How strange, in comparation with other Gods rituals this one felt more, how to describe, personal or powerful so interesting.
Btw I am curious, from what everyone says Azazel is a more strict God but Andras is the God of war, the literal God of gigachads, does that mean he is even more strict than Azazel given the fact that you wouldn't expect someone being the avatar of war while having the personality of a guy born through a field of flowers.
Well, Azazel was once described as Hell's jailor. You wouldn't expect for example a prison warden to be creative on the level of Michaelangelo. But Azazel is noted for giving humanity the gifts of not only the knowledge of weaponry and self defense, but also cosmetics & beautification.
It's a symptom of being on a low level of consciousness for people to believe that being a great warrior and masculine figure is completely antithetical to being kind, polite, educated and having a sense of aestheticism. Being a man or a warrior doesn't mean that you have to be a grunting caveman bashing skulls with rocks and picking fleas out of your natty, unwashed hair.
In truth, war is an artform. The greatest commanders treat it as such and know that you cannot have lasting success by just painting by the numbers. If you look at ancient Roman battles, who essentially treated Mars as their patron god, the way they move and adapt to the battlefield is like a symphony. They bring a certain order to chaos, and they were famous for their discipline.
Many great leaders were intelligent and appreciative of the arts, like George Patton for example, the very image of a man's man, who despite being dyslexic enjoyed classic literature and military history. Or Ulysses S. Grant, who also loved literature and despite underperforming at physical tests and disliking military lifestyle, became one of the greatest strategists and leaders in American history.
In myth, Ares was portrayed as a passionate warrior, who lived for the act of war and combat, and enjoyed fighting for its own sake. His sister, Athena, was his diplomatic counterpart, who waged war only as a matter of practical necessity.
He had a bloodlust, an extreme fighting fervor and his fury was unstoppable and could not be pacified by anything but the love of Aphrodite.
This is symbolic of the fact that men need to integrate with the feminine so as to not to live like savages driven by base instincts, and sublimate those drives for higher purposes.
