Hi there, this post is just to express a bit of my thankfulness to Hermes and to share with you a little insight of his light.

As some of you may have seen, a couple days ago I've set my altar up for him and since, things have gone smoothly (more on our previous state of relationship on there btw). I try to pray and offer regularly and even tho I had a goal of offering and praying once a week on Wensday, I've found myself praying and offering almost once a day just because I felt like it. I hope it's not just confirmation bias, but I think that I've felt the joy of appreciated offering.

Today, I was really tired, I had slept at a friend's house and hadn't exactly had much sleep. I went to bed may be a 7pm only to be woken up at 8pm to go walk the dog. It's not much, but I was really frustrated to be the one woken up when I was already exhausted to go walk the dog when the person could have do it themselves. But still, I had no really choice and got dress to go.

For a few days now, I've tried active meditations to cope with ADHD and just have a moment to have my head empty while not just sitting and struggling. I thought about it but was just to generally frustrating that i couldn't concentrate at all.

I was right in front of my house when it happens. One of my friends just casually walked pass my house. Like that it doesn't seems surprising but it's in fact pretty odd. I live near a train station so i do have friends walking past my house daily, but it was late, at night, and it was a specific friend that doesn't really go out so often.

They don't really go out, even less by night and late. Moreover, they have a bus stop right next to where they live so it's more common for them to take the bus.

But here they where, walking past my house after I had be so frustrated and actually apologize to Hermes for not being the best version of myself today. I fully intend to take that as a gesture from him. It might not be, but I like to take it that way anyway.

I was able to talk with her and calm myself before going back home. I really think he put her on my path and I am so grateful of him for that. I Hadn't much to offer tonight to thank him but fully intend to make another offering for him tomorrow.

This post is mostly a positive rant I guess ? I really just wanted to show my appreciation.
I hope that he can guide you through your tough times as well.

May you find peace and happiness in your faith <3

Like the title says. Specifically powder when I asked. I did a keyboard reading and got a very clear "coffee" and that's it. I offered him some powdered coffee after further questioning and now I'm wondering if he is associated with coffee, and if he has ever asked anyone else for it? I have never seen anyone say so before, but it would make sense for him to be associated with it since yk energy boosts and all.

So a few months ago I went to a witchy festival with all kinds of vendors and one lady had a gumball machine with dice and as soon as I saw it I felt like Hermes wanted me to get one to use for divination practice. The one I got was PERFECT, white & iridescent with gold numbers! I was so excited to use it, but since then I’ve only sat down and asked Him (or Apollo) questions three times. I got a sign recently to practice more divination, and tbh I’ve been putting it off, idk why, I’m just nervous asking the gods to help me directly like that like i dont want to bother them yknow? Anyways, tonight i saw a dice incense holder at the store that i had to buy, and i went to put it on my shelf where i keep my special things for Hermes and Apollo. I noticed my white & gold divination dice was missing. It’s possible my cat knocked it over, but there’s many other tiny trinkets next to where it was and it would be very difficult to not move anything around it. Nothing seems like it’s been tampered with, and I know I havent moved it. It’s nowhere on the floor I looked everywhere in my room. It’s like it just disappeared. Is this a sign or something???

Is Hermes day every Wednesday? Or just the first Wednesday of the month?

Friday the 13th is our Anniversary of Co-Creation or agreeing to a mutual beneficial relationship. This is officially our 4th year formally but he has been a presence in my life since I was born. It took me awhile to break free from Christian dogma, doubt and fear and thankfully he was patient and waited for me to discover him again as we have been companions through many lifetimes and iterations. Since meeting him my life has grown in leaps and bounds in many positive ways. Even the negative things have turned out to be beneficial. He walked with me through me sister's death and helped me come out the other side more courageous and motivated then ever.

Every time I think this can't go any deeper or grow more he proves me wrong. In the last couple years he has pushed me to truly embrace my inner storyteller and bring her forth into the light. I have almost completed a trilogy I started back in 2011 and I we have written a beautiful animal fable together. With his help I was able to find a great editor turned friend and find a top tier story editor to help me really refine my first novel and get it agent shopping ready. With his help that editor friend introduced me to an amazing local artists that has helped bring life to the animal fable. She loves nature as much as I do and has captured Hermes and the local flora and fauna perfectly with her amazing colored pencil and watercolor work. Both my editor friend and artist friend are supportive and curious about my work with Hermes and I cant tell you how good that feels. Hermes even started sending them both obvious signs of his presence when I started working with them. So uncanny where the signs that my artists friend is now completely convinced he is real.

Currently, the things he's teaching me are not comfortable or easy but I know I will be better on the other side. A reversal of what I thought was love and support has shown me that I am all the love and support I need. He has shown me the value of old true friends even when they aren't as exciting or shiny as new friends who are only empty flatterers and yes-women. He has helped me realize that I can be vulnerable with people and even when they betray me I have at least not let myself harden and close back up. He has helped me see that my vulnerability and hence, strength, is not dictated by my fear. He has helped me see that my ego is easily placated and that I can miss red flags. Through this lesson I have learned to NOT ignore those little whispers of my heart and inner truth that lets me know when things are off. Amid this he has helped me learn that I need to be more discriminating with my friends. He brought these women into my life at a time when I really needed them. Now, I do not and like the tree letting go of its leaves when they have served a purpose, I let them go gracefully with gratitude.

I could go on but that'll be in my next book. XD

I'm so thankful for his presence in my life and can't wait to see what this next year brings! It's always an adventure with him and he definitely keeps me on my toes. I ask for more and he never fails.

May Hermes Pompaios guide you to your highest good and greatest expression of your true self.

May Hermes Epimelius protect and keep you safe.

May Hermes Eriounes bring you all the luck and help you need on your path.

May Hermes Dais Hetairos show you the glorious feast that is life.

May Hermes Krateros give you all the strength you need to navigate successfully through a greatly changing world full of confusion, upheavals, and paradigm shifts. May he grant you the strength to stand for equality, justice, liberty, equinimity and peace.

And just for spice...

May Hermes Polytropos bring you fun, tricks, reversals, and keep you on your toes. May he inspire you to keep asking questions in the pursuit of knowledge of self. :) <3 :)

Hi there, okay something kinda weird happened to me this night and I'm not sure wether it's my own brain or maybe a sign. Advices and opinions are welcome.

So for the past few months I've had lord Hermes in mind. I'm someone who has the chance to do a lot of travel so he kinda stuck in my head.

With that, my boyfriend offered me a plushie that looks like ... Let's say a small dinosaur but with two little wings coming out of his head. I named him Hermes (thinking back, this was may be inappropriate..) and he became my "travel plushie" so that I don't loose another one.

All of this started mostly as a joke or something unserious. But he still stayed in my head.

So I became more serious. I made some researches, I made some offerings, I even prayed prayed a few times. I think it all started when I almost miss one of my flights and I prayed to him to be able to catch it (I did).

For the last month or so I've been a bit more serious in my practice, really trying to research and start spinning everything you see ?

Finally, I prayed for him to grant me a good travel on my last trip to London. I was granted my wish and brought back little souvenirs for him.

I wanted to offer him almost right away before deciding it would be best to do it on a Wednesday and I thought I could finally set up an altar. It might have been the right call as I has found one of my bracelet I had lost for a few weeks outside.

I believe I'm a bit late for that but keep in mind that it stared to get serious a few months ago, maybe 3, and it seems a short amount of time to me. I'm not sure I know enough about the rituals, about him and his myths, and I'm willing to continue learning to honor him as best as I can.

Anyway, I was getting nervous yesterday. It's something to pray sometimes, to guide the people lost in the train station that i use, to give to homeless sometimes and to try to be better, but it seems like something else to just set up an altar and a regular worship.

I made research but once again, I'm not sure it's enough.

And last night, I've dreamed of everything. I think he has already tried to reach out in my dreams once, and I'm not sure if it was another one. I my dream I do the rituals that I had in mind, I see what works, what don't and just practice before the actual ritual ? I know it's probably just my anxious brain doing stuff but I would like to take that as a sign, it would honestly reassure me but I would like your thoughts.

I am delusional and anxious or could it be Lord Hermes?

Since the weather’s finally nice in FL , ive been taking my herding dog on trails n dedicating our walks to Hermes Found a lil stick who’s shadow looked like his caduceus on the path n brought it along for the remainder of the hike 🥹 Its been lovely spending this quality time w my 2 favs while we decompress from the current state of this world

I normally only worship Sirona but yesterday and today I lit a candle for Him for the first time. I asked for His blessing and praised His holy name.

Those same days, I've had a lot of accidental misunderstandings with my only friend. It's been an absolutely awful couple days with uncharacteristic conflict.

Does Hermes hate me? Did I somehow bring bad luck upon me by praying to Hermes? Is my soul a demon or something and He's punishing me?

Hey

I was wondering that because I saw in the Hellenism sub people arguing that monolatry is not valid and i strongly disagree. It’s not because you worship only one deity that you don’t recognize and respect the existence of others.

And I only worship Hermes and don’t plan to worship any other deities. He matched perfectly with my lifestyle and I feel close to him more than any else. Yet I still do prayers to Selene at the full moon sometimes etc but still Hermes is the one for me.

Am I the only one ? Thanks :)

i recently got called from Hermes and i found out that hes my father, i dont know much about paganism but i started talking with him through a candle, i already made a little altar. how can i work with him?

So my phone was stolen today haha... do i need to talk to Hermes? (is it because i watched too many videos with Apollo? idk)

Anyway, i'm sad so if you have any ideas/thoughts on subject, please share.

I’ve only just recently have felt his presence around me. I’ve been traveling a lot for school and I think he is protecting me there as I’ve had to fix my car and it’s giving me warnings. I also feel like I’m losing objects around my house a lot where I just put them down and then they’re in a different spot and I feel like he’s messing with me qnd tricking me to get his attention. Is this something you have experienced or is this in my head?

First of all, I know candles are unreliable when it comes to divination of any sort, and they were supervised the entire time they were burning.

So last night I was burning some incense for Hermes and wanted to ask him a question through a pendulum. At that point, I had two candles burning for a while (just because I enjoy the ambience of a candle-lit room). They were burning quite steadily except for a little flickering every now and then, which is normal for every candle standing at that specific spot, so nothing out of the ordinary.

So after the initial "show me yes" and "show me no," I asked Hermes if he was here with me, and I got a yes. At the same time, both candle flames suddenly grew significantly taller and began to flicker more intensely, only for a few seconds, then they went back to normal. I asked my question and thanked Hermes, then went to do something else. A few minutes later a follow-up question came up, and I asked Hermes if he was still here, and the candle flames again grew taller and flickered more intensely as I got another yes. After the second question was answered, I asked Hermes if he was the one messing with the candles, and he said yes again.

Happy Mercury day, fellow devotees. I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of attending my first public ritual for Hermes, hosted by the amazing Thoth Stationary here in SoCal. The ritual was started in the hour of Mercury, on Hermes' day (of course!) that also happened to be on the 4th day of the month.

It was incredible to be around fellow followers of Hermes, and together we called him into the space and used the Hermes ink to write petitions to him, which we then burned ritually in front of an altar assembled just for the ritual.

The Hermes ink is a beautiful purple ink made with wolf hair, crocus flowers, the ashes of a letter, and frankincense. We were all given bottles of the ink and handmade quills to take home. They look great on my Hermes altar!

I just really wanted to share this story. It was so powerful to be among friends and to feel him so strongly with us, especially during this time of Mercury retrograde. I wish you all a blessed night. Hail Hermes!! ♡

I'm fairly new to this and don't exactly have means to communicate like dice or tarot, but I think it'd be fun to interact with Hermes, even just casually. My friend has access to tools like tarot, and a magic 8 ball to use, but I'm a bit stuck. Any suggestions on possible alternatives? Preferably digital (for ease of access).

My question is more about how we perceive deities in general and what exactly happened in my dream.

Here’s the thing: ever since I became interested in connecting with Lord Hermes and started learning about him, I’ve constantly associated him with the planet Saturn—I know. I’m fully aware that his representation is Mercury, and that in Roman mythology, Saturn is Cronus. But I simply can’t stop linking the two and keep confusing them over and over again.

Now, here’s why I’m making this post. Today, I dreamed that I encountered the planet Saturn. It literally appeared before me, massive, right in front of me. I don’t remember much beyond just seeing it and feeling a little scared by how immense it was. The thing is, during the dream and when I woke up, I thought, “It’s Lord Hermes,” and I didn’t realize my mistake until I told a friend about it. She rightly said, “That wasn’t Hermes. If it were him, it should have been Mercury.”

Since then, I’ve spent the whole day wondering why I associate him with Saturn and what this dream meant. I truly felt it was something very intense on a spiritual level. I know what I saw was more than just a dream, but I also know that, theoretically, I’m wrong to think it’s him when everything I’ve read says it isn’t.

Is today still Hermes day being Wednesday?

So recently i had a dream which i totally did not understand. So in my dream i was sitting on my normal table at night with only one small light above me that was enough for reading. On my table was sitting was seems like my report book. I flipped it open to a page which was supposed to be my picture and info, but it was all replaced by Hermes photo (a very funny one)that was pasted above mine and scribbled all over it was red ink and i could only remember some of it . I think one of it was "cheer up" and "co'mom talk to me" but there was two pages covered of these sentences covering everything that was printed on that book. Then i sighed and mumble,"must be Hermes" and closed my book. It was kinda weird and i did not really understand 90% of it🥲. Only clue i had was Hermes trying to cheer me up despite legit being on vacation and being over the moon.... And theories???
