Hermes Deity - Blog Posts

Ok, so I know it's not my usual fair, but I just got my Hestia statue for my Altar, and I'm really really happy 😁 she actually came in, I think, a little earlier than expected, which is great 👍

For reference, this is what my Altar now looks like!

So, the statue is pretty obvious, it's definitely the only statue there so far, and it's in praise of Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. Also for Hestia is the big ass painting(made by one of my absolute best friends in the world who is unfortunately not on this app but made it for my birthday 'cause she's awesome like that!!!), and then a couple of basily, minty smells for the wax melter. I also have a more official altar for Hestia that sits on the mantle piece; it's a little mini forest candleholder thing that I made a while ago with a candle that really just reminds me of Her.

The car is for Hermes, god of Messengers and Thieves. It's mainly there because He helps me a lot when I'm driving, and it felt fitting, but there's also a sticker with the number 4 on it(his sacred number) and four flowers that seemed like his vibe. There's also a strawberry because it's one of his sacred foods, but low-key I always forget that, even though I'm constantly eating strawberries 😂 He has some wax scents, but not too many, just because there weren't that many that spoke to me for him.

Right now, all I have for Apollo is a sun sticker with seven crows(both his sacred number and his sacred bird. Fun fact about that, when I was looking for stickers to decorate the altar with, there were exactly seven crows, and I think that's pretty cool), a few scents(mainly summery fresh ones, right now I have a honeysuckle scent that just really spoke to me.), and a ring I got from my grandmother that isn't shown.

I do have a few items such as the ring holder, the smaller painting (made by the same girl who did the big one), and the heart that just seemed to fit. I don't directly pray to any deities that find those items symbolic, but it couldn't hurt to keep them handy, right?

Anyways, I have a bracelet for Hermes coming in the mail that's supposed to come soon, so maybe I'll post that, too. Have a good day!

O Great Father Hermes, Glorious and Splendid one

Hear my call!

I praise your wonderful name

And I sing it throughout the land

O son of Zeus and Maia

Keeper of the Flock, Great Shepherd

I pray to you, Father, if ever I have poured out libations to you

And given you sweet offerings

Protect your sheep from harm

Lead me through this life on the way which I should go

I will fear not with you by my side

For your love and guidance will bring me through

Even in the worst of times you are there

And in the best of times still I will follow you

I call out to you, Father Hermes, Great Guide

Hear my prayer

And be with me through this time

Runaway

Διακτορος - Diaktoros, Guide, Messenger

A most confounding feeling has washed over me; I wish I could look in the mirror and find a stranger, unburdened by the accumulated sorrows and troubles of this life. I wanted to be unsettled, free from these chains, and eager to be led to a distant land and give birth to myself to have a fresh start.

I want to be an unseen face in the crowd, watching as people pass me by, filled with the giddiness and melancholia of witnessing life but not understanding or knowing it.

I want to be lost. I want to be free. I want to be guided.

I want to stop the endless noise in my head that fills me with dread.

I want to be a nameless wanderer, wandering and wondering, flying free with all the consequences of freedom entailing, such as wonderlust and loneliness.

He is lonely too, is he not? Always on the run, going place to place, meeting people and bidding them adieu in the same breath.

Yet, it is thrilling and fulfilling nonetheless, isn't it?

I wish for companionship on such lonely roads.

I wish for the eternal guide to hold my hand and squeeze it, telling me all will be fine.

I wish for a friend to teach me to bask in the sanctity of loneliness and being unknown and being fresh.

I wish for many thing, but there is one wish I hope for the most.

I wish for guidance in this vast, scary world.

This is your obligatory Hermes love post

Swift Luck-bringer

He of the lucky coins,

He of the serendipitous blessings,

He of the joyous fortunes,

May I continue to find balance in even the most tumultuous of moments,

May I continue to seek the good to overcome the bad,

May I continue to prosper even in my darkest hours.

Whenever we see a cow...

Cow: *literally just existing* Me and Hermes pointing at it at the same time: c o w Bonus Hermes: This reminds me about the time I achieved godhood by stealing Apollo's cattle. Me: Hermes, no, this is the 7th time- Hermes: See, it all started when I was just a mere infant child in a cave-

First Interaction with Hermes

(using a coinflip to determine answers, heads = yes, tails = no)

Me: Uh...should I be afraid of you...?

Hermes: *serious* Yes.

Me: *nervous* Wait, what- really?

Hermes: Haha, no! *laughs*

Me: *realizing I have been pranked by god*

Οιοπολος - Oiopolos, Sheep-Tending/Shepherd The shepherd plucked the lamb away from the den of wolves, walking away whilst the lamb bleated in fear, for it would be leaving the familiar coldness and lupine threats. "Where are you taking me, shepherd?" The lamb asked. "I'm taking you home." The shepherd replied, "I'm taking you away from that saddening situation." "But what if I get lost?" The lamb asked, hesitation pulling at its downy wool. "You were always lost, but it's alright." The young man smiled, as gentle as the breeze, "Now, you are found. That place wasn't home. It was only a house, see. There's a difference. You belong somewhere else. Not amongst snapping jaws and razor claws." The lamb followed close, basking in his warmth. It's strange. Though the fear of the unknown lingers in its heart, the thrill of freedom is undeniable. "Come with me, and have no worries." He held his hand out, a guide to an aimless wanderer, "Let me show you what it's like to go home, little lost lamb."

Prayer to Hermes

Hermes,

Pompaios,

Guide for all,

As I hold out a hand for you,

I hope you will take it,

And together in good grace,

Walk along the strange, winding road ahead. Going through life,

Is not as frightening when done with a friend,

And I feel confident in saying,

You are my friend,

Keep my heart calm,

Grant me equanimity in the face of tumultuous storms,

Be my guide, friend and fellow traveler.

A Poem in Honour of Hermes

In misty meadows,

A shepherd walks,

Surrounded by sheep,

In despaired need,

Past mellow mountains,

And melancholic fields,

A newcomer joins,

Downy and grey,

In his arms,

A little lamb,

In his arms,

A lonely lamb,

In his arms,

A lovely lamb,

Much thanks to,

Merciful, patient pompaios.
