Ares is the Greek god of war. While no sane person relishes war, most cultures developed a war deity, out of defensive necessity if not aggressive empire-building. In addition to Ares' military prowess he is a lover, and his relationship with Aphrodite has been called by one of my Hellenist customers to be one of the most authentic, organic expressions of love.

It felt right that there should be a man-made ingredients in a formula dedicated to the God of War, so there is the synthetic (and very aggressively sexy!)Red Musk in it along with the blend for the planetary Mars oil. And yes, I did have Kevin Smith in mind during the formulation ;-)

Natural Magick deity oils are made with reverence and research to be pleasing devotional blends for the gods and goddesses they are named for. I research legend and lore, and try to use oils of plants that grew in the lands where the deity originated or rules. The Natural Magick process of using planetary and elemental influences, correspondence, and high quality ingredients is especially appropriate for honoring the gods and bringing their qualities into our lives.

Anoint yourself to attune to these deities, or pour into offering bowls or aromatherapy lamps, or anoint statues or fetish objects. I love to give them to priests or priestesses who run open circles or invoke our patron gods and goddesses.

These oils are in beautiful round 1/2 ounce bottles, blended in 100% fractionated coconut oil, so with any care they should last a very long time. They are priced according to the ingredients requested by the gods.
