something i find amazing is the way devoting yourself to the gods and goddesses can be so integral with everyday life- i can just be studying or reading and be worshipping Athena, i can be doing makeup and skincare and be worshipping Aphrodite, I can be drawing and making art and be worshipping Apollon, i can be learning greek and studying and be worshipping Hermes- i can simply just take a walk in the woods and be worshipping Artemis in the process, it's just so beautiful to me that it's that simple...

you don't have to do so much to worship the gods, you don't have to have big fancy altars, they're happy with you just for simply praying and doing small things in devotion...there's just something so wonderful about that

I'm late to the party but could we know more about Lord Ares??

Of course! Don’t worry, you’re not late!

[ask game]

When He usually shows up for me

Honestly, I haven’t noticed a specific time that Ares shows up!

What He is like for me

Very fatherly energy. He’s really comforting and protective, I feel safe with Him and when His energy is around. He’s very close to my sister too who is also a Hellenic Polytheist

How much have I bonded with Him

Quite a lot. He was the first deity who reached out to me first rather than me reaching out first and I’m really grateful for that. There was also one time where I was sobbing while praying to Him and that was definitely something that made me feel much closer to Him, I’ll never forget it.

The most shocking thing about Him

Honestly, the fact He reached out first. Like I said, that was the first time that had ever happened to me so it was really unexpected. Welcome, but unexpected.

The least shocking thing about Him

The protectiveness. He’s a god of war, of course He’s like that. Especially with His portrayal in some myths being as a protective figure too. Plus I don’t think I’m the only Area worshipper who finds Him to be protective, so it isn’t surprising.

My opinion about Him

I love Ares. I think that He’s misunderstood a lot, as a lot of the gods are. I feel very close to Him. Honestly I don’t know what to say other than I think He’s really great.

reach out to him! im sure he'd love to have 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

"I'm okay with you having DID, I just don't want to talk to or meet any of your alters."

I'm an alter too, you know. Every single time you've interacted with me, I'm an alter. Even before you knew I had DID, even before I knew I had DID, we've been speaking to each other as various different alters. To ask to only interface with one singular version of me because you find the other versions of me uncomfortable to be around is hurtful.

We have little to no control over who's fronting at any particular time. We switch a lot, that's the nature of my system. Even we don't know who's fronting all the time, not least because we're discovering new parts still all these years later.

And, ultimately, they're all me. If you've only met one version of me and like that one version of me, do you truly like me? If you've only ever gotten to know me in that particular mode, how well do you actually know me? How can you say you love me when there's all these other me's that you cast aside and ignore?

You can't say you're okay with my DID but then ask to never get to know my alters. Because, ultimately, that means you never get to know me. And that means you're not okay with my DID- or with me.

I made a playlist with Lord Ares.

We made this playlist by letting Him listen to the songs in our 'Likes' playlist and seeing which ones he responded extra positively to.

I usually listen to this while interacting with Him, while carrying out devotional acts, Tuesday mornings, and when I want comfort (or whenever I can't decide which playlist to listen to lol)

Hail Lord Ares

i was gonna post this on the coming Tuesday for my weekly posts, but he decided that i'll be able to come up with another post in time and that i should post this one today
