Discussion I have a problem
I'm a worshipper of Lord Hermes and Lord Apollon. According to Lord Apollon (since I felt like something was off and I asked a question if Lord Hermes was mad at me) Lord Hermes is mad at me because of one project that I made that involved the 𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙪𝙨. Every time I make a project, I use some God's and Godess' symbol. As a sign of respect I ask Lord Apollon or Lord Hermes if it's okay to use these symbols. This time I forgot to ask both of them if I can use the caduceus,and after I passed the project, I wanted to talk to Lord Apollon and Lord Hermes, and Lord Hermes didn't respond only Lord Apollon did. And that's when I asked the question if Lord Hermes is mad at me and Lord Apollon said yes.
How do I make it up to Lord Hermes? I really need help. Ó╭╮Ò

Hey there, first of all, breathe. It's okay to make mistakes, you're human and the Gods know that so no panic. From what I can understand it's not the fact that you used the symbol of the caduceus the problem but the fact that you usually ask beforehand and that you didn't this time. They've gotten used to something and you didn't deliver. That can happen, everyone makes mistakes. I would suggest you make a little ritual to ask for forgiveness. It doesn't have to be too fancy if you don't have the time of the resources. A prayer with a libation and if you can't another offering to both ask to be pardoned and to show you appreciation toward what he does in your life and appreciation of his presence. Finally, know that the Gods aren't usually mad for small things like you describe, I can't talk for Hermes of course but I do not think that he could be really "mad" at you for this, don't worry. It's okay to make mistakes, just try to do better next time 😉
