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

I've been feeling distant from Lord Mars recently and I'm finding myself.. sad and lost at the feeling so I decided to try to make a devotional for another aspect of Him.

I felt drawn to an aspect of Him from before He was Protector of Rome and before He was God of Agriculture; from when Lord Mars may have been a rustic god. A god that stood at the border between the wild and the city. A god of savagery and freedom. I attempted to hone in on this aspect, envisioning it into a moodboard. I hope I did His wildness justice.

It hasn't felt like I've had very much freedom recently. Everything has been so.. chaotic and I've resorted to digital escapism as a result. Maybe that's why I feel so distant from Lord Mars recently. It certainly doesn't feel like He's leaving my practice. I've just.. become distracted and maybe I could learn something from this side of Mars.

A devotional moodboard for Lord Mars and how I see Him. Though traditionally venerated on Tuesday, I dedicate Fridays to Lord Mars and His domains.

Protector of Rome. Father of it's founders. Lord of justice.
