Exalted Mars Oil

The Mars in Capricorn Oil was built in a forest that surrounded several sports fields, a place of martial influence, while Mars was in his degree of exaltation. The oil holds at its core a six-sided lodestone that was marked on each side with both known and personal seals and glyphs of Mars, fumigated in Frankincense and Mastic. Alongside this lodestone, the oil contains Goat skin with appropriate images inscribed in prepared red ink, legally obtained corvid feather, bone, and feet, Rattlesnake bone and skin, Gaboon Viper rib bone, Blackthorn, Coffee, soldier-like ants, Pine resin collected during the working, Diamond, Madder, Iron from three blacksmith forges, Iron dug from the earth from a civil-war era forge used to create cannonballs and other weaponry, Slag dug from the earth at this very same forge, Obsidian, Sulphur, and many other bones, stones, plants, and minerals. This served as the base for each oil and bundle created, with further materia added that was appropriate to each oil or bundle.

Through this oil, Mars imparts the drive of dedication, offering us the strength and determination to perform a task or reach a goal through any means necessary with great precision. This comes as an aid to all, whether you need to dedicate yourself to accomplishing a *thing*, to become rigorous in learning how to do something better, or to learn something new entirely. It is through dedication and constant training of a skill that we become better at the skill. This can be applied to just about anything that one needs to get better at. Mars in Capricorn is a building of power and the proper harnessing of that movement to effectively affect a given change. 

Mars in Aries is fire-embodied, it is outwardly hot and consuming. In Scorpio, the fire of Mars is directed inward in conquest of challenge. Mars in Capricorn encourages a calm and focused boldness, pushing the limits of your boundaries in expression and action in a balancing of this push and pull. Working this oil, you will move differently through the world. With Mars’ red-stained hands as a guide, your actions will seem more precise, planned, and wholly more effective. In this building of boldness, in the sparking of courage to act, you will seem stronger, and even fearsome.  Being a person who can dedicate themselves fully to accomplishing any task, and especially to do it successfully, can be a scary thing for others around you. You will be seen as all-capable, dedicated, strong, and dangerous to those who would go against you.  In essence, people will be less inclined to fuck with you.
