The ToZ Has A New High Priestess

AvatarHigh Priest Zevios Metathronos2 min to read

Greetings to all of our Zevist Family,

The Temple of Zeus now has a new High Priestess, Lydia. Everyone knows her for her outstanding contributions and how much of a help she has been for everyone in the Zevist community. It was only fitting that eventually this would happen and now this has formally occurred, albeit everyone knows my opinion was that this was already the case.

Right now, HPS Lydia has been officially ordained. She always has been of importance and been a lighthouse for the Temple of Zeus and it's members.

We welcome her into the Priesthood and may she be blessed in all her endeavors. As we all seek to shine the light of the Gods as much as we can, we must humble ourselves in the sight of these opportunities which present themselves, to improve what the Gods love the most, which is the Temple of Zeus.

We thank you High Priestess Lydia and may the Gods shine on all our paths and we all wish you a great term of unwavering devotion and bright wisdom.

Certain other changes that have occurred will also be related publicly soon. May we all rejoice in our beautification, growth and further expansion. Without the community nothing would be possible; all of you have always been the most important incentive, family of Zevists.

May we all walk together into ever greater wisdom.

-High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Congratulations HPS Lydia! may the Gods bless your journey!

Congrats High Priestess Lydia!

HPS Lydia certainly is high priest material,
i do remember that she did not like to become an ToZ guardian, in the end she did become one, perhaps under slight coercion but certainly of her own free will . Besides being well respected and being someone that puts in a lot of her time into the growth of ToZ, she also seems like a very caring and knowledgeable woman, i wouldn't anyone but her to be the new HPS.

Hail High Priestess Lydia,

The greatest blessing one can receive is their own, Thoroughly believe in thyself, do this and your soul will be your guiding star.

Hail Zeus, Hail Astarte, May you shine true for eternity!

Congratulations, Sister Lydia, in my opinion you should have been High Priestess for several years now.

HIGH PRIESTESS Lydia :D

This is the targeted message.

So much inspiration, seeing others grow make you want to walk with them.

HAIL ZEUS!

By and by I say my opinion. Sometimes i might make mistakes, but is always with good will.

De vez en cuando digo mi opinion. A veces puedo equivocarme, pero siempre es con buena intencion.

High Priestess Lydia,

Deepest congratulations to you. You have always been someone I take the time to read any posts I see over the years, as they are always filled with wisdom. I have always hoped you would join the clergy, and I remember some years ago you mentioning time constraints being part of the reason you might not do so - so glad to hear that this seems to no longer be an obstructer.

Once again congratulations, and I can't wait to see the next chapter this holds for the JoS as a whole.

HAIL ZEUS, our Gods, and our Clergy!

I congratulate you, my High Priestess! I sincerely wish you that your journey on this most difficult of all paths be easy, and that you meet only roses and not thorns on it, and that this most difficult and most ungrateful path open up to you only from its best side, and not open up from its worst one, as it has done to others. May it lead you to heaven, and yet not lead you through suffering. Let Gods protect you on your way.

Thank you, my High Priest, for the new High Priestess and for making sure we have only the best leadership!

I saw how a lot of people were eagerly waiting for years for HPs Lydia to come into the path, asking why not yet and being answered "this was not their path". In Russian forums there were also posts asking to see her in office, also for years, since her posts were long being translated and people benefited. This is always a holiday and always a pleasure to see a new Satanic star rising and filling the sky with light.

Congratulations Lydia! Im happy for you.

Glad to see many of us held you in such high account before you were officially made a High Priestess, Sister. :) Congratulations! You have helped our Family like not many of us have done.

HAIL ZEUS FOREVER! HAIL LADY ASTARTE!

I am not here to be rude or agrassive, there is a question in my mind, what is the standards for one to have a title such as high priest, it's been 2 years since I joined this forums, Lydia have never replied to any of posts or give me any help, if you are a regular member it's your business to be active with people or not but when you hold a title like JG it's your responsibility to do so, blitzkrieg give me a lot of support and help why he is not a HP while he is more active than Lydia on the forums, anyway congratulations my sister in Satan it's hard to be on the top but it's way more harder to keep it that way, i don't hold anything against you in fact i hope that you will bring more balance to the community.

Duuuude wtf, do you oust in mercury retrogades or something hahaha, nah I'm joking. Maybe you guys are from different horary uses or something, and someone answers first, so your post doesn't appear in the unreaponed topics. She has answered pretty much all the posts I've made, and I'm not very active on the forums, as pretty much everything has been answered.

Congratulations!!!!!
Definitely a well deserved promotion! Reading your posts has been of tremendous help to me when I first got there and continues to be even now!You are really inspirational!

I completely agree with all the comments, and everyone knows I have been waiting on the corner to finally get HPS Lydia up there. I tried for years then I almost like gave up, thinking it was wrong to not be the case.

Apparently the Gods had other plans which they communicated and it goes beyond saying all the formal work invested on top of this after a solid decade is nothing less than inescapable proof, given also the spiritual and other gifts HPS Lydia has.

The situation is that now the Gods have made this choice and we cannot formally say no to them.

Rebecca88said:

Wonderful news.... very happy to have a woman as a priestess. This is fantastic !!!!

That is a long wish fulfilled for me also, as this is very much necessary. All these beautiful comments are very much deserved.

HPS Lydia is on this level where as I have said before I counted her equal as a HPS even when she did not formally want the position. Now that this is the case, that is certainly wonderful.

Women need powerful representation, and I know many will seek to look after another great female rolemodel now. That's very important.

The community has been heard and this is very much to my personal joy as well. Thank you brother.

The work of the Gods and Shaitan is not just limited to chatting on the forums, I believe she has done a lot of work in an "unseen" way for Jos.
I trust the Cobra Priest

It's as Akay says here. Blackwizard is newer and as they see solely the work of posts, ie, the most external aspect of this all. There is an enormous amount of work she has done behind the scenes, in projects for JoS, internal decision making and other things. Some people do more forums work, others do internal work.

HPS Lydia is behind some of the biggest projects in JoS doing active work all the time. She has a solid decade supporting, helping and doing many things for people too like help via e-mail and a lot of other spiritual work on her.

Of course, we are going to up the ante when it comes to public forum work as well.

SleepingWolfsaid:

I can only hope this means Lydia will be taking some of the workload off of Cobra. Gods knows he works hardest than all of us.

Internally this has been likely the most work-loaded year for me. A lot of it is on the surface, but a lot of it above it too. The JoS is growing on the back end as well, the Guardians and others know too, and formally these will be communicated soon.

As I see, I believe HPS Lydia will work on other much necessary areas as well, so on a practical level nothing changes for me. I'll just have more work as time goes, and I tremendously enjoy it too. She has a great amount of things to contribute. Thank you very much for caring however and thinking about me too.

AAAAAAAAA CONGRATULATIONS, SISTER.

I have loved your works and contributions to our great temple for a long time and I pray for ever greater strength and joy to fill your every breath as you work tirelessly for yourself, your People and your world. May we all be inspired by your light that brightens by the day.

We love you deeply. Always stay strong in Father.

Don't mind the join date, something of a prior long-term lurker. We can't just read and consume forever, it's the best time to share now of all times.

Congratulations to you HP Lydia. You are very deserving of the title for all your contributions.

Always remember when you train, train with focus and intent. Know and accept everything you do will benefit your martial arts in a good and positive way.

Hail Zeus!
