The Collegium Arae Marti is a modern organization dedicated to the worship and veneration of Mars, the Roman god of war, protection, and strength. Rooted in the traditions of ancient Roman religion, the Collegium seeks to preserve and adapt the timeless values Mars represents—courage, discipline, resilience, and leadership—for the contemporary world.
As a spiritual community, the Collegium Arae Marti provides a space for practitioners to engage in rituals, festivals, and educational activities honoring Mars. Members observe key events such as the Quinquatria and Equirria, adapting these historic celebrations to modern contexts while retaining their symbolic connection to Mars’ role as a protector and guide. Rituals often focus on invoking his strength, seeking his guidance in overcoming challenges, and fostering a sense of personal and communal responsibility.
The Collegium Arae Marti also explores Mars’ lesser-known aspects, such as his ties to agriculture and the fertility of the land, emphasizing the balance between effort and reward, action and preservation. Through these practices, members aim to integrate Mars’ influence into all areas of life, promoting both individual growth and collective well-being.
At its core, the Collegium Arae Marti is a community for those inspired by Mars’ ideals. It offers an inclusive and structured approach to reviving the worship of this powerful deity, helping practitioners embrace his legacy of strength, protection, and purpose in today’s world.
