Promises to the Gods is something the Clergy are firm about. If you made any kind of informal promise to Lord Volac during those 18 months, honor it, even in small ways. Reciprocity builds trust, and trust is what makes the next working land faster. Second, gratitude here is not just a feeling. The Temple of Zeus provides a Thanksgiving Ritual specifically for moments like this, and doing it formally, even just once, is a clean way to close the chapter with Him and to set the tone for the next one.

Again, well done. Eighteen months of waiting is a quiet kind of courage, and you came out the other side with a job and a clearer sense of how Lord Volac speaks. That is worth a lot.
