This is your reminder to dust of your altars

(I've been super busy and my altars are in a place that collects a ton of dust oops...cleaning it now)

Does anyone have any tips for continuing to have faith and trust in your deity even when you aren't receiving any signs of their presence? I feel bad but it's something that I really struggle with.

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

I highly recommend that everyone grieving the election results takes some time away from the Internet in these upcoming days. Genuinely, log off, go out into nature if you can, read a book, draw or paint or knit or work out or whatever you can do offline. Even watch a comforting show or movie from childhood. Get offline. Clear your head. Take some deep breaths. It sounds silly, but it might seriously help.

Reminder that the orange Cheeto man is not worth your life. We are not doomed. Our human rights will not immediately evaporate into thin air. Most things that Trump does can likely be undone in the next presidency, and there WILL be a next presidency. As much as he likes to think he's a dictator with unlimited power, he is not. That's not the way our system works, thankfully.

Reminder that the suicide hotline number in the US is 988. You can also contact The Trevor Project. This election is NOT worth your life, I promise you.

Weekly Ares post. Happy Tuesday.

Things that may not count as offerings/devotional acts but I still think of Him when I do it:

Fixing my posture

Stopping myself from lashing out

Lashing out

Studying

Calling out hypocrites

Reading angsty romantic stories, especially those with some violence

Work/ labor, especially ones that gets my hands dirty

Challenging myself to do things within a time limit

Having a good cry

Forcing myself out of bed

Self-care, even if I really don't feel like doing it

Playing violent video games

Staying sober

Reading posts about him

Wearing masculine clothing while strutting around like a feminine model

Tidying my room

Wearing red

Carrying around self-defense weapons

Being stubborn

Unmasking

When something physically hits me

Being honest

Shadow work

Failing but trying again

Hail Lord Ares

Pssst hey kid. Wanna cleanse your home for free with no effort?

Open a window.

That's it. That's all you have to do. Open a window and let Nature cleanse the space. Free and easy down the road we go.

Enough about what other people keep telling you that you should think, what do you think about your spirituality? What do you think about the gods? What do you think you should do? Think for yourself and about what you want. What is religion or spirituality to you?

Rage, from it carved me my Father And bestowed me a life with a battlecry. So let rage be I, do not blame me for who I am made to be. And if one day no water shall be enough to wash the sins of my my bloodied, battle-torn knuckles And my bloodlust existence; Put my flesh on his altar. For my sins are a devotion in the name of Him And the blood spilling down my hands are a libation in his name. A somewhat mediocre poem i wrote in 10 minutes when i was unfathomably enraged, in the name of Ares. I'm experiencing my Mars return and I'm thankful that he guides me through this time.
