my (rrverse) modern hermes trueform headcanon is something like this

he's just made out of connections. interlocking paths, circuit boards, activating neurons, electrical wires. all that stuff. he's like a very compressed map

electricity aesthetics!! bc that's where communications are at now and also to show how influenced (and dare we say corrupted) he's become by zeus

he travels through frequency waves and his caduceus acts as a satellite antenna. he's very cell tower core lmao

if I had to stylize his halo for a drawing it would be the wi-fi symbol

Fine, I'll get married for now!

it really is SUCH a shame that there’s no episode of TOS where the enterprise crew time jumps to Regency-era England or goes to a planet that modeled its culture on that era or something, because it would truly slap for every single main character. Like I don’t even have to explain why this would be awesome for Spock— Mr. I’ll-smash-a-computer-with-my-bare-hands-before-I’ll-admit-I’m-horny himself, king of repression, who basically recreated the famous Pride and Prejudice Hand Flex Scene™️ with his beloved Captain that one time, who meets a blind woman with a high tech gown that helps her “see” and LITERALLY tells her to give his compliments to her dressmaker, who mislead a woman once about his affections and tenderly promised to safeguard her reputation forever about it, who has the perfect angular features to be set off by a cravat—I mean, you get it, but then you’ve also got Kirk—handsome, affable, brave Naval captain who loves his crew more than himself, who falls in like deep profound love with every woman the plot throws at him—and then McCoy—cantankerous, sure, (ever heard of a grumpy/sunshine trope??) but with impeccable, downright old school manners towards women and, yeah, a doctor’s not that prestigious in Regency times, but for like a young lady in trouble who needs the protection of a man’s name or who just wants to piss off her stuffy aristocrat family by marrying “beneath” them, who could be better? If you throw Scotty in the mix, well, he’s Scottish, which [points at a whole subgenre of regency romance novels] is all he’d really need. I’m just saying they would have CLEANED UP, okay??

Jiyan Guide - Full.

Section 1: Special abilities

When casting his skill, he uses a spear to dart forward, dealing damage to the enemies.

You can also use his skill in the air by jumping > skill > basic attack

You can release during his charged attack.

If you hold his charged attack, he will jump in the air and you can use basic attack to cause him to plunge down.

He has two ults. The first one is when you have low resolve. You will press his ult while he is on the ground and use basic attack repeatedly until the ult runs out.

His second ult can be casted when he has full resolve. You will want to jump in the air for this ult, then repeatedly do basic attacks until the ult runs out.

Section 2: Skills priorities

You will want to prioritize his resonance liberation, or his ult as this is where a majority of his damage comes from.

Forte Circuit

Resonance Skill

Intro Skill

Basic Attack

His resonance liberation and his forte circuit should be prioritized first, followed by the resonance skill. His intro skill and basic attack can be leveled up, but they do not make much of a difference in his gameplay.

Section 3: Rotation

First, use his resonance skill.

After activiating his skill, use his echo (which should be the Fellain Beringal)

Switch to one of the sub-dps, such as Mortefi and charge up that character's concerto energy.

After that character has full concerto energy, switch to Jiyan and he will perform his intro skill.

Use his resonance liberation/ult

Repeatedly do basic attacks until the ult is over.

Perform his outro skill by switching to the next character.

Repeat.

Section 4: Recommended sequences

While Jiyan is good at S0, having sequences for him can greatly improve his gameplay. However, his best sequences are 3, 5, and 6, so not very F2P friendly.

His 3rd sequence, Spectation, increases his crit rate and crit damage by 32% for 8s when he casts his intro skill, his resonance skill, or either of his ults.

His 5th sequence, Resoluton, increases the damage multiplier of his outro skill. When he hits an enemy target, his attack is increased by 3% for 8s and can be stacked up to 15 times.

His 6th sequence, Fortitude, basically gives him momentum that his high resolve ult consumes, dealing 120% more damage.

Section 5: Echo build

His best echo build is Sierra Gale x5 for extra aero damage bonus. His main echo should be Feilian Beringal. However, if you do not have a suitable option, he can also work with cyan-feather heron and hoochief.

His cost 4 echo should have a crit main stat (either one is fine, but crit rate is better if you don't have his main weapon)

His cost 3 echo should have aero damage bonus.

His cost 1 echoes should focus on atk%.

His substats should be prioritized by crit stats -> atk% -> heavy atk% damage -> energy recharge -> flat atk

Section 6: Weapons

Verdant Summit (his signature)

Ages of Harvest (Jinhsi signature)

Lustrous Razor (can be obtained from the level 45 weapon box)

Autumntrace (4 star)

Helios Cleaver (4 star)

Section 7: Teams

Jiyan -> Mortefi -> Verina

Jiyan -> Mortefi -> Baizhi

Jiyan -> Sanhua -> Baizhi

Jiyan -> Aalto -> Verina

What Happens During a Shamanic Journey?

A shamanic journey is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures across the globe, from the Amazon to Siberia. At its core, it is a meditative process that allows the practitioner--often a shaman or a seeker guided by one--to enter an altered state of consciousness and explore non-ordinary realms. These journeys are not escapism; they are intentional acts of spiritual exploration, healing, and connection. But what really happens during a shamanic journey? What does the practitioner experience, and how does it impact their waking life?

In this blog post, we'll explore the key stages of a shamanic journey, what a person might encounter, and why these experiences are deeply meaningful.

Entering the Journey: Setting the Intention

Every shamanic journey begins with intention. This isn't merely wishful thinking--it's a focused, purposeful question or goal that directs the journey. The practitioner may seek guidance, healing, ancestral insight, or clarity about a life decision. The clarity of this intention is crucial because it shapes the journey and determines what spirits or archetypal forces show up.

Before the journey begins, the shaman or facilitator often prepares the space with ritual and ceremony. This may involve smudging with sage, drumming, chanting, or calling in the directions--North, South, East, West--as well as the sky, Earth, and the center. These rituals help to create a sacred container for the journey.

Shifting Consciousness: The Role of Rhythm and Breath

To enter the shamanic state of consciousness, the practitioner usually relies on sound and rhythm--most commonly, the steady beat of a drum or rattle at about 4–7 beats per second. This rhythm helps entrain the brain into the theta state, which is associated with deep meditation, intuition, and altered awareness.

Some traditions use breathwork, chanting, or even entheogens (psychoactive plants) to induce the journey state. Regardless of method, the goal is the same: to shift the mind from the ordinary to the non-ordinary, creating a liminal space between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Once the brain is in the theta state, the journey begins. The practitioner may feel as though they are traveling--either ascending, descending, or moving across space. This is often accompanied by vivid imagery, symbolic landscapes, and the presence of guides or spirits.

The Journey Landscape: Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds

In many shamanic cosmologies, the spirit world is divided into three realms:

The Lower World is often accessed by descending through a cave, hole, or roots of a tree. It is not a place of darkness or evil but a realm of power animals, ancestral spirits, and deep Earth wisdom. Here, seekers might find animal allies, recover lost soul parts, or retrieve healing messages from the subconscious.

The Middle World reflects the energetic layer of the physical world. It is used for spirit tracking, healing, and communication with nature spirits. It's the realm where the shaman may travel to help someone else--retrieving information about illness, trauma, or spiritual imbalances.

The Upper World is typically accessed by climbing, flying, or moving upward through clouds or a beam of light. This realm is populated with ascended teachers, deities, and cosmic archetypes. Journeys here often bring expanded perspective, divine messages, and spiritual initiation.

Each of these realms has its own flavor, challenges, and wisdom. What a practitioner experiences is unique to them and often deeply symbolic.

Meeting Allies: Power Animals and Spirit Guides

One of the most common--and powerful--experiences during a shamanic journey is encountering spiritual allies. These may appear as animals, human-like figures, mythic beings, or even elemental forces.

Power animals are spiritual protectors and guides that embody qualities the practitioner needs. A bear might offer strength and grounding; a hawk, vision and clarity. Once met, these allies can be called upon in daily life for support and guidance.

Spirit guides may take on ancestral or angelic forms. They often serve as teachers, healers, or gatekeepers, helping the seeker navigate the spiritual realms.

These beings are not imagined in a fictional sense. From the shamanic perspective, they are energetic intelligences with real presence and agency in the unseen world.

Receiving Messages and Healing

The core of the journey lies in the insight or healing received. This may come as a vision, a sensation, a voice, or an intuitive knowing. The practitioner may be shown symbolic images--a broken mask, a river, a flame--or experience something emotionally moving, like an embrace from an ancestor or the release of long-held grief.

In some cases, the journey involves soul retrieval--bringing back lost aspects of the self that fragmented during trauma. In others, it's about energetic cleansing--removing harmful attachments, entities, or emotional residue. Sometimes the healing is subtle, a shift in awareness or a new perspective that blooms over time.

Returning and Integration

After a time--usually 15 to 30 minutes--the drumbeat changes to signal the return. The practitioner comes back through the same path they took--up from the lower world, down from the upper world--and gently reorients to physical reality.

But the journey doesn't end there. The integration phase is just as important. What did the symbols mean? What does the guidance suggest in real life? Journaling, drawing, or talking with a trusted guide can help unpack the meaning.

Shamans often say that "a journey not integrated is a journey wasted." The real power lies in applying the wisdom--making changes, taking action, or embodying the healing that was offered.

The Transformative Nature of the Journey

A shamanic journey is not just an inner adventure--it's a transformation of consciousness. It realigns the seeker with their deeper purpose, reconnects them with nature and spirit, and offers tools for living in balance. Over time, regular journeys can increase intuition, emotional resilience, and a felt sense of interconnection with the web of life.

In a world often fragmented by stress, technology, and disconnection, shamanic journeying provides a sacred space to listen--to the Earth, to the ancestors, to the soul itself.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or simply curious, the shamanic journey invites you into a profound relationship with the unseen. It's not about escape--it's about remembering who you truly are and walking your path with clarity, courage, and compassion. Now that you know the basics, take a shamanic journey.
