The Gods The question of celebrating Genesia

AvatarAsk Zeus Operator1 min to read

Unfortunately, I am unable to hold a proper celebration from sunset until sunrise.

It is highly likely that I will not be at home at that time. On the other hand, I wish to express my respect for Persephone, Hades and Anubis.

How else might this be done? Could my wife and I perform rituals to these deities at night and celebrate in this way? What else might we add, whilst ensuring we do not break any important rules?

Glory to Zeus!

Hello :)

In the Zevist Calendar page in Keeping the Calendar section, it states: "A Zevist who can't keep a festival on its night keeps it on the nearest night he can, and says so to the Gods at the Opening; the Gods keep the calendar, and the Zevist keeps faith."

You and your wife can honor the Gods at the time you are able to, it does not have to be a precise timing. This is the first year we have these Rites, we do not have to strive for perfection immediately.

This is the targeted message.

You can perform the ritual in other night.

Rituals are conducted taking into account the possibilities that you have.

Even on holidays, because of other people, there may be circumstances when it is not possible to perform the ritual perfectly, for example, using various tools that can be described in the rituals, in which case you conduct the ritual taking into account the possibilities that you have.

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