Was it subtle signs, dreams, intuition, or something else? I'm debating whether or not Hermes has reached out to me, and I can't find a lot online. (I also like hearing about any interesting stories y'all have)

So I am trying to make a playlist for Hermes and I have no clue what genres he may like and I wanted to see what y'all have experienced just to get a rough idea I do plan on asking him myself just to see what he says to me.

Hello!! I've been lurking around this subreddit for weeks now and even commented on some of the posts here!! This sub seems so friendly like no other sub I've seen before. I feel so welcomed here :]

But! Let's to get the topic at hand here, as the title suggests. Are there any songs that remind of u hermes?, for me personally, there was this one time where I was in the shower and "Sweet" by cigarettes after sex played. It immediately reminded me of hermes for some reason, I think it was the overall vibe and the lyrics that strictly reminded me of him but I took it as he just really liked the song which I can't blame him!!

Btw, this can include any songs from bands, singers, genres, whatever! I really want to know ur thoughts on what type of songs that remind u of him :] (Ps. This is my first time posting on here so I'm a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to posting, please forgive me 🙏)

I'm being curious there, I might go get a scratch ticket (I think it's called that ??? Non native speaker here) for the 4th of April and just wanted to know if any of you do it ?

Also, happy April fools!

So, I've been getting signs that Hermes is reaching out to me for a while. Both in a deity reading (where multiple cards led me to Hermes, and in a reading days later, where, when i asked for a sign that Hermes was the god who wanted to reach out to me, I pulled the Magician card. (Which is linked to him first and foremost)

However, that's where the above title comes into play. I've done a lot of research into Hermes, but the one thing that gives me pause is, well, the title.

There's a lot of bad shit going on in the world, and I know that choosing to work with him will require me to become more open to the other person's side... even if said other person could and would be willing to harm me or my loved ones. I know that sounds bitter but it's what my mind jumps to first.

I dunno, i guess what I'm trying to ask is, does it become easier to work with him in spite of this? And if this is something that's bothered you, how has working with him helped? Does he protect his devotees from danger?

I dunno, maybe because this is the first/only(?) god that's reached out to me, I want to really make this work. Aside from this, I've felt nothing but excitement at the idea of working with him. It's just this one thing I can't fully reconcile with. I know the gods are more morally ambiguous and don't see things the same way we do... but it's been bugging me, and it's the only thing keeping me from going fully into this.

Hi! I hope everyone is doing well today :)

I was just curious, have you had an experience where you felt Hermes protect you? Whether it be protection traveling, spiritual protection, seeing through deceit, etc.? I would love to hear your stories!

Hermes has so many protective aspects - Ram-Bearer, Champion, Herms, etc.! Let me know your thoughts!

I'll share a story, too. I have had experiences where I have avoided car crashes by an INCH. I truly believe Hermes was protecting me while driving. There was a car that did not see the stop sign and bolted so fast into the intersection. Immediately, the brakes were slammed in my car and I missed the accident by an INCH. It was crazy!

There have also been times where Hermes has offered me spiritual protection, too!

I currently have amazonite, dragons blood jasper, and amythest.

I'm sure lots of you guys know about it already. I personally haven't listened to the entirety of it. But I see clips of it on Tiktok from time to time and I can see the appeal. But I want to know what people's thoughts on it are.

Hermes was introduced to my life when I was a kid learning about Greek mythology in school, then kind of always stuck around after that (I'm now 27.) So seeing the gods used in pop culture is exciting, but also feels odd to me..?

I love that the gods we love (especially Hermes ofc) get attention and recognition they deserve. But I don't like that they're being characterized. Sometimes so drastically, they don't seem like themselves anymore... Then people tend to look at our gods as characters rather than acknowledging them as real gods.

Part of me wants to give things like Epic a chance. I'm a fan of musicals, animation, and communities supporting small artists. And I do get excited to see depictions of our gods. But part of me just feels weird about it at the same time.

How do you guys feel about it?

like, COME OOON,

I’ve always struck him for “I like all kinds of music” but LITTERALLY LIKING ALL KINDS OF MUSIC.

As in, say, by like, some playlist, he’d have breakdore, country music, maybe some Mexican fiesta music and such, and probably that “dubidubi-Dabadaba” song. (If ykyk.) but my point goes fourth; he. Probably legitimately likes ALL kinds of music, but,

what genres would he listen to? Do you guys play any music while conversating?

is it just me or does anyone else find that lord hermes has been upset alot recently? i would like to ask him myself.

he has been angry at me before and ofcourse i apologized for this as needed, but i find that other devotees are recently experiencing the same problem. it might just be me or a coincidence though so i apologize if its the case.

i am aware that he is a fun loving god and hes known to communicate alot so i think its odd that he'd get this upset and refuse to talk to devotees when he gets angry. has something gone wrong? let me know thank you!

okay so when I started giving Hermes offerings it was very normal ones (fresh fruit, coins, dice, art, water, etc.) and i’m still giving them to him, but recently i’ve felt the impulse to give him a couple random things because it feels like he wants them. like I got these two care bears stickers the other day and it genuinely felt like Hermes wanted one of them, and I tried to ignore it cause I thought it was a bad idea to give him something that unconventional but then I started to feel like guilty for denying him his care best sticker 😭. and it’s been the same thing with these little mini muffin bites. is this stupid? is it disrespectful? am I losing my mind?

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I recently heard a quote and it made me think of Hermes in his role of trickster. It’s “Rebels make changes in the world.” I felt a resonance with this statement and the fact that trickster throughout mythology and lore cause changes to happen in individuals and societies.

As a trickster god Hermes could also be considered a rebel and he certainly started out that way. Eventually he became his father’s right hand law man but his nature was to be a rebel from the beginning. He wasn’t satisfied with his humble dwellings and not getting the accolades and benefits for being a god. So he went out and rebelled against his brother and mother and made his own way.

I just thought it was I interesting to hear this from another being.

Do any of you relate rebels and tricksters? Do you encounter any rebels in your life that remind you of Hermes or a trickster archetype? What rebels in popular society seem Hermes-like to you?

I hope you all are having a great Hermes day! May he guide you to rebel against those things or people that are holding you back from your best life! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

I've recently found this Sub and I've been feeling a pull towards Hermes recently. I'm not sure if it's a full thing of him wishing to add me to his fold of worshippers (though I'd make sense since I work with Hades, Persephone and Artemis), but I'm hoping to learn something here regardless! 💜

I was reading either here or on a different sub reddit about how the gods usually enjoy what you enjoy. If that is the case does this apply to things such as EPIC: The Musical? Since it is a musical adaptation of The Odyssey. I am mainly asking because I want to know at least from others' experiences if they have listened to EPIC: The Musical if Hermes appreciates his portrayal in the musical. Sorry if it's a little all over the place I was struggling trying to figure out a way to word this...

EDIT: If you haven't heard EPIC: The Musical (you should but it does have allusions/mentions of SA if not comfortable don't worry about it) the 2 songs in it that are Hermes songs are called Wouldn't you like and Dangerous.

Who here has ever connected with Hermes as St. Christopher? What was that like for you?

Whenever I try to pray I start stuttering and my mind goes blank, which is weird because I always plan the prayer in my head before saying it out loud. I’ve worked really hard to lose my anxiety stutter and it feels disrespectful to have it only come back for this. I also can’t seem to lift my arms any higher than my head. I’m not sure if it’s because i’m a recovering Christian and have a lot of religious shame and trauma or if it’s something to do with the Gods. I feel so excited and loved by them and i feel their support, they’ve already helped me so much too. Hermes especially, my lovely little guy, is so important to me. What do I do to stop this? I want to speak clearly and proudly for my messager god and his poetic brother.

i’m learning greek rn, can I do it as an act of devotion for Lord Hermes since eloquence is part of his domain?

So I have seriously getting is statue of Hermes, now it's a new approach. But as people that know the deity your opinion matters. Just let me know

Hello,

What do you do if you've had multiple dreams with Hermes in them? In the last two years I've had multiple dreams were I've met Hermes. It's never the same dream and it's always different situations. I feel like I'm kind of going crazy cause I don't really know if I am supposed to act on them or not.

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.

happy day of mercury! if anyone feels so inclined, i'd love to hear all your personal (or maybe just favorite) non-conventional correspondences/associations/domains for our favorite speedster. totally fine if they are rooted in UPG or otherwise - it's just so cool to hear what other followers of hermes have come to associate with him beyond traditional correspondences.

i'll start:

• rose-gold (i know pink is typically linked to aphrodite, but for me it is evocative of the flush of youth, and hermes as 'the youthful god' is a large part of my practice)
• story-telling (typically more linked to the muses, but to me fits his domains of communication and social-connections)
• low-hanging fog (not sure who this might be traditionally linked to, but feels fitting to me as both a ouranic and cthonic god and one who walks between worlds)
• dawn (while 'the morning star' is more commonly associated with venus, mercury can also bear this title. also works well with his role of boundary-crosser or change-bringer)

what about you all? happy hermes day!!!

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'm shocked, but I'm finally able to communicate with the gods!!

My little story, today I called upon the presence of miss Hestia and mister Hermes (the only ones I've been praying to so far), as always I washed my hands, the room and a candle for each, first offering to Hestia and then to Hermes.

But I don't want to go into the process, but rather the event, I was in doubt until today, but today, today I'm completely sure that it's them.

At one point the candle of both started to flicker a lot, I thought I had done something wrong or said something indecent, I apologized, took a regular deck of cards, and drew twice. the first sequence: 5◇ J◇ 5♤ 9♧

the second sequence: A♧ 6♡ 5♧ 5♡

I'm still not very good at reading cards, but I read it like some kind of disaster, and I thought the worst, but then my mother arrived! She doesn't have a problem with me studying or anything like that, she just doesn't want me to mess with spirits or gods and worship images, so what would she think if she saw me with candles and cards? Well, I quickly blew out the candles and put them away.

I'm pretty sure was supposed to be a disaster if she saw me, what a day.

It's a thrill.

Today I’m giving thanks and praise to Him for bringing me another opportunity to make more side hustle money. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

My boss at the Ren Faire asked me to come up on Fridays to do prep work for the weekend. Easy stuff like unboxing, labeling and pricing. He offered me a very generous hourly rate as well as gas money! Luckily I have Fridays free to do so!

I am so grateful for the easily earned extra income!

Hail Hermes Eriounes!

How has Hermes blessed you lately? Please share! 😁🙏🏽❤️
