This was a wonderful video, however, I do want to point out. I do believe, In my opinion, that your blood in some cases is necessary and needed for very powerful Magicks because it is the elixir of life and it is the the life force and you offering a drop of your blood is really proving and showing to that God that you are willing to take this. Beyond that you are really truthful with this. So in certain circumstances only and extreme circumstances, I do think that I drop of your own blood is very powerful. But as you said it is taking it to the extreme but only needs to be used for extreme circumstances And this can be put for any deity and should be done safely of course just my personal gnosis and my personal what I've learned over the years of practicing but fake blood is very synthetic. So I think that you might want to make something that is natural. Like maybe using some sort of red berry to die some oil with so it's not so synthetic. But that's my personal opinion again and then making the fake blood that it is
@@bcity94 I agree. I was really interested in and kind of called to set just the other day. He really put his name forward to me all the sudden he came out of nowhere and I just started thinking about him very much. So I agree I would think about set would be very interesting and he would do a great job explaining this to you because he does a lot of research
Yeah, I have a question...why did you ignore me when I approached you as a Native American regarding our practice of spirit animals and what you'd gotten wrong about our practices in the comments section of your last video? I was more than respectful in my comments, yet you ignored me entirely. I figured that you'd want to be respectful and actually listen so that your viewers would be better informed, and our spirituality respected, by discussing the matter, not just ignore us entirely! What gives?
As a long time devote of Ares, while he can help with protection and hexes; he is also helpful with channeling your anger into powerful outlets like boxing, weightlifting running, etc, and developing of morals. He is also a guardian of women and of SA victims (which is cited in his mythos with the assault of his daughter). Dragons blood, frankincense and myrrh do tend to be his favorite. He is one of the ONLY Theoi yo accept blood offerings as blood contains miasma. His favourite is animal blood, like the left overs that are in the packages of steak and chicken.
Thank you for the idea of the blood offerings from open meat packets. I'm closeted so my parents would question the shit out of me if i bought a jug of pigs blood but they wouldn't really notice me pouring out the blood from a packet as an offering.
Well, technically speaking, most of Them take blood offerings. The miasma brought upon by blood is in human bloodshed. Blood was splashed on the altar after an animal was sacrificed
He's coming across to me like a protective big brother type, not scary, just like how most older siblings demand for respect, might get mad at you from time to time but still protect you.
I like to think that Athena represents the geopolitical side of war, favoring those either on top who make the big decisions such as country leaders or generals who come up with strategy or those who are heroes and represent the "perfect elite soldier". While Ares on the other hand represents the everyday foot solider, the men who were drafted and forced on the frontline to fight. To such soldiers war is chaotic, messy and horrific because these men often aren't aware or told of the greater strategy, only fighting to hopefully be able to live another day - that is why Ares's form of combat appears to be raw, passionate and chaotic.
Thank you!! Earlier this year Ares came through loud, clear, unmistakingly aggressive and a bit in my face. I work with him exclusively for protections of myself, loved ones, and home. I have also worked with him to help my anger issues, and learning to embrace them. I laughed so hard about the offering of fake blood. Because this was one of the first requests from him for offering.
I don't know who needs to hear this but don't offer Ares fake blood. Blood is life. Blood is sacred. To offer the lifeblood of a being is among the most holy of offerings because you are giving actual life. It's the kind of thing that needs to be done right or not at all. If you don't want to give Ares blood then give Him wine or frankincense or water or even just a prayer. He is the God of War. Emphasis on God. Do it right.
I am not into Greek mythology, I am kemetic, but Ares is really fascinating. I became interested in him when I looked up, out of curiosity, the meaning of my own name. We all know that the Romans used the Greek gods for their religion and changed their names: Zeus is Jupiter (in Italian "Giove"), for example, but Ares is Mars, "Marte" in Italian. I am Italian and my name is Martina, which literally means "Dedicated to Mars; warlike," and I can't say I am not proud of this name!😆
He's not difficult or scary at all, this is simply not true! He's very, very kind and protective once you have a relationship with him build through prayers and offerings. This guy says so many wrong things, I don't think whoever he connected with even was Ares. He loves humans and is especially protective of veterans and women. He's wonderful!
I've read that Ares is also a fighter for minorities. My favorite story of him is how he defended one of daughters from getting rap3d and protecting her. Ares isn't ALWAYS out for blood and gore. He is an awesome deity to work with😍
Respectfully, I don’t think he’s anymore difficult to work with than any other deity. He’s the first deity that came to me. He’s a helped me to channel my anger in healthy ways and encouraged me to get therapy and do shadow work. I also see him as a protector. I’d argue that Aphrodite is harder to work with. I love her and I have an altar dedicated to them both. She’s helping with my confidence and self love. But she doesn’t like it when I slip up and often reminds me that she requires a lot of veneration. I often give them offerings together. He likes black coffee and she likes wine.
I work with Ares. He was/is the first one i ever worked with and i mean (i don't really ask for a lot of things-) but, i don't really think he's hard to work with at all. Not at all acually. This man was by my side whenever i cry. Like- He spawns there and calms me down in a second. He cheks in on me from time to time. That man is like the dad i never had!
I am very excited to start working with Ares. I had a Osteomanthy reading that said he was reaching out to me. I work with Norse Deities, but I am looking to open my practice. Plus I have been wanting to look into Hellenism. He will be my first official outside deity. I feel like he is definitely a very intense deity to work with, but I definitely need it.
Funnily enough, recently I've felt a sort of intuitive reaching-out from Ares for the purpose of self-improvement. For that purpose, lately I've devoting workouts to him. I've committed to personal training, and before my workouts I put on my lil garnet bracelet with a lil sword charm and keep him in mind when I'm pushing through reps.
OMG about time i see someone talk about ARES! I love working with him! He's overprotective of me. I have ppl always after me and that get jealous over me and try to always get in my way. I need him. Ladies you can give him a vile of your period blood if you want. He's the one male that doesn't mind. He also likes deep purple, anything fire related and sailor mars lol he likes the sailor mars doll i gave him.
I don't know a thing about witchcraft, but something came to my wife in a dream and told her to tell me "Ares". I started reading about him and found a poem about him relating to returning the burnt remains of the fallen to their families. I felt compelled from that to go out to my firepit and take a piece of broken glass out from a baking glass that burst while i was cooking over it. Ive been keeping that glass with me and I like to tap on it when i do a hard workout and tell him I'm doing for him. Sometimes I pour out some wine, toss out some meat, or cut off a part of a cigar for him. I asked for something once but immediately cut myself on the glass so i dont ask for anything anymore. Life has been going great and sometimes if i offer something to him the wind will pick up significantly for a few seconds. I think he was an ancestor of mine in Western Europe, and the negative aspects of his mythology were because he was a member of a tribes that may have fought with the Greeks at some point. I like working with this guy.
Ares is not difficult or scary to work with at all. Please don’t make people nervous to reach out to him. I’ve been a Hellenic witch for 25 years and have never had issues with any God or Goddess. All they need is consistency, commitment, and respect. Ares literally goes to war for those he loves. His own children were his retinue. His Amazonian daughters never went to war without him by their side. I can go on but my point is that he is nothing to be afraid of and will come to your aid. It almost feels like he’s standing in front of you when you go into difficult situations. Anyway, Lord Ares is kind and good to his devotees
Ares hasn't been at all difficult for me to work with. He's been very protective and gentle with me. I'm assuming it depends on the individual, I've been working with him for about 6 years now
I’ve had my other deities kinda point me toward Ares. I was listing to Sabaton (a metal band that specializes in retelling historical warfare) And Apollo told me “hey, Ares would like this! You should show him this.”
That's amazing 😂 . As someone who works with Apollo , he says so many things that make me laugh, for instance, there was one day where i had my curtains in my room open and the sunlight was coming in , Apollo was standing in the sunlight, then Hades (Another Deity i work with) said "Are you Just Bathing in the sun?" Then Apollo (Like the icon he is) went "I'm not bathing in the sunlight , I'm ✨ Basking✨ in it" 💅. Like, honestly, what an icon🤚
This couldn’t come at a better time! I just got confirmation Ares is joining my path to help out so all this will benefit me to understand him. (Also First comment!)
So I had a question: I heard from many sources that Ares is also a diety that helps people with mental health issues and especially PTSD. There is apparently a lot of SPG around it and also from what I heard it makes sense since going through trauma and mental health issues is very much an inner war that Ares can help you overcome. Do you think working with Ares is a good idea for someone going through a lot of trauma and mental health troubles? Bonus question: What are your views of Ares as the Patreon God of revolutionaries fighting for a just cause?
As an Ares devotee for 3 years, he is 100% the god of revolution for just causes. While he may love love and blood shed but he always fights for the heart and loyalty.
@@Onyxtides I’m honestly and deeply shocked to read this. If I can share with you, I was born and raised in a Catholic family but as I grew older I found my love for Buddhism and Eastern Philosophy. I then began to find my love on exploring and learning religions and reading about the Gods. I am so so so amazed on what you said about working with Ares because if I can share with you. I suffer from a lot of flashbacks and mental health issues especially with anxiety and I remember I had a flash back that I felt a deep admiration for him.
Ive been thinking a lot about Ares as of late. Idk why. When i was on a walk yesterday I wasnt sure i would make it but I asked Ares for strength and as soon as I did I dont know I felt stronger.
i'm curious. How does this all work? How do you interact with deiities? Is this an own religion? And can I start working with them although I am Christian?
@giggsi1006 I know this is coming extremely late, but hun you can do whatever you want. I will say though that the Christian God is stated in the Bible as being a "jealous God" and thus, if you continue to believe in him while working with outside deities, you are technically committing blasphemy. That being said, I was raised Christian but have increasingly separated it from myself and my beliefs. It's probably always going to act as a foundation of my practices, sorta like a filter over everything I do, but I no longer call myself Christian nor have I for a long time. I say this to let you know that still holding onto aspects of your Christian beliefs, even if you choose to no longer worship Jesus and God or call yourself Christian, is still completely valid.
He is also a god of courage, and can in many ways help you threw you fears to overcome your obstacles. I found Ares easier to pray to, and communicate with, but, that is perhaps because Aphrodite is my Matron Goddess, and perhaps he appreciates how much I love and honor Aphrodite, and was willing to hear me out from the get go because of that.
Thanks so much. Someone mentioned Ares and for some reason my interest was peeked. I did not act in it until my mentor said I should start working with Ares. I was actually looking to work with Poseidon and Yemaya. Then I started talking about my fitness journey and that is when he mentioned Ares. He also did warn however, that I should be careful working with Ares.
Do you have a friend or family member that is generally good natured but if someone messes with their friends or family they are ruthless? That’s Ares. He’s nothing to be nervous about and brings an amazing feeling of protection.
I'm very new to this, but as someone looking for a faith and also someone who lifts and does wrestling. Ares came to mind for these things, as I look to hone myself to have courage and strength to face my challenges.
Eh, I feel that in this arena, those of us who menstruate are lucky. I have used my menstrual blood as part of different offerings from time to time. It seems to be appreciated.
Finally another nice video from you! Thanks for guiding us to work with deities brother! I have loved you channel since I will be working with aphrodite and saw your aphrodite on UA-cam channel really made me feel more confident working with her! Thanks and blessed be brother!
Personally I would only make offerings or prayer to Ares in a time of war. I believe that Ares brings courage and radical depth to our fighting spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if a few war vets already did this in Afganistan.
Thank you so much for taking you're time to help all of us!! You've helped me heal and protect myself and become more knowledgeable, ...I feel you on the weather, I'm ready for spring!! Much love joy and strength your way bro!!
Sometimes i use hot sauce for fake blood. Only because i know my patron deity likes spicy things, red, and blood due to her war aspect and so i figured what better than hots sauce? Sometimes i mix a little raw ground beef in there but just a little bit
I want to name an armor Ares. Also, I would like to suggest to ask Ares to help "armor up". Maybe if it is possible if using glamour magic for protection, beauty is not his department but "armor" and helping to create a shield might help.
I’m only just getting into deity work just because I’m looking for that protection especially with the people I know. When you mentioned dogs, is that any type of canine or just specifically domestic canines?
Hi ! I have recently gotten onto Ancestor worship and believe i would feel way more connected to them by working with Ares. Any opinions on that ? Would he deem it disrespectful to «use» his energy instead of working with him for a precise goal ? Any sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated,Thanks.
When I was in my preteen year I was getting in fights being bullied one night a sprint came to me told me no more I'm with you when a fight happened I knew what to do . Could that be Ares? When I get made fun of or being called stupid that person gets in a bad accident. Could he be the one watching out for me since I was a child?
Love the video. As I have been taught in university regarding Ares and Athena. Athena is the goddess of battle strategies. While Ares on the other hand, is the God of the horrors of war. If mythology goes by anything, if you are working with Hephests, Ares might not be welcomed, mainly because Ares got caught sleeping with his wife. Talk about embarrassing for them. Love the video as per usual. So, would you consider yourself a Kemetic? As you deal with the Egyptian pantheon more?
@@AestheticChanelxoxo that doesn't surprise me. Even though Ares had it coming. But getting caught in an unbreakable net while making love to Aphrodite and then have all of Olympus stare at you. Getting caught in an affair and probably not wearing his armour, say to speak. Would probably piss anyone off. Let alone the God of war. Lol.
@@AestheticChanelxoxo OMG why would you do that? 🤣 I would have gone with Hestia if I wanted fire things. No attack, but your comment made cackle a lot!
What about exercising/combat training in his honour? Is the act itself an offering to him or would you set out additional offerings during the exercise?
I was wondering if we could get one on iris goddess of rainbows I know she’s a lesser mentioned goddess but would love more information thank you for your amazing videos
The Lunar Witch, would you be interested in learning about Queen Hestia, Greek goddess of the hearth and virginity? The Ancient Greeks considered Her to be the Chief of the Goddesses; as it was Her that the offerings were given to the Gods. "Hestia: In the high dwellings of all, both deathless Gods and men who walk the earth, You have gained an everlasting abode: glorious is Your portion and Your right [...]"
I know the video isn't about it but i hope you can help me.I've always been really connected to the Sun and solar deities especially Apollo and in the last months I've been feeling something about Ra as well, how could I understand if i should start to worship one or another ?
I have so many questions! Lol 1st one must be, I'm being drawn to Mars & have been watching a lot about him. I've heard r so many times that he & Ares "are very different". What's your view on this? Assuming that there is SOME crossover between them, I wanted to ask about offerings. What about crystals like Carnelian, Hessonite Garnet, or Hematite? Lastly could you do a video on Mars, & offer some advice on working with him please?
Sooo, he’d be cool with wine, rubies, and the blood of the person he takes out for you. I’ll keep this in my pocket if necessary. I don’t believe in karma, but I do believe if you wouldn’t lay hands in the physical then you shouldn’t cast.
So I’ve been in communication with Styx and Charon lately. It’s a very interesting story but I’m having a hard time understanding what this means. I was wondering if you could help me understand.
Hey friend i wanted to mention as one thank you for your wisdom and knowledge as for me it is amazing and two if you are interested i can share at least my knowledge and wisdom of Dragon rulers i work with if you are interested if not that is okay as well.
Please message me back with information about items moving on my alter for Ares. I just added a couple new features and I literally turned around to clean up maybe 3 minutes and the crystals I have on there are now touching. Is this good?
There are certain deities that don't work well with him, but since they are both dealing with battle they tend to respect one another while working together! Other deities though do not work well with him, such as Hephestus for.... Many reasons lol.
@@TheLunarWitch That would make sense otherwise saying other gods work well with him will be equivalent of saying the Egyptian gods Set and Apep goes along well with Horus and Ra. XD.
Im in a very right wing town so I feel a bit alone Im tryi g to work out and stuff to get stronger just in case. I feel like Ares might really help i havent quite decided on him yet but maybe he intruiges me.
I've been reached out by Ares for a long time but I didn't knew it was Ares the Greek god of war😭. I was like "why this war loving fvcker keep appearing in my mind's eye?". I did keep seeing a guy who was always aggressive and fierce leading batallion of armies at his front, wears an armor and has a really charismatic energy. I've always seen this guy almost everyday until now in my 3rd eye. I've heard him scream at me many times with a mad face. I wasn't intimated but it gives me the chills and goosebumps every time. Or when I'm being resilient, disciplined, brave and strong , I can feel an extremely strong connection with this entity. Over time, just today 2023 when I got into Hellenistic Paganism I knew he was Ares as his Greek personality. I was like "Wow friend, you're worshipped . You're famous..." God, I love him so much he's been with me since the beginning even he pesters me in appropriate times Maybe I'm lucky enough not needing a ritual to summon him, but I think it's time to properly thank him and build a better connection. He's not a scary deity. I promise, he's the best when it comes to protection, bravery and being your most fearless authentic self. He's a great and fierce companion, teacher and guide. Thank you so much Lunar Witch!!! I really enjoy your videos. They are of great help.
im getting into deity worship and i feel drawn to ares, nemesis, and hecate. i was wondering if anyone here knew anything about nemesis and what she is like working with?
Thank you all so much for watching! Be sure to leave some feedback down below and if you have any questions feel free to also place them in the comments as well! Blessed be and thank you all so much for the love and support here at The Lunar Witch!

Great video. I am just now starting to learn more about Ares and the more I learn about him the more Im convinced he has always been with me.
Ares 🗡 One of my favorite deities.
He helped me get through one of the hardest years of my life.
he always did
When I met Ares in a dream, he presented as a middle aged man who was very calm, and willing to help me without asking anything. Wise, almost.
You bet he is wise
that's weird you said that, cuz he appeared to me as a middle aged man with salt and pepper hair too

Then Apollo (Like the icon he is) went "I'm not bathing in the sunlight , I'm ✨ Basking✨ in it" 💅. Like, honestly, what an icon🤚
This couldn’t come at a better time! I just got confirmation Ares is joining my path to help out so all this will benefit me to understand him.
(Also First comment!)
He is very interesting for sure I really hope this was helpful!
Ares is my Patron Deity Hekate is my Matron Deity
Good Video
Informative Common Sense
Good Job
Ares came to my 9 yr old, when I looked in his natal chart, almost the exact time he came into his 12th house he came to visit
I really respect this take; thank you, sincerely
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I'm almost crying. I feel hopeful. Already a little stronger. ❤️
So I had a question:
I heard from many sources that Ares is also a diety that helps people with mental health issues and especially PTSD. There is apparently a lot of SPG around it and also from what I heard it makes sense since going through trauma and mental health issues is very much an inner war that Ares can help you overcome. Do you think working with Ares is a good idea for someone going through a lot of trauma and mental health troubles?
Bonus question:
What are your views of Ares as the Patreon God of revolutionaries fighting for a just cause?
As an Ares devotee for 3 years, he is 100% the god of revolution for just causes. While he may love love and blood shed but he always fights for the heart and loyalty.
@@Onyxtides I’m honestly and deeply shocked to read this. If I can share with you, I was born and raised in a Catholic family but as I grew older I found my love for Buddhism and Eastern Philosophy. I then began to find my love on exploring and learning religions and reading about the Gods. I am so so so amazed on what you said about working with Ares because if I can share with you. I suffer from a lot of flashbacks and mental health issues especially with anxiety and I remember I had a flash back that I felt a deep admiration for him.
Ive been thinking a lot about Ares as of late. Idk why. When i was on a walk yesterday I wasnt sure i would make it but I asked Ares for strength and as soon as I did I dont know I felt stronger.
He has recently become my main male deity and I feel very comfortable.
i'm curious. How does this all work? How do you interact with deiities? Is this an own religion? And can I start working with them although I am Christian?
@giggsi1006 I know this is coming extremely late, but hun you can do whatever you want. I will say though that the Christian God is stated in the Bible as being a "jealous God" and thus, if you continue to believe in him while working with outside deities, you are technically committing blasphemy.
That being said, I was raised Christian but have increasingly separated it from myself and my beliefs. It's probably always going to act as a foundation of my practices, sorta like a filter over everything I do, but I no longer call myself Christian nor have I for a long time. I say this to let you know that still holding onto aspects of your Christian beliefs, even if you choose to no longer worship Jesus and God or call yourself Christian, is still completely valid.
He is also a god of courage, and can in many ways help you threw you fears to overcome your obstacles.
I found Ares easier to pray to, and communicate with, but, that is perhaps because Aphrodite is my Matron Goddess, and perhaps he appreciates how much I love and honor Aphrodite, and was willing to hear me out from the get go because of that.
That could be the case yes! Nonetheless I am very appreciative of your input for others to see and learn, and wish you the brightest blessings 🌒🌕🌘
Thanks so much. Someone mentioned Ares and for some reason my interest was peeked. I did not act in it until my mentor said I should start working with Ares. I was actually looking to work with Poseidon and Yemaya. Then I started talking about my fitness journey and that is when he mentioned Ares. He also did warn however, that I should be careful working with Ares.
Do you have a friend or family member that is generally good natured but if someone messes with their friends or family they are ruthless? That’s Ares. He’s nothing to be nervous about and brings an amazing feeling of protection.
While I'm not interested in working with Ares, thank you for sharing a perspective on working with him!
Fenugreek tea on Tuesdays!!
I'm very new to this, but as someone looking for a faith and also someone who lifts and does wrestling. Ares came to mind for these things, as I look to hone myself to have courage and strength to face my challenges.
I’m just beginning to incorporate spirituality into my life, and I’ve been really enjoying your videos
I’d love to hear about Ares’ sister, Eris.
I have noticed that both him and Aphrodite are major sibling figures. He is like a brother, and she is like a sister to me.
In Proclus' Commentary on Plato's Timaeus, I.3.10, bloodstone (a.k.a. heliotrope) is described as sunthemata of the Sun.
Eh, I feel that in this arena, those of us who menstruate are lucky. I have used my menstrual blood as part of different offerings from time to time. It seems to be appreciated.
3AM in the morning and finally im quite on time
You're very welcome! Blessed be!
Could you do a video on working with Mars? I’m interested in learning about the similarities/differences between the two
I love watching your videos I learn so much from it.
Thank you so much for this information!
I would love to see a video on Hephaestus and /or Prometheus 🔥
Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
I've always felt connected to Ares sicne i first learned of him as a kid. He's currently the only god i work with as of now.
Wie arbeitest du mit ihm?
Your channel is very resourceful. Thank you. 🙏🏾🌸💗
Finally another nice video from you! Thanks for guiding us to work with deities brother! I have loved you channel since I will be working with aphrodite and saw your aphrodite on UA-cam channel really made me feel more confident working with her! Thanks and blessed be brother!
I would really love to see a video on the Greek Moon Goddess Selene/ Luna.
Personally I would only make offerings or prayer to Ares in a time of war. I believe that Ares brings courage and radical depth to our fighting spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if a few war vets already did this in Afganistan.
Thank you so much for taking you're time to help all of us!! You've helped me heal and protect myself and become more knowledgeable, ...I feel you on the weather, I'm ready for spring!! Much love joy and strength your way bro!!
Sometimes i use hot sauce for fake blood. Only because i know my patron deity likes spicy things, red, and blood due to her war aspect and so i figured what better than hots sauce? Sometimes i mix a little raw ground beef in there but just a little bit
That is an awesome idea! Thank you for putting your input in!
@@TheLunarWitch thanks 🤗
Loved this Video! Could Thor be on your list of deities to do next?
Oddly enough i am a aries but always felt as if aries has been with me . Also he has always stresses the will . And not being overly dependent.
Yes, the will. Heard it from Ares too many times.
Love your channel
Thank you for sharing that
Omg the blag part made me giggle but I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for the information :>
A offering ya I would just give him a rock. All jokes aside a flower works.
I wanna get ares to motivate me to workout
Hermes is good for that as well
I was wondering if you can make one about the Norse Goddess Hel
Would rocks work for Ares I usually give natural offerings from whatever I can find outside. I feel like rocks can represent strength.
Hail Ares!
so Ares likes bloodstone? that is one of my birthstones as a Pisces.
I want to name an armor Ares. Also, I would like to suggest to ask Ares to help "armor up". Maybe if it is possible if using glamour magic for protection, beauty is not his department but "armor" and helping to create a shield might help.
That's not a bad idea at all!
I’m only just getting into deity work just because I’m looking for that protection especially with the people I know. When you mentioned dogs, is that any type of canine or just specifically domestic canines?
Hi !
I have recently gotten onto Ancestor worship and believe i would feel way more connected to them by working with Ares.
Any opinions on that ? Would he deem it disrespectful to «use» his energy instead of working with him for a precise goal ?
Any sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated,Thanks.
When I was in my preteen year I was getting in fights being bullied one night a sprint came to me told me no more I'm with you when a fight happened I knew what to do . Could that be Ares? When I get made fun of or being called stupid that person gets in a bad accident. Could he be the one watching out for me since I was a child?
Hey I know this is a stretch but is it possible you can make a video on jormungandr im just so connected to him
A stretch? He's on the list my friend! He's about 6 deity videos away!
@@TheLunarWitch omg that’s awesome to hear I can’t wait blessed be my friend
Would you be down to make a video on Set/Seth I don’t see a lot of people working with him
I was hoping to learn more about working with Ares if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Love the video. As I have been taught in university regarding Ares and Athena. Athena is the goddess of battle strategies. While Ares on the other hand, is the God of the horrors of war. If mythology goes by anything, if you are working with Hephests, Ares might not be welcomed, mainly because Ares got caught sleeping with his wife. Talk about embarrassing for them. Love the video as per usual. So, would you consider yourself a Kemetic? As you deal with the Egyptian pantheon more?
Ares almost lit my kitchen on fire bc I asked him if I could have Hephaestus help me with coals and fire
@@AestheticChanelxoxo that doesn't surprise me. Even though Ares had it coming. But getting caught in an unbreakable net while making love to Aphrodite and then have all of Olympus stare at you. Getting caught in an affair and probably not wearing his armour, say to speak. Would probably piss anyone off. Let alone the God of war. Lol.
@@AestheticChanelxoxo OMG why would you do that? 🤣 I would have gone with Hestia if I wanted fire things. No attack, but your comment made cackle a lot!
Would you consider doing a spirit animal guide video and what each one might mean?
please give me a video on Hera i just started working with Her !
Can you do a video for Odin/Woden?
What about exercising/combat training in his honour? Is the act itself an offering to him or would you set out additional offerings during the exercise?
U can workout with him as an offering or taking a boxing class
I heard about that but wasn't sure if it was true so I actually appreciate that clarification!
@@TheLunarWitch I workout with him and Hermès everyday and since u replied can u work with both Aphrodite and Artemis?
How do I take a boxing class with hil
Do you have a video on how to work with Posiden or Hephaestus?
I was wondering if we could get one on iris goddess of rainbows I know she’s a lesser mentioned goddess but would love more information thank you for your amazing videos
wrote it down love! I will do it when it comes up in line!
@@TheLunarWitch thank you very much I greatly appreciate it all of your videos are amazing
Nice video ♥️ I love greek gods!
The Lunar Witch, would you be interested in learning about Queen Hestia, Greek goddess of the hearth and virginity?
The Ancient Greeks considered Her to be the Chief of the Goddesses; as it was Her that the offerings were given to the Gods.
"Hestia:
In the high dwellings of all, both deathless Gods and men who walk the earth, You have gained an everlasting abode: glorious is Your portion and Your right [...]"
I know the video isn't about it but i hope you can help me.I've always been really connected to the Sun and solar deities especially Apollo and in the last months I've been feeling something about Ra as well, how could I understand if i should start to worship one or another ?
It all makes sense now
Can you do a video about Boreas?
I have so many questions! Lol 1st one must be, I'm being drawn to Mars & have been watching a lot about him. I've heard r so many times that he & Ares "are very different". What's your view on this? Assuming that there is SOME crossover between them, I wanted to ask about offerings. What about crystals like Carnelian, Hessonite Garnet, or Hematite? Lastly could you do a video on Mars, & offer some advice on working with him please?
I asked for a sign to see if he was ready to work with me. I said send me another snake. He sent me three snakes🤨
I've been thinking of working with him because I have many struggles with mental health. The internal battles. Would he find that disrespectful?
Sooo, he’d be cool with wine, rubies, and the blood of the person he takes out for you. I’ll keep this in my pocket if necessary.
I don’t believe in karma, but I do believe if you wouldn’t lay hands in the physical then you shouldn’t cast.
So I’ve been in communication with Styx and Charon lately. It’s a very interesting story but I’m having a hard time understanding what this means. I was wondering if you could help me understand.
Hey friend i wanted to mention as one thank you for your wisdom and knowledge as for me it is amazing and two if you are interested i can share at least my knowledge and wisdom of Dragon rulers i work with if you are interested if not that is okay as well.
Please message me back with information about items moving on my alter for Ares. I just added a couple new features and I literally turned around to clean up maybe 3 minutes and the crystals I have on there are now touching. Is this good?
How to make a sigil for ares
Does he work well with Athena during spell works?
There are certain deities that don't work well with him, but since they are both dealing with battle they tend to respect one another while working together! Other deities though do not work well with him, such as Hephestus for.... Many reasons lol.
@@TheLunarWitch That would make sense otherwise saying other gods work well with him will be equivalent of saying the Egyptian gods Set and Apep goes along well with Horus and Ra. XD.
No, as she has spilled his blood in the mythos to make him bow and change sides during the Trojan war.
Im in a very right wing town so I feel a bit alone Im tryi g to work out and stuff to get stronger just in case. I feel like Ares might really help i havent quite decided on him yet but maybe he intruiges me.
I've been reached out by Ares for a long time but I didn't knew it was Ares the Greek god of war😭.
I was like "why this war loving fvcker keep appearing in my mind's eye?". I did keep seeing a guy who was always aggressive and fierce leading batallion of armies at his front, wears an armor and has a really charismatic energy.
I've always seen this guy almost everyday until now in my 3rd eye.
I've heard him scream at me many times with a mad face. I wasn't intimated but it gives me the chills and goosebumps every time.
Or when I'm being resilient, disciplined, brave and strong ,
I can feel an extremely strong connection with this entity.
Over time, just today 2023 when I got into Hellenistic Paganism I knew he was Ares as his Greek personality. I was like "Wow friend, you're worshipped . You're famous..."
God, I love him so much he's been with me since the beginning even he pesters me in appropriate times
Maybe I'm lucky enough not needing a ritual to summon him,
but I think it's time to properly thank him and build a better connection.
He's not a scary deity. I promise,
he's the best when it comes to protection, bravery and being your most fearless authentic self. He's a great and fierce companion, teacher and guide.
Thank you so much Lunar Witch!!!
I really enjoy your videos. They are of great help.
Whats the eseyest alter
Wolves? The woodpecker?
im getting into deity worship and i feel drawn to ares, nemesis, and hecate. i was wondering if anyone here knew anything about nemesis and what she is like working with?
Do you know of any entity that can help a boxer? ?
Yep ares bruh
How do l find my patron deity?
❤️❤️
