you belong to no one.
Neither husband nor master have you.

Your virginity is self-sufficiency: you need no one.
Teach the Zevists self-sufficiency.

Daughter of Zeus, Champion, Victory-Bearer, Owl-Eyed,
Blessed is your aegis and your victory.
Blessed are we through you.
Blessed and thrice blessed eternally!
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Athena's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus. Let yourself be immersed in the steel-grey light of her aegis, the gleam of her spear, the calm certainty of the Goddess who never loses.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

On Athena
Athena (Greek: Ἀθηνᾶ) is the Goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, craftsmanship, and civilization. Born from the head of Zeus in full armour after he swallowed her mother Metis ("Cunning"). Her epithets encode her nature: Promakhos (Champion), Glaukopis (Owl-Eyed), Parthenos (Virgin), Ergane (Craftswoman), Poliouchos (City-Guardian), Nikephoros (Victory-Bearer). She bears the aegis of Zeus with the Gorgoneion (Medusa's head). At Troy she guided Diomedes to wound Ares and Aphrodite (Iliad V). She guided Odysseus home through cunning (Odyssey). The Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens was her greatest temple. Athens itself bears her name after she won the contest with Poseidon by offering the olive tree.

On Marchosias (Goetic #35)
Marchosias is the thirty-fifth spirit: a Marquis commanding 30 legions, of the Order of Dominations. Described as a female warrior with griffin wings, a serpent's tail, who breathes fire. These correspond to Athena: the eagle/griffin wings (Athena's sacred birds), the serpent (her symbol on the Acropolis, the Erechtheion serpent), and fire from the mouth (strategic fury that consumes enemies).
(Sources: Weyer, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, 1577; Ars Goetia, 17th c.)
