“Unless we have relation to the principle, we will fall victim to its negative manifestation. If we are not willing to fight when required, if we cannot summon up aggressive energy when it is appropriate, we will succumb to it in some other way.”
– Edward Edinger
This video lecture explores the Mars Archetype from an astrological and mythic perspective, focusing on how you can engage with this archetypal force in a more creatively affirming and conscious way in your life.
Through its developing myths, from the ancient Sumerian god of the Death and War to the ambivalent relationship with Ares in Ancient Greece, and the rebrand and upgrade of the Roman Mars, all the way to how Mars shows up in our present culture. The focus of this video is to help you reconnect with your own Inner Mars to help you see anger, frustration, and even violence from a more creatively affirming perspective.
