The prime motivator

The astrological sign of Aries and the Planetary symbol of Mars are near one in the same. They relate strongly with the Norse rune Fehu "F" as they all represent what is known as the "Prime motivator". This forces are also called the "I want/need" an endless fire source of combustion and movement that causes hunger of the body, mind and spirit. This "drive" in the motivation to hunt, to stalk, to chase down and ultimately TAKE what you want/need. Any interesting parallel is that Aries/Mars and Fehu represent the FIRST symbols in their respect sets. This is not by accident. These are the sparks that start the fuse of the great evolutionary bomb. In fact these are indeed the first emotions and stirs you ever experienced. As an infant you are rooted in want/need... and the drive to get your needs full filled... you know nothing else. These same drives started with the infancy of our human race and all that we are rides on a rocket ship propelled forward by these fiery boosters. Fire drives, Fire eats, Fire destroys, Fire transforms, Fire renews and Fire stimulates.
My mentor and I have discussed harnessing these drives early in the morning as the Zodiac is both a cosmic, yearly and even hourly clock. Aries starts a 6am. The heavier and harder your exercise the more testosterone is released and the greater your body will digest and make intake of the food you eat. Your needs and wants will be tended too first thing and drive you forward the rest of the day.
Take and want are valid, selfishness is about NOT giving back for what you took.

Reforging and Repairing the chain.

Image
I have been through some life-altering adjustments in the last couple of weeks. Lord Mars laid waste to my old life. With a mighty stroke of his spear, he sent me to crawl off and assess my wounds. In hindsight, I intuitively knew it was coming. I knew I required more room to grow than my current situation could afford me. My progress had become stifled. Sons of Mars must always march on. There is only ever forward for us. Without progress, we enter stagnation, and that is death.  A single painful act of compassion, and I was freed. Freedom has a sweetness the weak will never know. The power of Mars has done its work. I am faced again with the lesson of how to carefully select the pieces worth picking up and soldier on. There is nothing left to do but repair.  There is no difference between the physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional bodies. None. Damage to one is damage to all. Healing for one is healing for all. Survival is no longer good enough. My mission is to thrive....

The lesson of the Woodpecker and 3/28/11 training

Is it hard to believe that the Woodpecker is sacred to the Roman God Mars? What about this bird would be so holy to Father Mars? Mars is a grand deity of strength, aggression, and war. Mars is about fucking and fighting: however, long before Mars was the bronze, iron and steel, he was a fierce God of the wild and the virility of life. Mars is seen in the will to fight and survive in seedling struggling to break free from the frozen ground to bask and drink deeply the golden ale of the Sun’s rays. Yes, Mars is the sweeping and caustic change that war brings, the destruction by heavy weapons and the trampling force of a legion of marching boots. But, and maybe even moreso, Mar is the persistent force, the constant “pecking” away, the continual wear and tear, the slow break down that goes unnoticed over long durations of time. We see the lighting of Mars strike down the strong Oak and we marvel at the force behind that wicked line of energy; however, the tree did not fall to one mighty st...

Monstrous Strength: The Kraken, An advanced arm, grip & back-centric strength training program in preparation for upper body violence! By Kevin Wikse

Image
Today (5/21/2024), I stumbled upon a wondrous pearl from the depths of my early writing (2010)—a sunken treasure swallowed by the vast ocean of Google Documents. "Monstrous Strength" is a 10-volume series of body-targeted and function-specific strength training programs inspired by fearsome monsters of myth and legend. Written during a time when I was actively pursuing an MMA career and training to be a Circus Strongman, I believed these volumes were forever lost. However, it seems the Fates have conspired to unleash these mythic beasts upon the world once more. Here is an excerpt from my soon-to-be-released Kraken program: --- The original date of writing is 7/9/2010. **Kraken Strength Training Program** Few creatures stir the unconscious mind like the Kraken. This massive, mysterious beast rises from unfathomable depths, feeding on whatever it finds, leaving destruction in its wake. Alien in nature, the Kraken emerges from our darkest dreams only to return to those unexplo...
