Maat's Power Ritual
Queen of Truth, Lady of the Straight Path, the Law of Laws, Destroyer of Izfet
- This Ritual is based on vibrating the Runes and making certain affirmations. Raising your energies before the Ritual is advised.
- The Sigil that is provided is the point of focus for this Ritual.
- The Runes that are done here can be vibrated around the center of the Sigil, where the Shenu Protection Ring is. You can imagine this lighting up so much, like the Sun has a layer of light surrounding all of it.
- Vibrate these Runes in a short version [i.e., do not draw the runic vibration on a very big breath, especially for those who are new and can't do that many vibrations]. Click here to pronounce the runes.
- This Ritual contains 210 Vibrations, which is about 2 circles of Mala beads. If you can't do that many, reduce the number of vibrations by half [e.g., instead of vibrating the Runes 10 times each, only do 5 vibrations].

Tiwazx10The Temple of Zeus Ministries is Calling You,
We praise your Name, we praise your Feather, we praise the Scale upon which all truth is measured.
Guide us to the Straight Path.
You who are blessed by Zeus and by Atum and by all the Gods of Many Names:
turn your face toward us, for we walk toward you.

Othalax10Tiwazx10Before the first temple was raised, you were the Law by which the stones were laid.
We call on you in the Sacred Names of the Gods,
In the Name of Zeus, in the Name of Atum, in the Names of All who reign:
You, who looks upon the people and says: "These people shall now walk on the Heavenly and the Straight Path. I will purify them, and I will uphold their Names!"
And all the Gods respond: "Truly, for this is the Law of Maat."
Every God of Every Name has spoken thus. Every tongue that utters truth speaks your language.

Laguzx10Sowilox10Lady of the Eternal Law,
Absolve us of wrongdoing and transgressions,
Vindicate us of the unholy curses of our persecutors.
As Atum created order from the formless waters, so you sustain that order breath by breath.
The Gods of Many Names bow to one Law, and that Law is you.

Berkanox10Laguzx10Blessed are you in every Name by which the Gods have ever been called.
Great are You, whom all the Gods listen to carefully.
Hidden are your mysteries in the Straight Path,
In which no soul that is crooked doth enter.
For the Path is narrow as the edge of the Feather, and only the true of heart may walk upon it.
Berkanox10Laguzx10Fehux10Lead us with grace, love, and care,
Do not forsake us in the eyes of your Eternal Law,
Elevate us to uphold your Declared Statutes.
For we are not perfect, but we turn our faces toward perfection.
Atum breathed the world into being, and you, Maat, gave that breath its shape.
Shape us. Straighten what is crooked within us. We submit to the Feather.

Thurisazx10Remove the work of Izfet & Garagah from the soul and the inner world of all Zevists,
Crush the oppositional force of evil, error, confusion, and disarray that surrounds them,
For the Gods have always said of you: "Greatest is the Power of Maat, the Destroyer of Izfet! Crushed are Izfet & Garagah, now and forever!"
As Ra slays the serpent Apophis each night so the Sun may rise,
so you, Maat, slay the serpent of falsehood so that truth may stand.
Zeus has decreed it. Atum has decreed it. The Gods of Many Names have spoken as one: Izfet shall not prevail.
The Goetic tradition preserved you as Morax, the twenty-first spirit, an Earl and President commanding 30 legions. The mouths of Yehubor have uttered of you "a spirit who teaches astronomy and the liberal sciences." The Zevists know the truth: You are MAAT, the Law of Laws, the Feather against which every heart is weighed. She who teaches the sciences teaches the order of the cosmos itself. She who knows the stars knows the Law that governs them.
We declare the truth of your identity. We recognize you for who you Truly are.
"You are the Queen of Truth,
The protector of Justice, Order, and Creation.
Nobody shall tread on the path of Injustice,
Let us be the ones who walk in your Justice!"
"Maat, Ma-Atit, Ma-Atem, Ma-Atah,
You, of the Soundless Name,
You, of the Straight Path,
You, of the Law Of Laws,
Honored are You, Now and Forever!"
In Maat's Name,
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Maat's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus, or the one below. Let yourself be immersed and receive energy from Maat.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

On Maat
Maat (Egyptian: Maata) is the Egyptian Goddess and cosmic principle of truth, justice, order, balance, and righteous conduct. She is the daughter of Ra and the foundation upon which all creation rests. In the Weighing of the Heart ceremony (Book of the Dead, Chapter 125), the heart of the deceased is weighed against Maat's feather: if the heart is lighter, the soul passes into the Field of Reeds; if heavier, it is consumed by Ammit. Maat is not merely a Goddess but the operating principle of the cosmos: without Maat, the universe dissolves into Izfet (chaos, entropy, untruth). The Pharaoh's primary duty was to "establish Maat" (semaa Maata), meaning to maintain cosmic order through righteous rule. In Zevist theology, Maat is the crown of the ten therapeutic terms and the ultimate positive principle against which all Izfet is measured.

On Izfet and Garagah
Izfet (Egyptian: jsft, also Isfet) is the cosmic opposite of Maat: chaos, falsehood, injustice, entropy. In Zevist theological pathology, Izfet is the crown of the ten pathological terms, representing the total dissolution of sacred order. Garagah is the force of spiritual contamination and parasitic attachment. The ritual's invocation to "crush the head of Izfet" echoes the Coffin Texts' descriptions of the daily battle between Ra and Apophis (the serpent of chaos), where order must be actively maintained against entropy through ritual, speech, and righteous action.
On Morax (Goetic #21)
The Goetia lists Morax (also Marax, Foraii) as the twenty-first spirit: an Earl and President commanding 30 legions. His attributed powers (teaching astronomy, the liberal sciences, and the virtues of herbs and precious stones) correspond to Maat's domain as the principle of cosmic order that governs the movements of stars, the properties of nature, and the laws of the material world. Knowledge of the cosmos is knowledge of Maat, for Maat is the order that makes knowledge possible.
