Raidhox10
Ansuzx10Raidhox10O, Lord of the Covenant,
O, Zeus Horkios, Keeper of Every Sacred Oath,
O, Crowned Rider Upon the Red Horse of Heaven,
We, the Temple of Zeus Assembly, bless you and invoke you.
When you rode into Shechem the stones of the altar trembled and the oaths sworn upon them burned themselves into the bones of the earth.
Come to us, O Sovereign One, for we have kept the Covenant alive when others broke it with both hands.
Sowilox10
Fehux10Sowilox10Your Power is Felt, Visible, and Observable,
Your Power is always existing.
The gold upon your brow is not ornament. It is the condensed light of every oath fulfilled, every law upheld, every covenant honored since the first word was spoken between God and mortal.
You transmute base metals into gold because you transmute base men into kings: the one who keeps his word becomes sovereign, and sovereignty is your gift to bestow.
Ansuzx10
Tiwazx10Ansuzx10"Behold the Initiates of the Gods,
They are Eternally the Ones I love, the Ones I promote, the Ones I protect.
They bless my Name and love me, and I shall bless their Names with the authority of the Covenant."
And we receive your word with open hearts, O Father of Oaths,
For when you speak, the sky splits and truth falls through like rain. Your voice has no echo because it needs none. It lands once, and it stays.
Thurisazx10
Algizx10Thurisazx10He rides upon them with the red horse and grinds them beneath the hooves.
The evil spell cast against the Temple of Zeus and its People has now backfired and returned to its creators entirely,
For Baal-Berith has made it so.
The mouths of Yehubor told the world your Covenant was broken, your altars cold, your oaths void. But you cannot void what was sealed in fire, and you cannot cool what burns at the center of the sky where Zeus sits.
Kenazx10
Dagazx10Kenazx10You have Many Names,
All of them are Blessed,
All of them are immersed in Zeus's Providence.
Blessed are you, Baal-Berith!
The covenant-keeper knows what the oath-breaker has forgotten, and the Father remembers the bond that the world has been made to deny.
Your secret Name seals every pact between heaven and earth: in the crack of the thunderbolt, in the red of the horse's flank, in the gold of the crown where kingship lives.
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Baal-Berith's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus, or the one below. Let yourself be immersed and receive energy from Baal-Berith, who is Zeus in his aspect as the Keeper of the Covenant.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.
SAT (सत्): real, true, truthful in Sanskrit.

LETTERS OF THE SIGIL
The Ancient Greek letters for Baal-Berith's Name in arrangement.
ON BAAL-BERITH
Baal-Berith (Canaanite: Baʿal Bərīṯ, "Lord of the Covenant") is attested in the Hebrew Bible as the God worshipped at the great temple of Shechem (Judges 8:33, 9:4, 9:46). The parallel name El-Berith ("God of the Covenant") in Judges 9:46 confirms his supreme status: El is the title of the highest God. The Shechem temple, excavated at Tell Balata, was one of the largest Canaanite sacred structures ever uncovered, with walls 5 meters thick and a courtyard large enough for civic assemblies. Its function as a covenant-shrine aligns with the Greek cult of Zeus Horkios ("Zeus of Oaths"), before whose altar at Olympia athletes swore their sacred oaths on slices of boar flesh (Pausanias V.24.9-11). The correspondence is exact: Ba'al Berith and Zeus Horkios occupy the same theological position as the divine guarantor of all sacred bonds, pacts, and treaties between mortals and between mortals and Gods.

ON BERITH (GOETIC #28)
The Goetia lists Berith as the twenty-eighth spirit: a Great Duke commanding 26 legions, appearing as a soldier dressed in red with a golden crown upon his head, riding a red horse, and speaking with a clear and subtle voice. His attributed powers (giving dignities, turning metals into gold, giving true answers) correspond to the functions of Zeus as cosmic sovereign: the bestowal of rank and authority (timae), the transformation of the base into the noble (the alchemical echo of divine grace), and the oracular voice that cannot lie. The red garments and red horse preserve the memory of the storm-god robed in the fire of the sky, the thunderbolt-rider, the God whose color is the red of lightning and of the sacrificial flame. The golden crown needs no interpretation: it is the diadem of the King of the Gods.

ON ZEUS HORKIOS
Zeus Horkios ("Zeus of Oaths") and Zeus Pistios ("Zeus of Good Faith") are among the most ancient and solemn epithets of the Father of Gods and Men. At Olympia, the statue of Zeus Horkios held a thunderbolt in each hand, and the inscription beneath it warned that oath-breakers would face divine punishment. The connection between covenant, kingship, and cosmic order runs through every Indo-European and Semitic tradition: the king who keeps his oath upholds the cosmos; the king who breaks it brings ruin upon his people. Ba'al Berith is this principle given a Canaanite name and a Canaanite altar, but the God behind the name is the same God who sits upon Olympus and holds the thunderbolt.
