In an era where every major world government seems to be hell bent on destroying the lives of its citizens I feel like Ares as God of Rebellion comes into play more than anything

You bet your ass he's out there fighting for justice and freedom with all the protestors out there!!

If you're fearful, turn to Lord Ares. He will show you how to move forward anyway.

If you can't look at yourself in the mirror without feeling shame, turn to Lord Ares. He will show you how to appreciate the body that fights for you everyday.

If you feel like there's no way out, turn to Lord Ares. He will show you how to make your own way.

If you feel jealous and compare yourself with others, turn to Lord Ares. He will show you how to find strength and confidence in yourself.

If you feel like everyone ends up leaving you, turn to Lord Ares. He WILL stay.

If you feel lost, turn to Lord Ares. He will hold your hand and guide you.

His love might be rough at the edges, but he will hold you softly, and carefully. He is rage itself, but he will not be angry at you, no matter how much you hate yourself. He will always be here, no matter what happens.

⚔️Ares Epithets ⚔️

Adhara's post introduction: Hello! Continuing the series of the "Not Most Known Epithets of the Gods" here's Lord Ares ones!! Every God would have one! Just a silly warning, sooo stay tuned for the Deity you're most excited to know about!!

Adámastos: unconquerable ou indestructible;

Álkimos: valiant, brave;

Aphneiós: rich, wealthy;

Alloprósallos: leaning first to one side, then to the other. . This is because Lord Ares is not loyal to any particular side, but he is loyal to the struggle and to the souls who are engaged in it;

Ánax: lord, king;

Phriktós: horrifying;

Vrotoktónos: the slayer of men;

Teikhæsiplítis: he who storms the cities in battle;

Gynaikothoinas: Feasted by Women;

Khalkokorustês: Armed with Bronze;

Thouros: Violent, Furious;

Polemistês talaurinos: He Who Fights Under the Shield's Guard.

Adhara's random fact about the Theoi: Lord Ares cult was often described by ancient authors as something: beastly brutish, with a focus on abundance (probably because they prayed to have His blessing in the wars they fought or to gain materials things, though this may be only my interpretation!) And also as: Feasted by Women; something that is also a given Epithet for Ares himself. Implying his connection with women and how they likely seek his protection.

As felt bad cause I haven’t prayed a lot as of late (planning to give a coffee offering tomorrow at least.

May the Gods be with you, all the love 🫶

I always imagined Ares (Greek god of war) to be incredibly graceful since he was taught to dance before he was taught to fight. When I think of him I think of a mix of gracefulness and deadliness, much like a spearmen. Maybe that’s why Aphrodite was drawn to him, he had a mix beauty amongst the blood shed and she could relate.

praise be to lord ares, god of war and bloodlust, son of mighty king zeus and fair queen hera, glorious god filled with rage — and yet kindness to those whom speak of your name with pride. may your courage and strength find those who need it most. highest praise to my lord!

[paganfantasy]

Great Ares, lord of the battlefield, I stand before you, faithful and true, In this moment of uncertainty and fear, I call upon your might to see me through.

With each breath, I summon your power, Filling my heart with the fire of your will, Guide me as I prepare for the fight, Equip me with courage, resolve, and skill.

Hear my call in this hour of need, Guide my steps with wisdom, and plant the seed. In the chaos of conflict, let clarity reign, Help me discern the path through the pain.

O Mighty Ares, guardian fierce and bold, In the shadows of battle, your courage unfolds. Shield us with strength, through trials we face, With your relentless spirit, grant us your grace.

When danger encircles, may your power ignite, Guide our hands, and bless our fight. With your sword held high, let fear take flight, Wrap us in valor, O God of Might.

With the fires of passion, direct my intent, Teach me to wield both strength and consent. Show me the balance of fury and peace, In your presence, may my fears cease.

In your honor, I vow to be brave, With your eternal strength, my path I will find. So mote it be.

Oh Ares.

Oh Ares, You stand in war, but You are with people who fight for peace just as well.

Oh Ares, You who stays with courageous and stubborn, all the same as You stand with those who get silenced.

Oh Ares, You whose wrath is the fiercest, yet stand with those who talk the calmest, because they know they’re right.

You, with those who have fire in their souls, and those who were dimmed a long time ago.

You, the enemy of fear, the helping hand of the oppressed, the scream of those without a voice, the confident stand of those forced to crawl.

You, who lights the fire of rebellion, You, the sharpness and clarity of the world when panic steps away.

You, the fire in my heart, the instinct to fight, when I cannot breathe.

You, my torch, my sword, my shield.

You, my emotion and my rage. You, who gives me courage when I fight for justice.

You, who is not selfish in his wrath. You, who helps me fight for those who were cast aside.

[seaphine]

If it is meant for you, it will cross oceans, distances, and doubts to reach you.

Everyone says Ares feels like protests and Anger

And he does but he also feels like running to your big brother for help,

Crying into the chest of a man who won’t hurt you,

Someone teaching you how to throw a punch, with no judgement

Someone picking you up when you fall and scrape your self up

He feels like tattoos of a woman with snakes for hair to remind yourself you can’t be broken

He feels like someone finally recognizing the anger and rage inside you with honor and acceptance instead of demanding peace and forgiveness

Yes girls and boys Ares is big and scary and in the spirit of rebellion but he’s also a safe place to run don’t forget that 💕
