Re: The Gods
Have you tried apologizing and making offerings? One way to get the blessing of Zeus in your house is to honor the agricultural side of him (it's a little less terrorizing than the kingly side of infallible will). Get a mason jar with a tight fitting lid, preferably with a one-piece lid and fill it will olive oil, water, and honey. Close the lid tightly and give it a good shake. Open it up and add herbs and other things significant to you. I usually add bay leaves, some grapes or cranberries (depending on the season), a piece of chocolate, some amber.. the possibilities are endless. Place this jar in your pantry and re-do it on the new moon of each month. Each time pray for his blessing over the house and perhaps pour some wine into the ground for him (water it down though). Keep it up and perhaps he will forgive you for any comments you've made.
If that doesn't work you could try appealing to Hermes, his messenger. The Olympians were believed to have human like emotions, and nothing kills a grudge faster than a heart felt apology. Just don't focus on any negative energy that may or may not be present. Zeus was known as "Deus Agaithos" or "The Good God". He was also seen as the God who loved mankind more than any other deity. He is strong-willed like a father, but also compassionate in times of need.

Oh, and don't worry about the jar getting moldy. In my less-pious times I've left the same jar sitting for 3-4 months and opened it up without any spores jumping at me and no visible mold. Honey and garlic are anti-microbials so as long as you're washing and refilling the jar each month there shouldn't be any funkies in there!
