Hermes of the Ways

“I, Hermes, stand here at the cross-roads by the wind-beaten orchard, near the hoary-grey coast;

And I keep a resting-place for weary men. And the cool stainless spring gushes out.”

Anyte of Tegea,  3rd Century BC

A Simple Prayer to Hermes for Safe Travels

Messenger of the Heavens,

Traveler of Gods,

To you I pray.

May you walk alongside me as i carry on my way.

Step by step along my path, I ask for your watchful eye.

Should I be forewarned, send a message from the sky.

Winged Wanderer, I ask for your grace,

Shroud me in protection as I travel place to place.

Prayer to Hermes

Winged sandals and hat Carry you nimbly through the air Golden wand gleaming, Radiant in the sun

A smile plays across your lips Laughter and wit Come as naturally as breath You are never lost for words

Hail, Hermes Kydimos! To you I sing these praises If only words were able To convey the essence of a god!

Trickster, Deceiver, Guide, Messenger and Friend, Son of Zeus and Maia He who travels both The heavens and the underworld With a smile and sharp tongue

Oh Hermes Kydimos, Dolios, Angelos Athanaton, Khrysorrhapis, I praise and worship you!

From Life Magazine (1886)

[hermes-dotor-eaon]

Hermes is golden. He is glory, He is safety. He is the assurance we do not become our parents, the assurance that recovery is working. Pray He helps all of us to journey down our paths as if on winged sandals.
