The Sacred Bird of Mars by Kevin Wikse

 Woodpecker Mars Kevin Wikse


Update 08/05/2023

I revisited my original 03/28/2011 post HERE about the sacred bird of Mars and found that I still fully agree with my initial writing. I revised my work to reflect the passage of time and re-present it to you below. 


Revised 03/28/2011 Post

Would you believe the Woodpecker is sacred to Mars? What about this bird could be comparable to this mystery of God? Mars is a deity of aggression and war, fucking and fighting. However, long before Mars expertly wielded iron and steel, he was a fierce deity of the wildlands, vitality, and masculinity. 


Mars is seen in the will to fight and survive in a seedling struggling to break free from the frozen ground and drink deeply of the golden ale of the Sun's rays. Mars is the sweeping and caustic change that destruction brings by violence, be it direct like the act of war or indirectly, such as the growth and making room for industry. More than those, Mars is a persistent force, forever "pecking" away, the continual wear and tear, the measured breakdown which 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 stroke alone, no not one fell swoop, but a combination of the forces of destruction, one too weaken it and another to finally break it.


The Woodpecker lives by repeatedly driving its spear-like beak through the bark; it must overcome and puncture blockages and obstacles to get to its food. The insects underneath wear the tree's bark like an enemy wears armor. The Woodpecker is and must be persistent. Its work is hard and goes mostly unnoticed. One peck, one chip, one thrust at a time, again and again. A force of nature, slight rips and tears in the fabric of reality that add up over time.


To fell a great Oak, wear a mighty warrior down, pierce armor, or complete a grand task requires constant application of force and directed will. All things can be accomplished; taking the time and sustaining the effort is all that is necessary. 


In your training, you are like the Woodpecker. Any goal shall eventually be met. To that, there is no question. Why is there no question? Because If you keep pecking away at it, forcefully sustain your directed will, and apply it again, the great distance between you and your desires shortens daily. The barrier between you and your dreams is broken down a little every day, bit by bit, piece by piece. Like the Woodpecker at its task, working to get his meal, enjoying his rewards, and then one day, the entire forest echoes with the deafening and sudden crack of the Oak. Signaling the Woodpecker has done its damage; now it's time to start the process anew. 


Like the Woodpecker, only some will notice your work. Most will only see the brilliant flash of lighting when you achieve what, to them, seems impossible. Few will understand your accomplishment is built on a foundation of superhuman work capacity floating on an ocean of sweat and tears. The majority population can only see the clearly defined "big" picture. They have almost no perception of the "small." They can see the beach but cannot comprehend its comprised of trillions of grains of sand. 

They see the Oak laid out but not the millions of needle-like pricks that dissolved and eroded its integrity. 


Determination, persistence, sustained effort, and continual application of directed force and will are keys to success. These attributes are the Woodpecker's teachings and the true nature and mystery of God, which is  Mars.

My words still ring true and set the heart ablaze. A life re-purposed. I am made whole as another heals.

-Kevin Wikse 

I received a comment on it a few days ago for a blog entry I made in 2011 from a man who suffered a great setback. My words and experiences inspired him to crawl out of his depression, spend time under the iron, and build himself back up. I knew I needed the blow the dust off this piece and re-submit it to a larger audience. I hope it inspires many more people.

Original 2011 Post

The Revised 2011 Post

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 spear stroke, 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 shall never know. The power of Mars has done its work. I am faced again with the lesson of carefully selecting 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. To heal back, bigger, stronger, and faster. I am a tiger who broke free from the cage. Years of captivity took their toll. I am a tiger who never forgot what it was like to bleed, fight, fuck, and hunt. These are impulses stronger than any bindings. I would either come crash through those bars or die trying. The bondage was guaranteed death. I’ve seen Tigers in cages. Endlessly pacing back and forth. Looking out with dead eyes hoping their body soon follows.  

I plead my case to the mighty spirits of the forge To the ancient intelligence of Fire and Iron. Repair me! Weyland the Smith! Vulcan! Take up my broken parts. Mend them. Temper them. Sharpen them. I am a chain whose weakest link was found. It is time to collect myself, re-examine, and re-fortify. I seek the links of my chain. A chain that is also ancestral and starts far beyond what I can see. Beginning in such a place of subtly, neither hand nor eye may lay themselves upon it. Only the heart can sense it. As that chain grows denser, snaking through all my mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, it manifests as my physical body’s kinetic chain of movement. 

I lay the chain of my life over the anvils of souls. Weyland the Smith. Vulcan, maybe even Ogun Ferray, will take up my cause. To them, I say:

Fathers of the Forge Invocation

“Fathers of the forge, you with the spirit of fire and iron. Repair me. Strike me with your hammer and remake me your image. Make me stronger than before. I will work as you work. I will toil as you toil. I will suffer as you suffer. Nothing for nothing.

Grace is mercy. Grace is the blessing of Father Jupiter, but Jupiter does not favor the lazy. Through work, we gain strength. Grace that affords us the opportunity but not the guarantee. I will do my part. I will strengthen the physical chain of my body and return to wholeness. Show the mighty Fathers of the Forge my gratitude and appreciation for their work. I will pay my dues in sweat and blood. 

I will then pay it forward.

From tarnished to polished. 

From wounds to weapons. 

From tragedies to tools.”

Such is how the Shed of Rebellion was built.

Ignition, the path of Mars and the realization of God by Kevin Wikse.

UPDATE 08/05/2023


The following post I made HERE on 6/15/2011 on my long (too long) quiet Circus of Mars blog. Revisiting my emerging voice to discover how far I have come and, in the process, giving them an update is cathartic. The threads of my ideologies are present, but they are still raw and primarily abstract, clearly evidenced in my writing. If I only knew then where those early posts would lead me. Even so, I would do it again, only this time, more and louder. Even today, the path of Mars, a Kaballaistic reference, is my most well-trodden road toward the ever-deepening realization of God. 


-Kevin Wikse


In the modern world, the force and power of Mars likens very well to a combustion engine. Heat plus explosion equals energy. The hotter, the more forceful the blast, the higher the output. Others should marvel at the potential power contained in your life, even when it's idling. 


Implementing strength training as a spiritual practice and religious devotion is undoubtedly not the way of least resistance. The way of least resistance is what you are initially indoctrinated. You will never live like a man or woman of freedom if you worship God like a slave kneeling, begging, and groveling at the feet of their master. Even worse is the slavish non-secular devotion to the State as God. 


There is no begging, whining, or sniveling on the path of Mars to realize God. 


Strength training as a physical devotion SHOWS Mars that you are willing to sweat, suffer, and strain. You deserve greater might, peace, and durability. You are, after all, performing acts that will build you those qualities while in the presence of divinity. God and Mars see you training and mustering the courage to face weakness and pain. To eliminate and replace them with strength and confidence. You are making no "deals." You demonstrate your worth, and God responds in kind. 


Engaging and bringing all your bodies into the same act (physical, mental, astral, emotional) is essential. Nothing brings all your parts together like a weighty, full-body exercise. These are squats, cleans and presses, burpees, deadlifts, and Turkish get-ups. 


I recommend doing a heavy full-body exercise first. Igniting your engine and increasing heat and thereby power output. You cannot perform these exercises mindlessly. You must be aware and present, marshaling your intention into unification and wholeness of self and engaging all your "bodies" of every planetary sphere.  


Activation of your Martian or "Mars-body" will radiate and roar like a great engine with the unique vibration and frequency of Mars or Geburah. Over time you will be re-made for the realization of God by walking the path of Mars, and Mars will know your face like a friend. Through your deeds and actions, you will become worthy of grace. Salvation because you set to task clearing the way for it. 


Only after you have engaged in a full-body training modality and applied strict discernment can you perform one or two, but no more, specialized exercises that specifically support your present goals. 


Training in this way significantly reduces your chance of injury while greatly improving your physical, mental, and spiritual strength. Nerve activation is the ability to recruit more and more muscles into a specific full-body functional task. Pair that with a spartan number of specific auxiliary exercises for specialized development, and you have a well-defined path of Mars to march toward the realization of God.

Kevin Wikse vs. The Men in Black by Kevin Wikse



Circa 1993 or 1994, I became acquainted with a Ufologist named Phil Schnieder, who I met after his presentation in Idaho Falls, Idaho. His death in 1996 was ruled a suicide. However, I and many others point to murder. Phil said he probably would not be alive much longer because of what he revealed. I have been told he was referring to his terminal cancer, but I suspect differently. 


I helped build and run a U.F.O. and conspiracy website in the late 90s and early 2000s, much of it focusing on Phil Schnieder's information and death. If memory serves, the website was through Geo-Cities. The website disappeared around 2006 after a long string of threats of violence and what we know today as doxing. When this experience happened, the website was already gone. I was meeting a friend in Los Angeles, CA, to discuss a new Phil Schnieder and U.F.O. project.


This experience cemented in me the vital importance of regular strength training. It also opened up new interests, such as the dedicated study and practice of Eye Gazing found within Hindu Tartaka meditation and the eye fascination of French Mesmerism. 


I would also like to connect with and discuss with others who have had M.I.B. encounters. I recapitulate this event often. The trauma is not easily overcome. Writing and talking about it is a great way to heal and express. It reminds me that I can handle anything if I can survive such an encounter.  


I have also been told that my experience leading up to the M.I.B. encounter matches the descriptions of directed energy or sonic weapons used against Targeted Individuals or T.I. These weapons reportedly induce wild shifts in mood and cause overwhelming anxiety in their targets.

__________________________________________________


I was driving from Idaho to California when I entered Nevada. It was a sunny August day on the I-15, and I was making good time. As I crossed the Nevada state line, I started focusing on this stretch of interstate's more eerie qualities. This realization came over me like a creeping sense of dread. Little by little, mile after mile, it consumed my thoughts.


A sudden wave of panic hit me so hard that I thought I was blindsided by a vehicle. I white-knuckled the steering wheel and stomped the brakes. The once wide open and beautiful desert fast became a vast wasteland of soul-crushing isolation.


I took a few moments to collect myself. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I sat frozen in fear. I felt like something was chasing me, but there was nothing, just an empty road ahead and behind me. After a few minutes of controlled breathing, the panic dissipated enough for me to tentatively step on the gas.


After I got rolling, another internal conflict started to stir inside me. My inner chatter began debating whether I should continue driving to California, or at least Las Vegas (less than an hour away), or pull over and wait until these feelings passed. From every logical perspective pulling over was a foolish idea. However, I could not shake the feeling of despair and near panic. Soon I caught myself vividly imagining how someone might commit suicide in the desert. The urge to wallow in these dangerous thoughts was so persistent it was becoming difficult to remember where I was going.


A chill went through me. I wasn't driving at all but idling on the side of the road. How long had I been like this? I did not know, but I knew something was wrong. Was I going to die here? My immediate answer was no. A flash of white-hot anger exploded in my brain for reasons born out of pure survival instinct. I gunned it, pedal to the metal. I tore down the road, fully determined to escape this nightmare and get to California.


The feeling of progressing forward was exhilarating, and I breathed sighs of relief. I was in the process of filing away the ordeal when flashing blue lights grabbed my attention. An honest "what the fuck” moment as a black sedan with its visor lights on full blast dominated my rearview mirror. All my prior psychodrama completely vanished at the arrival of one all-encompassing thought, "Where the fuck did that pig come from?!". In disbelief, I eased off the gas and veered to the side of the road. I mused the vehicle might pass me by; maybe it was en route to an emergency. But my vain hope evaporated when the black sedan decreased its speed and slowly crept in behind me.


Retrieving my license and registration, I readied myself to provide one-worded answers to the crafted questions from an asshole with both a badge and a quota. Minutes passed, but the black sedan just sat there. I recognized the mind games, and I would not be rattled. Waiting for an officer to exit allowed me to make two notable observations concerning the vehicle. First, it was minus a front license plate; second, the windshield was tinted. Neither implication sat well with me. 


When the driver's side door finally opened, an imposing creature appeared. At 6'6 or 6'7, he was lanky and a bit gangly. He resembled a Dick Tracy villain in his black trench coat and fedora. But no matter how cartoonish this skinny ogre looked, the violence he carried in his face was no laughing matter.


He didn't walk but instead marched towards me. He stopped abruptly, maybe a foot from my driver's side door. Stooping down and leaning in a little to meet me face-to-face. We eyed each other, but neither of us spoke. His gaze was cruel. His eyes had the tint of albinism pink. I knew, whatever he was, he wasn't a cop or an F.B.I. agent, at least not the "on books" kind. 


As vicious as it was, his unblinking glare possessed a fascinating quality. Intuitively I knew I ran the risk of becoming hypnotized by it. I kept breaking eye contact with him and checked my rearview mirror. He noticed this and spoke. 


"Just what the fuck do you think you will see back there?" he said, breaking the silence in an odd, maybe purposely distorted, high-pitched voice.


"Well, aren't there usually two of you clowns?" I replied, toggling my attention between his stare and my rearview mirror.


His eyes flared at my question. I finally noticed he had no eyebrows or eyelashes. His face reminded me of a burn victim's. His skin did not seem real. Waxy-yellow in color. His face was hairless, with ultra-thin lips and a small vertical ridge for a nose. 


The pitchiness of his voice grew sterner, "What do you mean there are usually two of us clowns?!" he questioned, unhitching his fixed gaze on me and looking back to the black sedan.


"I am not exactly sure what type of clown you are or who else might come piling out of your clown car, but I know you are no cop, and I am under no legal obligation to stay here," I replied, matching his sterner tone and reaching for my keys.


"You are not sure of anything, are you, Kevin? And not for a while now. You don't know how you feel. You don't know what you are doing in that shit show you call your life. Certainly, you don't know where you are going, not now or in general", he retorted, emphasizing my name and widening his eyes as he re-trained his stare at me.


He likely sensed mild distress in me after dropping my name and eluding to the high strangeness I recently experienced. 


"You are not going anywhere. Your erratic and unsafe driving will probably get you killed. But what will get you killed is the "crazy person" shit you post online. You sound like a real goddamn fucking lunatic on your website. That is some real loony bin material you are cranking out. Aliens and U.F.O.s, that is crazy talk! Someone ought to have you committed somewhere. You need some fucking help, Kevin." He growled and showed his teeth, stretching his thin lips to reveal tiny, sharp-looking teeth like a piranha's.


The gravitas of my situation was not lost on me. The idea of being "disappeared" by this entity ignited a secondary explosion of white-hot defiance in my brain.


"I make you two promises, you aberrant fish-faced mutant fuck! I am not going anywhere with you, and I will post this online!" I growled back and went to fire up my truck.


"Well, looks like we are about to have another missing person," he roared and lunged at me.


His speed was surprising, but the force with which he slammed his elongated body into the side of my truck startled me. He was astonishingly strong. He seized my throat with his right hand, and I could barely prevent being wholly manhandled by him. His long-fingered and slender left hand swatted my right hand away from the keys, still in the ignition, and clamped down on my wrist with unexpected authority. He wanted those keys, and we both knew I would be fucked if he got them.


The years of crushing closed heavy hand grippers till blood dribbled out from underneath my fingernails, ripping giant monster-class kettlebells off the ground to overhead till the skin on my hands tore open, and swinging large clubs and maces till my forearm muscles swelled so much I couldn't make a fist, were all being called into action. 


I shifted my body as best I could to better square up with him. I snaked my right hand under and over his left wrist. I cleverly outwrestled his wrist grab, now pinning his left side against the steering wheel with my right, securing it with as much strength and body weight as I could marshal. Reaching up with my free hand, I grasped his right thumb and curtly peeled it back and away from my throat, feeling his thumb either break or dislocate inside my grip.


This maneuver cleared away his right arm enough so I could pepper his fishy face with a few short-range jabs. However, they lacked the sting I felt he deserved, so I forced fed his mouth and strange nose my elbow instead. Those seemed like they hurt. Unfortunately for me, he was just getting warmed up. He answered by raining down a barrage of retaliatory rights with scary force. I brought my thickly muscled forearm and shoulder together, clasping the back of my head, forming a meat shield to bear the brunt of his assault. I shudder when I think about the fate which would've awaited me had punches gotten through and knocked me unconscious.


My survival lay in keeping his left hand pinned against the wheel. This simple tactic prevented him from grabbing my keys, re-establishing distance, achieving better positioning, pulling a weapon, or other possibilities that could quickly spell out my doom.


He had me like a cornered animal. Thankfully that animal was a lion. I knew I could not keep his hand pinned forever. I was a cornered lion, and him the tiger I had by his tail. Being inside the truck also limited his actions against me and restricted my options. I was being crushed between a rock and a hard place. Having reached this dour stalemate, we continued to tear at each other. If not for self-preservation, then out of sheer frustration.


He was really tenderizing my left arm with his punches. My shoulder and tricep were starting to cramp, and soon, my meat shield would be breached. I had to make a move. I transformed my left thumb into a vengeful spike and drove it hard and deep into his earhole. I redirected his focus through sudden and unexpected pain. I quickly latched onto his ear with a vice-tight pinch grip. I sacrificed the pin I had over his left hand for a wrist grab, and by his ear and wrist, I yanked him into the truck.


He was now genuinely face-to-face with me but so close and off-balance he couldn't leverage his strength to injure me. Bent over and sideways, he was high-centered over my truck's window. His lower body was dangling out the side. 


I would make my play. I noticed a screwdriver tucked into a utility pouch behind the passenger's seat during our grapple, and I desperately needed a weapon. I attempted to serpentine my left arm, under his left arm, around the back of his neck. A half-nelson hold barring and securing him. I hoped to quickly reach back for the screwdriver with my right hand. He felt his opening when I let go of his wrist and immediately clawed at my eyes. Knowing how strong he was and how vulnerable my eye would be, I had no choice but to defend my eyes instead of going for the screwdriver. Twisting to his belly, he almost slithered back out the window. He tried to escape.


His establishing distance meant almost certain death for me. Again I brought my years of hoisting heavy iron and club swinging to bear against him. I lassoed him in a side headlock with my left and extremely battered arm, then, inch by agonizing inch, ratcheted him back in. I forced his left arm down with my right arm and trapped it between my knees. At last, I had him secured. 


It was now or never. 


I grabbed the screwdriver and pulled it from the utility pouch like Excalibur from the stone. Employing the screwdriver as an ice pick, I savagely perforated his face and the top of his skull, rendering his head a block of Swiss cheese. I was shocked to see that his blood was red. I was not expecting that.


If I thought he was strong before, I hadn't seen anything yet. He must have had a white-hot explosion of his own (inspired in the way only a screwdriver to the face can) as he thrashed about with such rage I lost total control of him. He launched himself back out the window. He fell prone onto the asphalt with his large mutant hands covering his face, writhing and screaming. I was tempted to get out of my truck to finish him off and perhaps claim a piece of him. However, survival tactics trumped trophy hunting, and I fired up my truck instead. I peeled out from the side of the road, leaving him and whoever else might have been in that black sedan in the dust.


My paranoia subsided when I reached Los Angeles. It would be days later before I wasn't routinely checking over my shoulder, more than usual. If my special M.I.B friend should ever read this, I've kept my promises to you.


I am ready to finish it whenever you are.
