Ares Devotee - Tumblr Posts

I’m your rose.

It hurts me to admit that I miss you. I miss your hands resting on my hips and you looking down at me. I want to touch you, your broad shoulders and your big arms. I love you towering over me and staring at me as if I am a deer caught in the forest and you are the big bulky bear hunting down his prey.

I hate to start a letter this desperate for you. But you HAVE to know that I miss you Ares. You are my salvation.

I know that I am weak, physically. So I need my protector. I need you. You can’t let go of this responsibility, it’s what you signed up for willingly. And now? I oblige you to kneel down and love me like a famished wolf. The wolf that finally found his lovely sheep. The sweetest and prettiest woman on Earth.

I need you to love me, to show it to me. Caress my skin and kiss my freckles all over my body, count them if you dare. I want you to prey for the sun you’ve surrendered to, that is my body and my soul. You know that I was going to be the end of your world. And you crave me more than before.

Now come to me, settle your way to my heart. Come back to me and cherish the magnificent aura that we create once we’re back together.

My love please give me your love and everything. I need you. Now.

Prayer to Ares for the Safety of a Soldier

Bold-hearted Ares, bright-helmed son of thundering Zeus and noble Hera, well-honored god of war, any battle will you face, any foe will you fight, without fear and without hestitation. Ares, god of warriors, ally of those who risk their lives on the field, to you do soldiers offer their prayers. You know each one’s name, O Ares, you know their lives, you know their worth. Great Ares, I pray to you, watch over ____________ who heeded your call, who practices your art, whose name you know well, for s/he is one of your own who does you honor with each day s/he serves. Ares, I pray to you.

In general 

Bright-helmed Ares, strong of arm and stern of visage, firm of stance, unyielding of will, ever ready to face any foe, to hold the line against all who may come, to battle until the end. Ares, son of noble Zeus and wise Hera, cherished by golden Aphrodite, honored by those who call on you for strength and courage, in the north were you much honored in times of old, in Thrace and Thessaly were you held in esteem by those whose lives were harsh, whose world was stony, whose comforts were hard-won. Ares who answers the prayers of the despairing, I honor you

For Courage

Ares, fierce-hearted son of Zeus and noble Hera, full-famed you are as god of war. To you do soldiers pray when battle is most heated, when mettle is most needed. To you as well do we turn in desperate times, to you do we call for strength, for the spirit to endure. You understand the terror of struggle and strife, you confront it in every way. Ares, your courage is unquestioned, your might and your prowess unequaled. Ares, friend to those in direst need, I pray to you, grant me the nerve to face what must be faced, grant me the will to do what must be done, grant me the heart to forge ahead.

I use resources, I do not own the info, and most deep dives have UPG (that I use in my work.) And I only take some information from sources. I am 14, this is my hobby, I am learning but I spent many hours and days on this, and I am always open to criticism. I have been doing worship for 5 years. Please know you can use the info, I do not sue, but I will take action if this work is used without permission and not put as a resource if used in any work. without permisson and not put as a resource if used in any work, for the public.

I just got ✨lightly scolded✨ by my Patrons and Matron for not asking Them for more help with what I want or need. And that I give too much energy and time to Them.

It’s such an… Odd feeling. That I’m doing too much and not asking for more. Never thought I’d actually say that. Huh…

All that said, I’m so grateful for my divine team. They know me better than I’ll ever know myself. I love Them wholeheartedly. 🥹💘

Hello, I'd just like to say- I've heard some hellenic witches talk about offering Ares energy drinks and- the new ultra gold energy is literally themed after ambrosia and nectar, a food/drink consumed by the gods- so aha- planning on offering some to Ares (even tho it isn't ambrosia its an energy drink that references it and like- idk the moment I read the little Greek references on the side I instantly felt I had to share it with him :] ) (plus it also says it tastes like pineapple and like- that shits good asf)

Prayers to the Gods for the Palestinian people.

Keep sharing, keeping protesting, keep b0ycotting, but your prayers also have power, not just for yourself, but for others too. The Gods weep as we do at this injustice. They are just as angry as we are. The Gods will always care about injustice. Remember Xenia.

No one should stay silent about this or any other injustices. Speak up, protest, share, and pray

(Also please excuse any spelling, grammar, and other errors,, I did read over it but yknow)

Thinking about the crossover between Ares in myth and love 🥺. Thinking about how (most of) the times he has enacted wrath, it was to avenge his family. Thinking about how the only reason he joined the Trojan war was out of love for his mother and they only reason he betrayed her (by switching to the side of the Trojans) was for love of Aphrodite. Thinking about how the only times Ares acts recklessly and almost incured the wrath of Zeus was to avenge his slain children. Thinking about the symbolism of Aphrodite being Ares main consort.

Thinking about how mythically, Ares might be considered the most loving God (on my Olympus at least). He is the God of manliness (that’s actually one of his domains 😭) and so it makes sense for him to be a near perfect father, husband (partner), son, and overall supporting figure

Ofc I’m a very big fan of the actual Ares (Ares devotee 🙋), but I love reading his myths just because of much nuance there is. I know this weird to say, but his character (😭) is very well written overall in myth. I’ll say the Ancient Greek poets cooked with most ares myths. I’m very Ares brained, so I actually made a video on this, so if you’re interested in a more in depth talk of this, check it out (yes I just plugged my channel lol)! I plan on making a deity deep dive on Ares one day, but I’ve been really thinking about these parallels,,,

Ares when I convince myself that he hates me again:

Context: my brain does get a bit silly sometimes and this only happens with Ares because I’m devoted to him and I hear from him the most 💀

Anyways, sorry bestie but you agreed to this when I devoted myself to you (jk)

happy ares day y'all, have some shitty memes🔥⚔️🐉

Deities never fail to surprise and amaze me

My brain has decided to be cute lately and decided that I am no longer able to function, so I was telling that to my deities (particularly Aphrodite and Ares) and I asked them to be a little more present during this time (/ showing me that they are present) and idk why, whenever I do this, I just forget 💀 so then I start seeing a bunch of signs of them and I’m like ???? And THEN I remember 😭

And it’s not like I expect them to ignore me, but I’m still surprised when they actually do what I ask 😭The Gods are good fr 🤍
