My spiritual journey has been going OK, ups and downs. I have been meditating twice per day, I think in the past several weeks I only missed 1 session (due to being extremely tired and falling asleep). This is a level of consistency I've never maintained before. And I've been staying sober.

Things are still really hard and many times I've contemplated going back to drugs and just living on the streets. I don't want to get a job and live in normie society, as people have never liked me much and I feel unwanted wherever I am. My life is still really messed up and I have a lot of serious problems, mental and otherwise. I'm really trying to keep it together, though, for 2 reasons: I still love my immediate family and don't want to hurt them more, and my duty/sense of purpose as a Zevist. I still struggle with the last one, though. Some days I question if I have a vocation on this path or not. But I am going to try. My gratitude as always to those who maintain and protect the Temple.
Nemesis, Kosmike Nemesis, Keeper of the Universal Scales!
I look at Hypatia and my heart is drenched in blood
Direct your wrath against all injustice
Crush the head of Izfet with those who alongside it
Let the hearts of all varvarim be drenched in blood just as mine is
Multiply their suffering! let them choke in theirs own entropy which swallows them up in their own cycle of grief!

Pleasant Nemesis, defender of the righteous, lighten my burden, cleanse me of adversity, and bring Maat into my live!
Establish an unshakable balance, and may it serve all who stand under the gaze of the Gods
Blessed are the righteous and cursed are those who come against us
Adrasteia! When your anger burns inside me! I feel truly alive!
You fill my flesh with righteous wrath, against which our enemies have no argument
Thank you for showing the way to order and justice!
Beautiful! In all her righteous wrath!

When your restless gaze watch us unseen, I ask humble in awe:
Who dares to raise a hand against us when the sword of justice cuts off the palm of all evil?
If you ever find yourself faced with an easily solvable problem, and you know it to be so then solve the problem or issue. I say this because if one allows problem after problem to continue building up in our lives this can result in a state of inaction that we refer to as stagnation. Now this might not seem so bad at first to you, but this can quickly spiral out of control and cause you to think it is an impossibility. This level of inaction can then transfer over to other facets of your life, such as love, financial opportunities you name it. We are meant to seek adversity in life yes, but do not allow so much of it into your like that it overwhelms you. So I ask you Zevist Family, if you have a problem you know you can solve today, then take the action required and make it happen. Do not allow inaction to transform into an unbearable burden for you.
"A person who can make their point with composure and precision demonstrates greater mastery than one who relies on crudeness. The ability to remain civil under pressure is a mark of inner strength, not weakness.
[...]
Courtesy within the community builds the trust upon which all shared endeavour depends. Rudeness without cause is entropy: small, unnecessary Izfet introduced into the social fabric for no gain.
[...]
Speak freely. Speak honestly. Speak with force when force is needed. But when you can choose between a crude word and a precise one, choose the precise one. It cuts deeper."

-Life Ethics: Politeness and Conduct
La crisis no viene a destruirte, viene a despertarte.

Cuando todo se tambalea, solemos pensar que es el fin del camino, pero en realidad es el inicio de una transformación obligatoria. La incomodidad tiene un propósito perfecto.

El dolor no es un castigo, es un indicador. Te señala exactamente qué herida del pasado o qué situación actual no has sanado ni resuelto.

La crisis rompe tu zona de confort. Si te quedas estático en el mismo lugar que causó el colapso, te hundes. Te obliga a activar el movimiento y a buscar nuevas rutas.

Muchas crisis nacen de lo que permitiste. Este es el momento de aprender a decir "no", a proteger tu energía y a levantar barreras saludables frente a lo que te drena.

No es lo que pasa afuera, es cómo reaccionas por dentro. Te muestra tu falta de paciencia, tus miedos ocultos o tu necesidad de control, dándote la oportunidad de madurar.

La crisis es una oportunidad de crecimiento que, enfocada con propósito, se convierte en la gasolina necesaria para salir de cualquier dificultad.

No veas el caos como un callejón sin salida; míralo como combustible. Cuando dejas de preguntar "¿Por qué me pasa esto?" y empiezas a preguntar "¿Para qué me sirve esto?", cambias el rol de víctima por el de maestro de tu propia vida. El fuego de la dificultad consume lo que ya no te sirve y templa el acero de tu carácter.

Usa la sacudida a tu favor. Sana, pon límites, muévete y crece.

We have a lot of full-day Void of Course Moons lately. This is due to the position of the planets being mostly on early degrees. The Moon goes VoC after it's last major aspect to another planet.

So be mindful to check for the VoC any time you plan on beginning something new. For phone apps such as iLuna, make sure to double-check the dates, as they don't show the red VoC if the Moon is VoC for more than the entire day (beginning on one date and lasting through a second date into a third date), due to poor programming.

For more information regarding the VoC Moon:
I uploaded a post of "Lord Set carrying some Zevists across the waters of ignorance" and posted an image of an alligator with babies riding on it through the water, then realized I mixed up Lord Set and Sobek. We also don't have much information on Lord Sobek either so I wonder who he might be. Google says in Greek he was "Suchus" but I haven't read much into it.
V. The Temple of Zeus

The Temple of Zeus exists for one specific purpose. The Temple is the cultivation house for Theophoroi. It is the place where souls who want to undertake the work of becoming God-bearers can find the materials, the methods, the lineage, the rituals, and the company of others who have committed to the same work.

[...]

The Temple of Zeus operates under the same principle. We help. We respect. We welcome. The doctrine, the practice, the ritual, the lineage are decided by those who carry them. The cultivation is offered to all. The decisions belong to the cultivated.

-Theophoric People & Andrapoda, by High Priest Zevios Metathronos
I have changed my name from Howl Starseeker to Theodorus. This change is not merely outward. It is the sign of an inward transformation. As the Temple is reborn, so too are we, its initiates, reborn with it. As Howl Starseeker, I felt like an owl moving through the dark forest, searching for the light, searching for the stars. Now I know that I have found them. Theodorus Θεόδωρος means Gift of God. And truly, the Temple is a gift of the Gods, a sacred offering entrusted to us, a flame placed in our hands. Let us always remember this. Let us honor what has been given. Let us strive, with reverence and devotion, to exalt the gifts our Gods bestow upon us.
Long did this seed slumber
For ten years it lay hidden in the earth
Its roots grew deep and strong
Until at last it rose into the light
Now it shines in the golden rays of Apollo
Even as I myself shine
And when this exalted Tree rises high toward the heaven
Whether if people approve it or not
The nations shall stand and behold, stir in awe to admit
Satya Yuga has come
Unless we get a new God ritual schedule, we can perform Lord Set's ritual from May 15-20.

Everyone who has problems logging in to VT from your phone, this is what I figured out because the instructions given did not work for my phone.

1. Open Element Classic app

2. Manually change "matrix.org" to "t.vultustemplorum.org"

3. Use your associated email address to log in, not your username (username didn't work for me).

4. Enter your password [Note: some members say they had to press "forgot password", I didn't have to. It let me log in smoothly.]

5. There will be a prompt to check your email for a 6-digit code

7. Type in that code

8. Accept Element to connect with t.vultustemplorum (otherwise it won't work)

9. Now you are in!


These are all the steps I remember, if there are more please let me know so I can edit this.

My reply to a post:

Medicine and proper medical practices save lives. With a lot of spiritual advancement we can help with healing, but the required amount of advancement and energy needed is far beyond the practical scope of the vast majority of people. Nobody should delay medical intervention thinking they can meditate the illness away.

The ancients had medicine and surgery, even with their knowledge of spiritual practices.

Well i should have put more details in my post, i know that meditation alone can't heal everything but together with others like magic spiritual advancement, and i understood now that even with all of these some illnesses can't be healed with meditation, magic and spiritual advancement alone, like infections, viruses, poison, wounds..

I did the mistake of relying on meditation for healing but not because I had the belief that material medicine wasn't going to work but because of hard financial strains. Once my finances became more constant and I had a great guide on diet and medicine I have been to be able to heal my body. The meditations and workings for health led me to find the physical answers I needed to start healing. I hope no one ever does this intentionally as there is nothing but suffering from denying themselves proper medical care.
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.
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
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".

Until we get a new God Ritual schedule, we can perform the ritual of Lord Kheiron, as it is now His week (May 5-9).

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.
Kronus, Baal-Hammon, Satvrnvs, Ell
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."
