#lord mars

[highestelf420]

Lord Ares showed me that I can suffer, thrash, writhe, cry and cry, sob, dry-heave, scream, lash out, crash out, fall apart, lay catatonic, undergo humiliation, lose everything, and more, all over, and over, and over again.

These are not signs of weakness

these are all symbols of the warrior

With Him by my side, I always get back up.

He may lose battles. He always wins the war.

Ares - the Greek god of war. Woodcut engraving from the the book "Der Olymp oder die Mythologie der Griechen und Römer (The Olympus or the Mythology of the Greeks and Romans)", published by A.H. Petiscus in C.F. Amelang's Verlag, Leipzig (1878, 18th edition)

[apollophanes]

Praise be to All-Powerful Ares!

Glory to Mars the Avenger!

Mighty Lord of the battlefield

He who is ever strong

He who protects

He who brings hope and courage

May Your name never leave our hearts

Another devotional moodboard for Lord Mars, this time focusing on what I consider a softer aspect of His; Lord of Agriculture.

[highestelf420]

Humanity grasps for Him next,

Far-reaching, bronzed Lord Mars.

Men roused; and women sexed,

Do you see His scars?

The other night, I went outside to stargaze and thought to ask Father Mars: “How powerful am I? What am I capable of? What are my upper limits? What is my power?” After pondering this, I looked up and suddenly noticed a massive dragon, formed of cloud, above me in the sky. A star was its glittering eye, and it was moving to swallow the moon.

Father Mars came to me in a vision last night.

To be clear, this wasn’t a full-on astral projection like I’ve had a few times. I was in deep meditation and received visuals.

He was soo handsome… curly dark hair, I couldn’t help but think of the words, “space prince.” I thought of a Final Fantasy or Dragon Ball character, and even Prince Endymion from Sailor Moon. He wore an armored battle suit and helm, which were a worn bronze with a golden shift.

Our surroundings kept changing; for the first part of my vision we were standing on the red, dusty surface of the planet Mars- his planet- with the deep space ahead of us. Then, we were in what appeared to be an ancient temple (I also thought of Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena).

He did not speak to me, but just looked at me with immense love and adoration, which provided me with all the comfort I’d ever need.

Lord Mars has made me feel at peace with the problems in my life.
