Ares

bloody God of battle lust and masculinity, violent protector of the innocent and wronged

magnanimous, unconquer'd, boistrous Mars, in darts rejoicing, and in bloody wars fierce and untam'd, whose mighty pow'r can make the strongest walls from their foundations shake: Mortal destroying king, defil'd with gore, pleas'd with war's dreadful and tumultuous roar: Thee, human blood, and swords, and spears delight, and the dire ruin of mad savage fight. Stay, furious contests, and avenging strife, whose works with woe, embitter human life; To lovely Venus [Kypris], and to Bacchus [Lyaios] yield, to Ceres [Deo] give the weapons of the field; encourage peace, to gentle works inclin'd, and give abundance, with benignant mind.

⪻ Mabon ap Modron ⪼

Pre-christian Welsh god, and son of Modron in the myths of King Arthur, Mabon pulled the razor from betwixt the boar’s scalp. He was stolen from his mother's arms when he was three nights old. Mentioned in the myths of King Arthur as a member of his party, the salmon of Llyn Llyw was the only one who knew of his prison. Arthur’s men were led to him, Mabon singing his lamentations and griefs of his fate. He is retrieved in a daring rescue.

Mabon has origins as a deity associated with love, youth, and as the Great Son/Divine Youth as his name implies. There is little evidence that Mabon was celebrated in Celtic countries and the term Mabon as a wiccan holiday was applied as recently as the 1970's. In modern UPG, he is associated with the autumn equinox/Alban Elfed, love, sex, fiery red hair, warriors, hounds, the final harvest of the year, and the human rights of prisoners and refugees.

Osiris, the Great has to be one of the hardest spirits for me to connect to. ⚱️💀⚰️⚖️

Ever elusive to me, he’s very much like a shadow for me to catch as I try to connect with him and conceptualize him. It’s taken me years to connect enough for him to share his history, his wisdom and his purpose with me. He’s sent a few others to test the waters and for me to get used to before we both agreed to walk toward each other. As a patron spirit to me, this is a new journey. This feels different. It feels solemn. He’s not cold but he’s serious in his approach.

🌊💀Hekate Einalia 🖤🦈

“And upon those who work the bright, storm-tossed sea and pray to Hecate and the loud sounding Earth-shaker, the illustrious goddess easily bestows a big haul of fish, and easily she takes it away once it has been seen, if she so wishes in her spirit.”

Hesiod, Theogony, 8th C BCE
