Is conjuring spirits dangerous. How can one safely practice spirit magic. What are the benefits of working with supernatural entities. Can magic lead to personal growth and wisdom. How to protect yourself when conjuring spirits.
The Fear Factor: Common Concerns About Spirit Conjuration
Many aspiring magicians approach the realm of spirit conjuration with trepidation. Their minds are filled with questions and concerns about the potential dangers lurking in the shadows of the occult. Let’s address some of these common fears:
- Fear of possession
- Worry about harm to oneself or family members
- Uncertainty about the truthfulness of spirits
- Concern about unwanted spiritual presences lingering
- Apprehension about post-mortem consequences
These fears stem from the inherent unknown nature of magic and its consequences. Unlike a computer program with predictable outcomes, magic operates in the realm of hidden wisdom, making it challenging to anticipate all possible results.
Should these fears prevent you from exploring the magical arts? Absolutely not. Confronting and overcoming these fears is an essential part of becoming a skilled magician. It’s through facing the unknown that true growth and mastery are achieved.
The Transformative Power of Magical Practice
Engaging in magical practices can catalyze profound changes across various aspects of life:
Personal Growth
How does magic foster personal development? By pushing practitioners beyond their comfort zones, magic creates opportunities for emotional, spiritual, and personal growth. This stretching of one’s limits, while sometimes uncomfortable, is a crucial ingredient in the recipe for self-improvement.
Financial Transformation
Can magic impact one’s financial situation? Indeed, it can. For instance, invoking the planetary angels of the Sun for assistance with a side project might lead to unexpected circumstances that propel you to fully commit to your entrepreneurial endeavors.
Emotional and Spiritual Evolution
Working with spirits from grimoires like the Lemegeton’s Goetia can initiate a journey of inner peace and conflict resolution. This process often begins within oneself, gradually extending to relationships with others and even to strangers.
The Invaluable Currency of Magical Experience
Why is practical experience so crucial in magic? Without hands-on practice, many aspects of magic remain theoretical and poorly understood. Only through direct engagement can one truly grasp concepts like:
- The nuances of planetary hours and their impact on rituals
- The growing bond between a magician and frequently invoked spirits
- The subtle cues and preferences of different spiritual entities
- The hidden humor and references in magical texts and traditions
Experience brings these elements to life, transforming abstract knowledge into practical wisdom.
The Fruits of Magical Labor: Power and Wisdom
What rewards await those who persevere in their magical practice? As one delves deeper into the magical arts, several benefits become apparent:
Increased Influence
Magic can grant practitioners greater control over themselves, others, and the fabric of their daily lives. This influence may vary in intensity but often extends beyond the immediately visible realm.
Enhanced Perception
Experienced magicians often develop a heightened awareness of events and energies, even at a distance. This expanded perception can provide valuable insights into the workings of manifestation and the ebb and flow of magical forces.
Deeper Understanding
With time and practice, the magician gains a more profound comprehension of magical texts, traditions, and even the humor embedded within them. This deeper understanding marks the gradual transformation into a true Magus.
Addressing the “What Ifs”: Safety Measures in Spirit Conjuration
While the fears surrounding spirit conjuration are understandable, they need not be paralyzing. Here are some practical considerations and precautions:
The Nature of Magical Effects
Are the effects of magic permanent? In most cases, magical effects are temporary. However, for those rare instances where effects linger, magical traditions provide numerous methods for undoing or reversing unwanted outcomes.
The Magician’s Safety Net
What resources are available to correct magical missteps? The magical world offers a plethora of tools for addressing unintended consequences:
- Banishing rituals
- Cleansing rites
- Appropriate offerings
- Invocations of protective spirits
These resources underscore a fundamental principle in magic: Any problem created through magical means can be resolved through magical means.
Essential Precautions for Safe Spirit Work
How can one practice spirit conjuration safely? Here are some key precautions to consider:
Protective Clauses
In every conjuration, include specific language that prohibits harm to yourself, your loved ones, or anyone else. Many traditional conjuration scripts already incorporate such protective elements.
Gradual Approach
When performing a ritual for the first time, take extra precautions. Start with simpler, less intense practices and gradually work your way up to more complex operations.
Spiritual Allies
Consider acquiring a familiar spirit, connecting with your Holy Guardian Angel (HGA), or working with a Supernatural Assistant. These spiritual allies can provide guidance, protection, and support in your magical endeavors.
The Journey of the Magician: Embracing Growth and Discovery
The path of the magician is one of continuous growth, learning, and self-discovery. While it may be fraught with challenges and moments of uncertainty, it offers unparalleled opportunities for personal and spiritual development.
Overcoming Fear
Fear of the unknown is a natural part of the magical journey. However, it’s through facing these fears that true magical prowess is developed. Each successful ritual, each overcome obstacle, contributes to the magician’s growing confidence and skill.
Embracing the Process
The transformation from novice to adept is not instantaneous. It requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to learn from both successes and setbacks. Embracing this process, with all its ups and downs, is key to becoming a well-rounded and effective magician.
The Rewards of Perseverance
As the magician progresses on their path, they may find that the initial fears and doubts give way to a deep sense of empowerment and connection to the magical realms. The ability to navigate the unseen worlds, to communicate with spiritual entities, and to effect change through magical means becomes not just a skill, but a fundamental part of one’s identity.
Ethical Considerations in Spirit Work
As with any powerful tool or practice, magic comes with ethical responsibilities. How can magicians ensure their practice remains ethically sound?
Intention and Consequence
Before engaging in any magical operation, carefully consider the potential consequences of your actions. Strive to align your magical work with positive intentions and outcomes that benefit not just yourself, but the greater good.
Respect for Spiritual Entities
When working with spirits, approach them with respect and integrity. Honor any agreements made and be mindful of the reciprocal nature of magical relationships.
Balancing Power and Wisdom
As magical abilities grow, so too should the magician’s wisdom and discernment. The responsible use of magical power requires a balanced approach, tempering ambition with humility and caution.
Integrating Magic into Daily Life
How can the practice of magic be integrated into one’s everyday existence? As the magician progresses, they may find that the boundaries between the magical and mundane begin to blur.
Everyday Enchantment
Simple magical practices can be incorporated into daily routines. This might include blessing your morning coffee, charging your workspace with positive energy, or performing quick protection rituals before leaving home.
Magical Mindfulness
Developing a magical perspective can enhance one’s awareness of the subtle energies and synchronicities that permeate everyday life. This heightened perception can lead to a richer, more meaningful existence.
Practical Applications
Magic need not be reserved for grand rituals or life-changing events. It can be applied to various aspects of daily life, from enhancing creativity and problem-solving skills to improving interpersonal relationships and career prospects.
The Evolving Landscape of Modern Magic
How has the practice of magic adapted to the modern world? While rooted in ancient traditions, contemporary magic continues to evolve and adapt to the changing times.
Technological Integration
Many modern magicians incorporate technology into their practice. This might include using apps for tracking planetary hours, creating digital grimoires, or even experimenting with technomancy and digital sigils.
Cross-Cultural Exchange
The internet age has facilitated unprecedented access to magical traditions from around the world. This cross-pollination of ideas and practices has led to new, syncretic forms of magic that blend various cultural influences.
Scientific Approaches
Some contemporary magicians are exploring ways to bridge the gap between magical practice and scientific understanding. This includes investigating the psychological and neurological effects of ritual, as well as exploring potential connections between magical concepts and cutting-edge physics.
In conclusion, the practice of spirit conjuration and magic offers a transformative journey of personal growth, empowerment, and discovery. While it’s natural to approach such practices with caution, the rewards of perseverance and dedication can be truly life-changing. By taking appropriate precautions, maintaining ethical integrity, and embracing the learning process, aspiring magicians can safely navigate the realms of spirit work and unlock their full magical potential.
Head For the Red
When would-be magicians come to me and ask questions, a good percentage of them are about whether or not they should begin conjuring spirits, because it might be dangerous.
- Will I get possessed?
- Will I or members of my family get hurt?
- Is it dangerous?
- What if they’re lying?
- What if they won’t leave and turn your house into Poltergeist?
- If you really work with demons of the Lemegeton’s Goetia, do you become one of their Legion members when you die?
The last one is for real, by the way. Dude had heard it from the guy who was teaching him conjure magic. Heh. I mean, even if that does happen, it wouldn’t be all that bad. But I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works.
All these are aspects of fear in the magician of the consequences of their actions. They’re afraid that it might not work, or worse, that it might work, and they have limited information on magic and its consequences because it’s magic, occult, hidden wisdom.
It’s not like a computer program that you can break down into logical lines of if-then-else statements with all the possible results documented and a start and a stop where it isn’t still doing stuff when you’re done.
So yea, it’s a valid fear. The unknown. But should that stop you?
Fuck no.
Doing things you’re afraid of with magic is how you learn to become a good magician, not just some well-studied book-quoting intelligent Magus Psittacus.
Growth
Doing magic can create personal, financial, emotional, and spiritual growth. We grow the most when we are stretched beyond our comfort levels. Magic does that, in a healthy way most of the time, although you might not think it’s all that great at the time. Ask the Heptameron’s planetary angels of the Sun to help your side project replace your full time job, and bam, your contract is terminated for budgetary reasons, and you have all day to develop your side business, and the motivational financial understanding that you’d damned well better.
And it works.
You can work with spirits that bring peace between people from the Lemegeton’s Goetia, and find yourself becoming a peace-maker yourself, first within yourself, and then with you and others, and then with people you know and haven’t met yet. The journey can be uncomfortable as you grow, but the things that alter in your life are extraordinary.
Experience
You’ll never know anything well in magic when you’re inexperienced. You won’t understand things like planetary hours, and what happens when you miss it and do it anyway. Or if it even matters for this type of ritual. You won’t understand the power that grows between you and the spirits that you work with the most, or what types of unlisted offerings this spirit or that will enjoy by the way they smell when they walk in the temple.
You’ll miss all the in-jokes blatant references that make no sense without having stood in or before a circle and spoke to the forces of Nature and the Heavens above.
Our predecessors had a sound sense of humor and nuance in their descriptions of paraphernalia, vestments and of course, the spirits themselves.
Power, Wisdom, all that Jazz
As you do magic, you gain influence over yourself and others and the things that make up the warp and weft of your daily experienced lives. Sometimes a great deal of influence, other times not so much. You’ll know what happens when you aren’t looking, even if it’s miles away. You’ll understand how things are called into being, manifest, and fade according to their designed intent. You’ll know where people are coming from, literally and figuratively. You’ll gradually start to think Trithemius’ puns aren’t that bad. All the things Magic is supposed to do, all the reasons you want to do a thing you’re afraid to do, they all happen, in degrees and stages, as you go through the metamorphosis into the Magus you were born to be.
But Seriously, What if …?
But those fears, of getting possessed, haunted, causing unintended side effects, and all that though, what about them.
Could any of those things happen?
Well, I mean I guess they could, and probably will, but it’s not that bad being possessed, and hauntings are cool, and sometimes some family members are askin’ for it anyway. Most magic is temporary, but if it’s not, all magical systems come with ways out. There are more banishing rituals, cleansing rites, offerings to make, spirits to call on for aid, and ways to undo what you did than you can think. Learn one of them.
And this works because of a basic axiom:
THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN FUCK UP WITH MAGIC THAT YOU CANNOT FIX WITH MAGIC.
But take some basic simple steps. At a minimum, specify in every conjuration that no harm befalls anyone, or yourself and your loved ones. It’s in the script of most of the conjurations, I think. Take the obvious precautions when you’re doing the ritual the first time.
Long term, get you a familiar or HGA or Supernatural Assistant using one of the many rites in the PGM, Dehn’s Book of Abramelin, Crowley’s Samekh, Agrippa’s Good Genius, and at the start of the rite have them provide the spiritual food to the spirits in attendance, and send them as an emissary to make clear the way between you and the spirit.
Have a Banishing Ritual present just in case.
Afterwards, watch for things to happen in relation to your request or the spirit’s description.
Thank it with something appropriate. Make a new friend, or thank it and just send it on its way.
Take notes.
And realize that honestly, it was silly to be afraid the whole time.
Head For the Red: Spirit Pots
Ok, I’m having a total shit day here at work. I’m totally feeling Martial and want to kick some ass, but it’s just not an option. I haven’t had time to answer emails or blog or anything lately. Kingdom management is a pain in the ass. I need a break.
So fuck that presentation for a bit. I’m blogging.
Today, Dhr. Balthazar wrote a post about working with the dead, and he mentioned the following:
my warning was mainly directed to those wishing to create spirit pots, spirit dolls, bundles and so forth for the dead. This is a somewhat more nuanced form of muerto work, during which things can in fact go wrong.
Trickster spirits love containers. I mean they LOVE, containers.
Trickster spirits love containers. I mean they LOVE, containers. That got me thinking about my experience with Spirit Pots, and how the techniques I learned help mitigate that kind of thing, so you get a post about how to work with Spirit Pots safely and effectively, because I can bang it out quick and I need to think about something relaxing, peaceful, and centering, and nothing’s better for that than some good old applied hermetics.
Spirit Pot Overview
A spirit pot is basically a high-end talisman. It is a physical object you’ve dedicated to a spirit that becomes its physical manifestation point in your world. It is a portal through which the spirit sends the forces it uses to influence your world. It is a communication point that you use to send your requests and offerings into its realm, wherever that may be.
By giving a spirit a physical manifestation point in your life, you’re granting it your authority to change your manifest reality.
You’re giving it more power too, because now it has a foothold in your world. It’s a really potent way to bring a spirit’s influence into your life, and it guarantees that you will experience the forces the spirit represents first hand.
The spirit pot also functions as a mini-altar. You can put whatever items into the pot that relate to the spirit. This seems to give the spirit more power to affect your life, more influence over events that transpire. Anything you put into the pot will affect the way the spirit manifests in your life. Things in harmony with its essence help it function better in your world. Soil from areas you want it to influence extend its power to those areas.
The spirit pot is, in many ways, the body of the spirit you’re working with. You feed it, clean it, and take care of it the way you take care of your own body. You can put it wherever you want it to have more influence, or you can put it on your altar to grant it influence over all things that manifest in your life.
The Spirit Pot Itself
Spirit pots can be made out of any container. I like brass vessels because they have a mercurial nature by virtue of being a blended metal, and Mercury/Hermes plays a big role in my Hermetic pursuits (as you can imagine). They can be glass boxes, craft boxes, cigar boxes, clay pots, tea kettles, decorative metal bowls, silver, or organic woven baskets, or even old oil lamps like Ali Baba found. They can be any kind of vessel or container.
The closer you can get the container materials to the essence of the spirit, the better. Iron pots for Martial spirits would be acceptable, but they’re no good for ancestor spirits, or most terrestrial genius loci spirits.
The form should be suited to the purpose too. Old brass lamps make sense because they are designed to turn fuel into emanated light. They project what’s contained within in a useful way into the world outside the lamp. Very excellent metaphor.
Boxes are used for storage, so if you’ve got a box you’re using, make sure you leave the lid open when you want the spirit active.
Round bowls or pots can be used, but circles can confuse and trap a spirit.
And that brings up another interesting point, geometric shapes have spiritual properties. Circles and squares mean something to spirits. Agrippa has a chapter on it, but I don’t have time to look it up at the moment. It’s important to consider though. Square boxes make sense to me because there are four elements, and if I make a spirit pot, it’s to get the spirit access to my material realm. Circles also make sense because they provide a continuous contact point with the rest of the world, projecting in all directions at once. You can get hexagonal and octagonal decorative vessels that might have some numerological correspondence to the spirits of the system you’re working as well.
As you can see, the type of vessel you pick is going to depend a lot on the spirit you’re working with, so before you even begin picking out the type of pot, it’s a really good idea to to get to know the spirit you’re making a pot for.
The Spirit
You should have an established relationship already, and have worked with it more than a couple of times before you start moving towards a dedicated talismanic object that you’re going to give that kind of footprint in your life.*
When you’ve worked with a spirit a few times, you pick up its preferences and its resonance. You’ll know what types of things to include, and if you’re not sure, you can ask them directly. Be warned though, there’s not much that you’ll offer a spirit for their pot that they’ll turn down. They can use anything, as long as it isn’t totally opposed to their nature, and they can even use some of that too.
Also, when you get to know a spirit first, you’ll be drastically reducing the chances of getting a trickster spirit. You’ll know right away if the spirit that takes up residence in the pot isn’t the same one you’ve worked with before. There are other mitigating techniques to include, but this is the best defense against getting the wrong spirit I’ve found.
Listen to the spirit when you’re picking out the vessel and the things to include. I go to the goodwill, flea markets, garage sales, and this one antique shop where this guy buys stuff from estate sales to pick out my spirit pot, and I take a second to picture the spirit’s seal, call it by name, and ask its opinion on the pot I’m picking out for it. It only takes a second, and again, you’ll have an established relationship with the spirit that grants you this kind of access to it before you start picking out pots. Can’t stress that enough.
What Goes in the Pot
When you’re gathering the stuff that goes inside, get the spirit’s opinion as you pick the stuff out. I like to shop at the local occult supply shoppe, and they have a wide assortment of crystals. When I pick out Jupiter stuff, I have a wide selection of blue stones available, for example, and I’ll ask the spirit I’m working with which one they prefer. The Lapis Lazuli I used in the Jupiter talismans was Lapis and not Azurite because that’s what they preferred at the time.
Go shopping or gathering with your spirit, and make the spirit pot a cooperative venture from the very beginning.
I like to put together a wide variety of things for my spirit pots. I believe it needs soil from whatever grounds you want it to cover. Money pots should have dirt or stones from your local branch of your bank. Domination pots should have dirt from wherever you want to dominate, like your office, or the local Moose lodge or whatever. You can add dirt to the pot at any time after you make it, so don’t stress too much about getting something for any situation that might arise later before you begin. At the very least, you should add some soil from your own home if you want it to affect your daily life.
I like to include a stone that is holy to the entity in some way as well. Lapis, axurite, rose quartz, amethyst, whatever stones are appropriate to the spirit. I always toss in a herkimer diamond because I think they’re just funky. I’ve used orgone generators too, but these days not so much.
I think some form of clear quartz is essential, because they are like crystallized light.
I also include incense that’s appropriate, usually in resin form. Powders work well too, and you can crumble up a stick incense if you like. Scent is important to spirits. It’s invisible, but you can sense it, and that’s a very spiritual quality. There are whole tables of perfumes and aromas that are pleasing to spirits in the grimoires for good reason.
Plants are also important to include. Flowers of the appropriate color, sweet smelling grasses, fragrant saps, and tobacco are always good. Herbs, leaves, vines, and seeds are all good to include. Dried fruit is seldom turned down, but you’ve got to remember to change it out once in a while.
As you go along with your pot, you’ll be adding and removing things to suit your current needs. When I needed Bune to work more actively, I put cayenne pepper in the pot to heat things up. For dream communications with the spirit, you can put in a small vial of lunar-consecrated water in it.
This can be used to send specific visions to others as well, if you’re into that kind of thing. Just remember, whatever you do to others, they’ll do to you sooner or later.
Animal products are also things you can put in a pot. Alligator claws, eagle talons, bear teeth, small skulls, or whatever else you think is appropriate that fits in the pot can be used. Just remember, it’s like giving your spirit a familiar of its own to work with and through. Toss in a bear tooth, and don’t be surprised if your spirit starts sending you the spirit of the bear as a messenger, or manifesting through bear imagery in your daily life or dreams. Do you want your spirit to have a rattlesnake familiar? Think about that shit before you toss that neat rattle you got in Arizona as a kid in the pot.
Consecrating the Pot and its Ingredients
Ok, so you’ve gathered the stuff and you’re ready to put it all together. This is a big deal, and should not be treated lightly. Consider it the moment of conception, when you create a physical body for the spirit to inhabit.
You’re putting the guts together inside the skin and breathing life into it, sort of. It’s very golemish, in a way, and you shouldn’t be surprised if your spirit pot grows legs and travels around. I never saw my Bune pot move, but it was often in places I didn’t recall putting it, and when I was ready to decommission it, it was stolen.
The first thing you’ll want to do is pick a good time for it. You’ll need a half hour or so set aside with no interruptions. I work mostly with planetary spirits, so I use planetary hours and days to pick my timing. For your pot, pick an auspicious time that resonates with the entity you’re calling.
Begin by consecrating the vessel to the spirit. What right do you have to consecrate the pot? Is it because you’re a human being made in the image of God and you are accepting your role as co-creator and therefore the pot will be consecrated because you say so? That’s how I do it, so I start with a prayer to the First Father, thanking him for the opportunity to create the world and the authority to do so.
Then I conjure my HGA, and get him to help in the process, asking him to make sure the right spirit appears, and that the vessel is prepared according to its requirements. Then I conjure the spirit who is actually going into the pot, and make sure they’re present for the duration of the rite.
Then I cleanse the pot.
When you do the conjuration of the spirits using the Modern Angelic
Grimoire, there’s a part where you command the crystal to only allow the
spirits you’re calling in. You do something similar when you consecrate the pot. Talk to the pot itself, address the spirit
of the object, and tell it that it has been consecrated to the spirit,
tell it not to let any other spirit in, and seal it to the spirit
itself. I do this by basically sprinkling it with Holy Water while saying, “In the name of the father + Son + and Holy Spirit + I cleanse you and consecrate you to be the physical embodiment of [Spirit Name]. Let no other spirit enter, and serve the spirit well as its embodiment within my world.
”
Next you mark up the vessel. I engrave the seal of the spirit and any related god-names on the outside of the pot using dremel tools for metal pots, or I use a paint pen. I like silver paint pens, and the spirits don’t complain. I know one guy who got decent results with a sharpie. Your mileage may vary.
You know, honestly, the best thing you can do for spirit work is to get all the right ingredients and time it all correctly, and make sure it’s all correct by whatever system you’re using, but if you can’t hit the center of the target, I’ve repeatedly found the spirits don’t give a shit. As long as you’re close, or in harmony, they are usually pretty ok with whatever you’ve got. that doesn’t mean you don’t try hard to make it as accurate as possible, and it doesn’t mean you’ll get the same quality of results if you cheat, but it’s better to have a paper origami box you made by hand written on with ball point pens than nothing at all.**
Next you consecrate the items.
I anoint them with holy water (and usually abramelin oil too) and tell them they’re consecrated for the purposes of creating a harmonious vessel for the spirit.
Then you assemble the pot. Put all the stuff in the pot, and formally request that the spirit you’ve conjured enters into its vessel. Make a show of it, don’t be afraid to breathe life into the pot. It’s called exsufflation, breathing a spirit into a pot. “As I breathe into this pot, enter now this vessel and take up residence, and through it gain authority within my realm” blah blah blah. You know, make some shit up that sounds nice and embodies the intent.
Working with the Spirit Pot
Ok, so you’ve got the pot, it’s got a spirit in it, and it’s time to tap that spirit’s influence to get something you want. Go to the pot and conjure up the spirit and tell it what you want. Ask it if it needs anything added to the pot to help it out. Sometimes it will tell you how many candles to light nearby so the light falls on the pot, other times it will tell you what foods to leave on a plate near the pot.
Whenever you need its help, talk to it. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s there all the time and ready to hear you. Talk to it out loud, because you’ve given it a body. Thinking at it doesn’t change anything any more than thinking at a person in the room changes them. The more you learn to treat it as if it were the spirit, the more you’ll be able to do with it.
And don’t worry about those people who will think you’re crazy for talking to inanimate objects. I mean, you already qualify as insane in their eyes because you really believe you’re a magician with the power and destiny to change the world as you see fit. Fuck them and their sanity.
Ok, back to work. Have fun all!
* Remember, creating a spirit pot is granting a spiritual entity a physical form with the expectation that it will have more influence over your material realm. Think carefully about who you want to have access to your life, and don’t be surprised when they start using the influence you’ve granted them.
** Except when it’s not. Sometimes you fuck yourself royally taking short cuts or making substitutions in ignorance. Do your best, really, because it matters.

Why red Mars sometimes turns green
This material was written by a site visitor and rewarded.
Why did “red” Mars suddenly turn green?
In recent years, reports have begun to appear that, according to many observations, the red color of this planet, which is familiar to many, has begun to turn green more often.
In addition to the Western media, even such Muslim publications as the Qatari Al Jazeera began to write about this.

Naturally, this gave rise to a lot of different hypotheses, one after another attracting everyone’s attention.
Mars is perhaps the most popular planet in the solar system. The first mention of Mars appeared in 1534 BC. e., when this planet was discovered by ancient Egyptian astronomers.
If you look at Mars through a telescope, you can see that it is red-orange in color. Hence this planet was called “red”. This shade of the planet is due to the presence of iron oxide hydrates in the soil, which are quite numerous – about 15%, and it is they that color Mars in such a characteristic color.
But since the color red is associated with war, it is not surprising that the ancients called this planet Mars after the god of war – the patron of military power from the ancient Roman pantheon. It is noteworthy that the ancient Greeks also had a god of war – Ares, but he was considered frantic, merciless and furious, while the Romans of Mars were fair and courageous.
The echo of military horror also passed to the names of the two satellites of Mars, which received the names Deimos and Phobos, which is translated from ancient Greek as “horror” for the first and as “fear” for the second.
Mars is a dry, dusty, windy planet, but scientists say that wasn’t always the case. The planet once had huge rivers and lakes that dotted its surface. If life had roots there in the distant past, then it could even be green from the existence of life there.
The study and exploration of outer space, as is known, is carried out by the world community and our civilization not just for scientific purposes of understanding the unknown, but as a way to survival, the safety of people’s existence and the development of mankind on Earth and outside the Earth. The super-task and priority of this process, according to the ideas proclaimed by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, is the expansion of man from the Earth into space. Therefore, it is not surprising that one of the main directions of space research is the search for “super-Earths” – a class of planets most likely to have a stable climate, water reserves, and hence habitable zones, in which alien life can theoretically flourish and where, ultimately, can settle man.
In recent years, this aspect has become more and more relevant in space research due to the intensified climatic cataclysms and wars, the causes of which were the same man on the planet Earth. So it happens, as in a summer cottage: instead of creating environmentally friendly and healthy conditions for living in your space, with the construction, in particular, of sewage systems, the garden toilet is simply transferred to another place … Therefore, fate with such an approach for the planets of future human settlement is already today does not appear to be rainbow colored.
Nevertheless, the view of Mars as one of the possible places of human settlement in the near space has become more and more attractive. For this reason, special attention to it began to be riveted a few decades ago. In 1962, the USSR launched the first aircraft to Mars for the first time, the most successful attempt was the launch of the Soviet Mars-3 AMS in December 1971, when the descent vehicle softly landed on the planet, which was a great achievement at that time.
This was followed by a series of American programs on Mars and at 19In 75, the Viking program was launched, the devices of which were able to land on Mars.
Today, Elon Musk is already testing a rocket for crewed flights, including to Mars. In addition to him and the Martian programs of China, Russia, the intention to send into space, including to Mars, an automatic interplanetary station of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of the MBR Explorer research mission, was announced on June 1 by the Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The plans of African countries to create a Pan-African Space Agency with headquarters in Cairo, including for the study of Mars, were announced at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-23) by the Executive Director of the South African National Space Agency Mudau Khumbulani, who invited Russia in this context to cooperation.
Given the fact that a number of recent Martian research programs actively include Muslim states, there is sometimes an opinion that this could allegedly be one of the reasons for the “greening of Mars”.
Green, as you know, is the color of wildlife in Islam, the symbol and sacred color of this religion, as well as the color associated with the idea of paradise, which is even mentioned in the Koran (Koran, 76:20-21).
However, even Muslim publications give a scientific explanation why, according to space observations, the upper atmosphere of Mars turns green three times a night in spring and autumn, while the poles glow almost all the time during the year. And these data were confirmed, including during observations from the spacecraft of the European Space Agency Mars Express, which is also in orbit around Mars.
Researchers writing in the Journal of Geophysical Research indicate that Mars has turned green again, and not because lush vegetation has suddenly sprouted on it. It is actually the planet’s thin atmosphere that has taken on the green glow seen by orbiters such as Trace Gas.
Inhabitants of some corners of planet Earth sometimes have the opportunity to admire quite spectacular light shows in the night sky, the so-called “Northern Lights” (or “Southern Lights”, depending on where on the globe you are).
