Today Mike as...

Series 6 Post 8:  God of boundaries, roads and travelers, thieves, athletes, shepherds, commerce, speed, cunning, wit, magic and sleep Psychopomp and divine messenger

🌸 His attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster, the tortoise, satchel or pouch, talaria (winged sandals), and winged helmet or simple petasos, as well as the palm tree, goat, the number four, several kinds of fish, and incense. However, his main symbol is the caduceus, a winged staff intertwined with two snakes copulating and carvings of the other gods. 🌸 Homer and Hesiod portrayed Hermes as the author of skilled or deceptive acts and also as a benefactor of mortals. In the Iliad, he is called "the bringer of good luck", "guide and guardian", and "excellent in all the tricks". He was a divine ally of the Greeks against the Trojans. 🌸 The Homeric Hymn 4 to Hermes, which tells the story of the god's birth and his subsequent theft of Apollo's sacred cattle, invokes him as the one "of many shifts (polytropos), blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods." 🌸 Beginning with the earliest records of his worship, Hermes has been understood as a chthonic deity (heavily associated with the earth and/or underworld). As a chthonic deity, the worship of Hermes also included an aspect relating to fertility, with the phallus being included among his major symbols. The inclusion of phallic imagery associated with Hermes and placed, in the form of herma, at the entrances to households may reflect a belief in ancient times that Hermes was a symbol of the household's fertility, specifically the potency of the male head of the household in producing children.

“I always rehearse before I pray”

I wish I could give you flowing lines, Elegant meter and effortless rhyme. I wish I could be Ovid for you.

Fragments fall from my lips, Aborted phrases I’m Too embarrassed to even finish in my head.

These are the words I’ve swallowed: These and many more.

Let me sink beneath your dark ocean waves Close my eyes so all I see is you Let me suck the nectar off your fingertips And live off nothing else I would give my life for you to love me back

Please, show me you know I exist My lungs wither with bated breath All day we throw roses at the other’s feet Yet still I question how you feel I would give my death for you to love me back

I tend your temple with each beat of my heart Holy beloved on winged feet To your honor, god of slumbering minds, of subtlety, of well spoken words, of the contract and the loophole, of the spirit that slips beyond its outworn vessel, of the heavens and the underworld Praises 🙏 #pagansofinstagram #hellenicpolytheism #hermesgod #godhermes #greekgods #olympiangods #hymns #paganhymns #witch #witchesofinstagram

"Eu sou Hermes. Eu sou os caminhos e sou aquele que por eles caminha. Eu sou o desejo de fazer e a satisfação de obter. Eu sou a magia pessoal que existe em cada um. O Livre Arbítrio. Você caminha por onde deseja? Você sabe quando caminhar e quando parar para ouvir? Não você não sabe. Porque essas coisas você não aprende, e sim, você se torna. Como assim? Aff... Qual parte da minha linda metáfora sobre ser livre você não entendeu? Hehehe."
