The below i felt i should point it to get it off my chest.
To the Clergy and Community,
I would like to offer respectful feedback regarding a recurring issue in how workings and information are presented on the Temple of Zeus (ToZ) platform. In my observation, the current branding and framing unintentionally undervalue the power of the workings and may diminish user engagement and results. Simple improvements could significantly enhance user experience, increase the perceived effectiveness of rituals, and strengthen practitioners’ mindsets.
1. Issue with the Introductory Framing (Example: Money Workings PDF)
The current introduction to the Money Workings PDF states:
“Obtaining any serious amounts of money is one of the most difficult of workings because nearly everyone is obsessed with getting it. Money is the god of this world. The competition is extremely high.”
While I understand the intention to provide realistic context, this framing risks introducing a nocebo effect – negative expectations producing negative outcomes. Upon reading this, I personally felt a sense of lack and instantly mentally rejected the statement. More importantly, the opening contradicts the actual power of the working.
If a working is powerful – and the answer is unequivocally yes – then that should be the primary message impressed upon the reader from the beginning. Leading with difficulty, competition, and scarcity conditions the subconscious for struggle rather than success. This underestimates the value of the work itself.
Imagine you are a general, i give you 100 000 well trained soldiers, and i open up with : the war will be hard, everyone wants to win, its the hardest war you will take. Now go do it.
Compare it to: i gave you 100 000 very well trained soldiers, i trained them myself and made sure only the best of the best are kept in the group. You are given extremely powerful army. use it.
2. Suggested Improvement: Affirmative Opening
I recommend opening all workings with a strong, affirmative statement that reinforces power and divine origin. For example:
· “These workings are given directly from the Gods to us. They are very powerful.”
· “These workings are crafted by advanced clergy, designed to yield the best possible results when applied correctly.”
anything like this, anything positive. For example you may start experiencing benefits from day 3 or whatever.
If a member later reports no results, the community can offer guidance on personal empowerment or technical execution. However, framing the working as inherently difficult from the outset is counterproductive.
3. Parallel Example: Black Magic Framing
Priest Alexandros’s guidance on Black Magic provides an excellent model. When asked about a target being “stronger” or risk of rebound, he responded effectively with:
“Be MEAN and VICIOUS, once you do it, YOU DO IT! YOU DESTROY! … Make it/them not powerful, make them weak before you destroy. Make yourself stronger and bigger…”
This approach eliminates doubt and empowers the practitioner. It does not begin by listing reasons why Black Magic might fail. The same principle should apply to money workings. One cannot effectively perform a prosperity working while simultaneously holding the belief that it is “extremely difficult” and that “competition is high.” Such thoughts should be discarded entirely. Or written elsewhere, not in the pdf one will reach out to every single time, having to see the counterintention every single time..
4. On Placebo and Nocebo
· Nocebo: Negative expectations produce negative outcomes. The current opening may trigger this, especially in highly suggestible members.
· Placebo: Studies show placebo effects can work even when the subject knows it is a placebo. Opening with affirmations of power and divine origin can cause members to experience greater benefits through reinforced belief. This is not “fake” – it is the mind’s power entering into play, which aligns perfectly with the principles of our practices.
5. Addressing Two Potential Concerns
Concern A: “Placebo is not needed; the workings are real.”
Response: Our Religion recognizes the powers of the mind. Placebo is simply a manifestation of one’s own mental power. Enhancing belief enhances results – it does not replace the working’s inherent power. It enhances.
Concern B: “Allowing only positive reviews is manipulation; we should include bad reviews.”
Response: If a ritual is genuinely beneficial, there is no manipulation in highlighting that fact. If a member does not experience results, the appropriate venue is the forum for troubleshooting – not posting negative reviews that may shake the confidence of others. The norm should be that workings work, and exceptions are addressed individually.
6. Additional Recommendation
Consider adding bullet points under rituals (e.g., explaining how each rune contributes, listing expected benefits) to educate members and increase motivation. If such details are kept from the public, an internal page on ToZ outlining general benefits of rituals would also be valuable.
Conclusion
My sole goal is to help optimize the effectiveness of these otherwise powerful workings for all members. By reframing introductions to emphasize power rather than difficulty, and by incorporating confidence-boosting elements, we can significantly improve both practitioner mindset and tangible results.
Thank you for your consideration.
I want to add that it is a good idea to name workings, for example, instead of : returning curses. It should have a name. Or you can have many workings under a name.
For example all money workings under:
´Money Mastery Program V1.0 💰’
The branding will make big difference.
You can come up with cool names. That was just quick example.
Same for 40days initial program,
It sounds lame.
Compare it to:
Foundation Mastery Program🔱
Or something like that, it should be cool not like ‘beginner program’. No one wants to be beginner. And also, is the initial program powerful or weak?
If its powerful it should not have a lame name like: beginner 40days .
…
Same with 6months program etc..
The name of program itself, will enhance literally everything. Even the self image of the member.
Also bullet points under each program, pointing results that may be achieved. People are result driven. No one wants to read words etc.. if you tell someone come study finance pdfs, he will reject, if you tell him come study pdfs that will teach you how this guy made X amount of money. Now it sounds interesting not lame..
Have a great day.
