TürkçeZevic Baptism
True Zevism is very much a celebration of life. If a child is born during one of the Sabbats, it is considered an additional blessing. The birth of a child is a special occasion, and all Zevic births should be hailed and celebrated. The Zevic baptism marks the beginning of protection and guidance from Zeus and His Demons, who will also help guide the child to develop and make the most of his or her unique gifts and abilities.
The infant should be dressed in black, symbolizing opposition to the false Right-Hand Path (RHP) religions.
The parent(s) stand to the east of the altar holding the child.
The High Priest or High Priestess rings the bell, opens the ceremony with an invocation to Zeus, drinks from the chalice, and invokes the 4 primary Gods and Powers.
High Priest/ess: There is a newcomer to the Family of Zeus.
Congregation: HAIL ZEUS!
High Priest/ess: What is the name of this child?
Parent(s): (State the name of the child)
High Priest/ess: We welcome you, [child’s name], to the Family of Zeus.
High Priest/ess: Do you wish to dedicate this child to Zeus?
Parent(s): We/I do. For without Zeus, and the knowledge and gifts He brings us, no life is complete.
High Priest/ess: Lord Zeus, we ask that You bless this child, guarding and guiding him/her throughout life. Keep him/her strong in Your ways. When the time is right, bring him/her back to Your altar to dedicate him/herself anew to Your service.
Parent(s) (to child): May His Majesty, Lord Zeus, and the Powers of Hell smile upon you and watch over you throughout your life, guiding you on the Left-Hand Path.
High Priest/ess: In the name of Zeus, and before the Powers of Hell, we welcome you, [child’s name], into the Family of Zeus.
Congregation: HAIL ZEUS!
The High Priest or High Priestess then closes the ceremony.
After the baptism, there should be feasting and celebration.
The child should be raised in the old ways, to honor Zeus and His Demons. When the child reaches puberty, they may choose to perform their own dedication of their own free will. At that time—when they are mature enough to understand and make this decision consciously—they may also choose a magickal name.
