Mars
MARS, represented both in celestial and magical traditions, is a complex entity symbolizing war, liberation, and significant shifts. According to various sources, Mars is associated with pain, struggle, passion, and the energy of generation. On a talisman used during rituals, a sword serves as the primary symbol, although it is depicted in different ways. In one depiction, a dragon is shown biting the hilt of the sword, while another representation uses a simple sword. Mars is also recognized as the planet of war, liberation, and transformative events, with a notable historical reference to the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt and their passage through the Red Sea. This celestial body is associated with the exaltation in Capricorn and is known as the War-lord, underscoring its significant role in generating energy and reproduction through both conflict and creation. In magical practices, Mars is often linked to the forging of a magical sword, emphasizing its role in both physical and metaphysical dimensions of conflict and transformation.
