Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
I hope you are all well. I wished to give my testimonial, and a few bits of a summary I can provide.
My dedication ceremony was performed over 10 years ago, though previous to that, I had stumbled upon the Joy of Satan Ministries through searching for Lord Belial while having been looking into black metal and folk metal at that time. I had found some details on Lord Belial, though, further than that, as I understand others here may have felt awe, I was stunned in what I had found here.
I cannot really say I was not scared, for the longest time. This took a long time to grow out of. Not in just the fact that I came from a background where xianity was heavily pushed on me. Ultimately it was what seemed as the unknown, and later, really not wanting to let the Gods down, and wishing to know I was doing the right thing and making the right choices. Though despite all the worrying, I made the choice to dedicate 2 years after I found the JoS Ministries and had studied into the information to what I felt was thorough enough. The missing puzzle pieces fit together, though with the new information provided here, everything only makes more sense especially with what I have experienced since and some part before I dedicated. That fear has since been dealt with accordingly. The overwhelming feeling has also since passed, though in many passing moments it felt as if the sky were falling down, though, it was all an illusion that had to be pushed aside. For those truly dedicated, I believe this fear, and what was an overwhelming sense of awe that acts as its own unique blockage(s) will pass with growth.
My dedication ceremony was done in the early morning and was memorable as I was very nervous. Very very anxious at the time. I went through with the dedication ceremony to the best accuracy I could, with intent, because despite the fear, I knew it is the Truth, and I felt it to my core. So I resolved to start and finish strong. There was no one alongside me in this, though I understand the Gods were there, as they are now. Thankfully there was not any interruptions and at the peak of the ceremony, as I placed my signed rite within the candle flame and allowed it to burn in the bowl, the wind picked up in the night and the candle flames peaked to 4 times their original height of only half an inch without any faltering within the gusts. I will never forget this. I knew upon finishing the dedication ceremony that I had done the right thing. I had found my way to sleep afterwards and though my Path within Zevism had begun, I had not truly realized it stretched before that until later on, and have only been reassured by experience that this is exactly where I am meant to be through all good times and all bad times, near and far, past, present, and wherever I will be in the events to come.
I find I could recommend a number of things based on my experiences, though, it all comes back to here in the Joy of Satan/Temple of Zeus. The teachings and knowledge are vast here, and to now include the Virtues and tons of other helpful information. The keys are literally in our hands to become the best humans we can ever be, and upon this great transition from what was a dark time to an time of great illumination, it is an amazing time to be alive and be offered the opportunity to truly advance ourselves in a whole fashion once more. There is so much more that could be said, that I could say, but I believe there will be more times for that, I'm certain of it.
I sincerely wish all of my Brothers and Sisters the best.
