I feel like I've advanced more spiritually in the last month then in the 2 years preceding it. For years I had plenty of alone time, but I kept putting off meditation while waiting for the "perfect" time, which of course never came. Living in a group home isn't ideal, there are plenty of people who seem to always be making noise, lol. But since resuming my program weeks ago, I haven't missed a single session. I no longer wait for the time that feels perfect, I make use of the time and space I currently have. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I continue to stay sober and work on the underlying issues related to addiction. It's certainly hard, as my brain is still recovering. But I am very grateful to have been given a second chance, and this beautiful community has been very helpful. I still worry sometimes about how to fix my life, I'm not sure what I should do career wise. But I know I love the Gods and Goddesses, and I love our amazing Temple. I am in a much better place then I was a few months ago, when I was still in active addiction and burying my true feelings in drugs. Thank you to all who help maintain and build up this wonderful Place.

Everyone can fall, as there are many pits, but few can get out of them and rise. We are here to help each others in case of need.

It's important that you managed to detach from that addiction and turn back to the path. May the Gods bless you and keep you strong.

Also, you should do some more detaching workings combined with positive ones to keep you on track.

Overcoming addiction is incredibly difficult. There will be plenty of bumps in the road, you would know that better than anyone, but it's important to remember that every day clean is a victory in and of itself, and no one day is like another. Many who undertake never manage to last as long as you have already, and that shows real strength of character.

Never forget that people here will listen to your problems so long as you're willing to speak about them. The only other thing I can say is, it's only natural you will have concerns about your future, but for the time being, you can really only do yourself favors by focusing on the now. Pursue hobbies, spend time with people who have your best interests in mind, find all the reasons you can to recover, beyond the merit of the act itself. The Temple will still be here tomorrow, and you can be a part of it if you wish it to be.

Good luck on the road ahead, brother.

When I performed the Great Ritual of Zeus, I had a vision afterward
I focused on my third eye and saw images begin to shift and change in the following order
At first, it was a peacock with colorful wings, white swan, seven-headed serpent emerging from the bottom of my spine (1st chackra?) And then a bee with white butterfly wings
I still don't know how to fully interpret these signs, hope i gonna figure it out soon, if anyone has any suggestions you're welcome to share
Khem Nefermed
I wanted to write these tidbits about my new name, since I know a couple people were curious.

On its origins, it came to me in a dream. Nothing grand or mysterious, I was literally just scrolling the Forums and answering a couple questions (...in a dream), and the username I had was Khemenu Nefermed.
I had thought of changing my name to something more personally meaningful before that, and the three fragments of this name are words I didn't, at least to my knowledge, know of before this dream.
So I meditated on the name, and felt a deep connection to it, elaborated a bit on it, and out came Khem Nefermed.

It has layers of meaning, some of which are too personal to share, but I will share the biggest part of it.

The name can roughly translate to "Khem, of beautiful speech."

Nefer-medu means beautiful-word, and it relates to my passion for writing and the oratory arts in general. It obviously also relates to Lord Thoth.

Khem itself I didn't translate above, because it has a triple meaning in terms of what it means to me.

Firstly, the biggest meaning is that it is short for Khemenu or Khemenew. This means "The Eight", "the Ogdoad", and it relates to the eight primordial deities of Egypt, worshipped in the city of the same name.
This city was later called Hermopolis Magna, or the Great City of Hermes, because it was the largest cult of Thoth.

Secondly, it relates to Kemet, Egypt itself. I have many pagan cultures I am fascinated with and attracted to, but Egypt has been with me my entire life, down to my early childhood.

Thirdly, it relates to Khem itself, which means "dark", in the sense of fertility. Months before this, I had a dream of a deity I could not make sense of, because it wasn't well known. It was Min, the Egyptian God of reproduction and fertility. This is a God I was close to in ways I didn't know until I researched it deeper. Khem as "fertile" (a reference to darker soil) is an epithet of many Gods, including Min.

Yes, the fact that Khem has three meanings is also an intentional nod to Hermes Trismegistus. The name is quite connected to Hermes/Thoth, and I hope to honor Him in the work I do.

The name can translate to, if we take all of these meanings, "Fruitful one of the Ogdoad, of good words, the Egyptian".

Yours Wisdom know no boundaries
You came into my life long before I recognized you
When I first mentioned you in passing in my book
You are a moving intellectual power that cuts through all boundaries, move all ignorance away
Everything becomes clear under your rays
All liars, all false authority, that being grabbed by the scruff of the neck by yours iron hand, blinded, they're turning away from yours light
Even thus, they continue persist without shame - "I know better than anyone and better than you, obey or be cursed."
Looking at them naked, I respond them with silence, your voice is clear enough against that useless noise that feed nothing but ego
I take my gaze away from them to you in order to heal myself under your rays
The truths that you clarify might be unpleasant, but unpleasant only in order to give a true understanding without any illusions
I renounce all illusions and accept your guidance humbly, not as a gift, but as a challenge to lift me above myself
You don't give direct answers, you set the path to set me in motion, to get rid of my damned laziness
Let me burn away all laziness, fear, every obstacle on the path to perfection with the fire of Prometheus
You gave me your guidance, in return you expect nothing but action
And I dedicate my actions to you Great Shepherd
May all limits be damned, let them burn bright
At the sunrise that we can't see even up close...

Due to my school blocking both the forums and the main ToZ website, I will be unable to continually post here and there will most likely be long gaps between my activity on the forums. This is truly unfortunate and I do not want to be inactive and un-participating, but there is very little I can do before I am able to acquire my own personal PC. My school provided computer was my only access to the forums and website and now that it has been taken away there is little I can do but wait. I hope I can find workarounds to this problem. I apologize for my recent inactivity and am actively searching for ways to still participate in the community.

Lots of things are happening in my personal life related to growth. I will be more active from now on. This time I swear in the name of Zeus that I will be a proper Zevist.

Latest lesson in life:
Protect your rest - Rest is as important as your goal. Give breathing room towards your goals. Instead of finishing it today, ask what's the latest this can be done without real consequence.

Protect your sleep.
Protect your time.
Be aware of everything you do at the very second—self-control, discipline, and mastery.

You do not rush to us in the hour of need
But walk ahead, illuminating the paths
That lead toward mistake and ruin
You grant us foresight
The quiet wisdom to avoid the fall
Truly, You sever all that is superfluous
Cutting clean with time’s inexorable blade
Your lessons etch themselves into the soul
To be remembered for a lifetime
We shall reap what we have sown
Yet, under Your cold gaze, our labors bloom tenfold returning in grace
You do not sharpen the sting of our errors
Nor make the consequences cruel
Instead, You transform each fall Into a sacred experience - that is Your silent tongue
The language through which You speak to those who ready to listen
Truly, we hear Yours voice without any sound
The Hiden Sun, that we can't see even up close


Blessed all of Yours Names

I believe Zeus or my Guardian directly spoke to me in my dream, the eve of Beltane.

I was with some hunters and they were going to take out a massive bull. Idk if it was a mercy kill or just natural hunting. I can remember having inner understanding as to why they were doing this. They even made sure to shoot it directly in the middle of the head for an instant kill.

Even though it was quick and painless I became very sad for the animal. As I walked I was telling myself why am I getting like this and perhaps I should shake it off.

Thats when I heard the voice of our God (or Guardian). Although I heard it in my head almost like my inner voice but it wasn't coming from me.

The voice told me to be okay to feel for this wild animal. To let it out. Feel. Empathize.

So I did. And the thoughts that flooded immediately were that of how much I yearn for animals to have a full life before it's for us to eat them.

In the bigger picture I believe my ability to empathize with other living beings and creaturea that became stunted and not correctly cultivated because of my upbringing is healing. I want the best life for every soul according to their nature and I mean this sincerely. Justice must be implemented and part of that justice also involves the above.

Maybe I should of just written this in a dream journal but seeing it is a spiritual experience I decided to share with you all.

Bless you all and may you all have the opportunity for a full life according to your own natures.

Happy Beltane 🔥

Before I found the Temple of Zeus, Lord Orpheus was the first God whose sigil I ever meditated on; he was truly my gateway to the Gods and the Mysteries. Looking back on it, that was very symbolic. I thank him dearly for this.

"Orpheus, Orphef, He Whose Music Moves All Things!

When you played, the stones wept.
When you sang, the rivers changed their course to hear you better.
The beasts of the wild lay down at your feet.
The trees uprooted themselves and walked toward you.
Even the ferryman of the dead rested his oar and listened.
Even the three-headed guardian of the Underworld lay quiet.
Even the King and Queen of the Dead were moved to mercy."

Golden age of Saturn it's not communism, equality in nature is doesn't exist.
If we consider that He compresses lead into gold, then we can understand that as a period when everyone is given the opportunity to raise the serpent from earth to heaven, where the earth it's first chakra where the black cube is being illuminated by light of gnosis.
True fridom from material prison, where the material world become the a platform for the development of the soul, not a cycle that goes on endlessly from day to day like for the rest of humanity, unfortunately...

About two years ago, I prayed sincerely to Lord Kheiron to help me quit smoking and give me the motivation and his blessing to keep clean. I remember the day I quit like it was yesterday. I was outside in my backyard, it was nighttime, and I had gone the whole day without smoking. The birds were not chirping, the leaves were not rustling, and I had the thought that I would go for a smoke and quit the next week instead of today.

Then, out of nowhere, a Great Blue Heron flew into the tree above my head! I had never seen anything like it. You don't see these kinds of birds here, let alone in your backyard. The Heron landed in a tree where the branches were shaped exactly like the Othala Rune ᛟ. I was amazed and in awe. I could not ignore this great omen and knew that this would be the day I stopped smoking forever.

Two years later, I have not taken a single puff of anything, or even considered doing so. Until doing this Ritual, and finding out this God's true name, it never clicked that this blessing was from Lord Kheiron, but the phonetic similarity of Kheiron (Greek Pronunciation) and Heron made it apparent.

Additionally, the day before starting the Ritual to God Kheiron, I felt an intense calling to pursue a certification in Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Herbology. It is no coincidence that this happened the day before doing the Ritual to the God of Medicine and the founder of herbology.

I just want to express my gratitude to this fantastic and wonderful God. He has blessed me and so many others beyond belief. May he be praised and blessed for all eternity.

HAIL MEGAS DIDASKALOS!

HAIL LORD KHEIRON!
Eudora
El trabajo con los Dioses no es un acto meramente contemplativo; es una física espiritual. Cuando invocamos a las potencias superiores, no buscamos una evasión del mundo, sino un enraizamiento profundo en él. Los Dioses no son entidades lejanas, sino fuerzas vivas que se manifiestan a través de nuestras manos, nuestra voz y nuestras decisiones cotidianas.

La espiritualidad no es un escape, es un compromiso de manifestación. No basta con que la energía divina nos visite en un momento de éxtasis; el verdadero reto del iniciado es lograr que esa fuerza se convierta en su propia realidad biológica y tangible.

Para que la luz de lo divino no se quede en una simple visión o genere una sobrecarga energética, debemos convertirnos en seres conscientes a través de estos fundamentos:
  1. Las palabras sagradas y los términos litúrgicos son llaves maestras que sintonizan nuestra vibración con lo Divino. Al vibrarlas con precisión, reclamamos Su presencia. Sin embargo, esta energía es tan poderosa que requiere del Hatha Yoga y la disciplina física; el cuerpo debe actuar como un conductor seguro para evitar la sobreestimulación y permitir que la energía se asiente.
  2. Los Dioses operan bajo leyes de equilibrio universal. Al estudiar y adoptar Su Ética, dejamos de actuar por impulsos egoicos para convertirnos en representantes de Su voluntad. Esta ética nos impulsa a la excelencia, reflejando la perfección de lo superior en cada una de nuestras acciones.
  3. El enraizamiento ocurre cuando alineamos nuestra voluntad con la Verdad, la Justicia y la Reciprocidad. Los Dioses potencian lo que ya habita en nosotros: si eres creador, tu obra restaura la belleza; si eres protector, tu firmeza es Su justicia. El Reino se expande cada vez que utilizas tus talentos naturales y tus gustos para establecer armonía en el caos.
  4. Los Dioses son justos y reconocen nuestra naturaleza. Ser un seguidores de ellos, implica honrar nuestros ciclos, nuestro cuerpo y nuestras inclinaciones. El enraizamiento físico es, en última instancia, ejecutar la visión divina en el plano material, permitiendo que Su presencia se manifieste de forma auténtica en cada paso que damos.
Los Dioses nos inspiran a aquello que somos capaces de hacer según nuestra esencia. Nuestra labor es ser el templo donde Su voluntad se hace carne, orden y acción.

Agradezco inmensamente al Señor Osiris y la Señora Astarté por este conocimiento y la inspiración. Comprender es el primer paso para la Práctica.

Oh Saturn! Lord of time and transformation!
You're the Gardener who clears away the chaff growing around The Tree, you prune away the withering leaves, leaving it perfect, without a single flaw!
Get rid of all that unnecessary, everything that does not serve me and my prosperity well
Let anyone who goes against me not get too far
Circumcise all who's dragging me down as you circumcised Uranus, depriving him of all power over reality
Circumcise all tyrant's power upon us, all the authority that is not serve to increasing our wealth, power and happiness

You're barely destroyer, but bringer of clarity through purification
Blessed you and all of yours names
May the wicked hand of Abrahamist not bring shame upon you
They, who abuses your power without respect, embodying nothing but ignorance
Instead of Golden Age that it is you

The rest see us, they're see notning but lead
And only yours cold gaze can recognize the Gold that burden deeply inside of yours champions, guided by the wisest of your sons
Squeeze it, just like the masters squeeze the oil from olives
Thus, why you take care of the Trees in your Garden
The Titan, Hidden from all

"Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one that what had gone before. Like the onset of some cold glaucoma dimming away the world."

"You are the Guardian of Hidden Wisdom.
The Gate of Heaven knows your face; the Gate of the Abyss knows your voice.
You stand between the worlds with twin serpents coiled upon your staff,
and nothing passes that you do not permit.

Keeper of the Threshold, you hold the keys that unlock
the treasures buried beneath memory and beneath stone.
What is hidden, you reveal. What is locked, you open."

Hello brother, can I ask what was your prior forum name? I am barely keeping up with the new name changes of dedicated members. Don't want to lose track of who's who, especially when it comes to clergy.
Inquisitor⥀Veritas
Change begins and ends with you plain and simple, we make excuses because at times we can see our potential and worry that if we change we will lose ourselves. The truth of the matter is the change we actively pursue is the better version of ourselves calling out to us that we are finally hearing in those particular moments in our lives. If you perceive the change you actively seek to be smooth and the idea of it makes you happy, then pursue that change like your life depends on it, because it does in a sense, stagnation is death, adapt or die in the sense that the you that is possible will not come to be if you do not climb the mountain to make it happen.

What would you like to see of me in the future? I'm speaking to all members, all input is welcome, is there anything you want to see from me as a member of the community.

What is the best way to channel Folkish instincts given the new understanding? I agree fully with the Clergy and trust them, they've never steered us in a bad path and have continously blessed us with wisdom and truth. I get it that hatred and political conflict is not the way, but I'm still worried about my broader kin. The world looks so ugly now, I can't take seeing another news story of an innocent person having their life destroyed by a murder or acid attack.

God rituals to bring the power of the Gods here more strongly; and the Liturgical Prayers to remove Izfet.

Thank you High Priestess. I am trying to do a lot of mental housecleaning so that I can serve the Gods with maximum efficiency and focus. I deeply appreciate the massive work the clergy does, I know there's a ton of work most don't even see.

Also I've been studying the Philosophy section, and it is extremely impressive. I've been interested in academic Philosophy for years, but was frustrated when questions were raised but answers were nonexistent or deeply unsatisfying. The harmony of Philosophy and Spirituality in Zevism is stunning.
Kouros Aionios
Lord Silvanus helped me greatly with something about a year ago, and I was so happy to do his ritual. He has such amazing energy.

"Open the bond between the Initiates and the living creatures of the world.
Let us hear what the animals know.
Let us understand the signs that nature offers freely to those who listen.
Let our relationship with every beast be one of kinship, not dominion,
for they are your children, as we are children of the Gods."
