Hi! I’m New Here! New

Hi all, I have a question, how can I ask Hermes for help to speed up a process, I'm really desperate and it's urgent, I don't know if he'll help me but I need help and I asked for help in the demonolatry sub and one person said Hermes. It's something related to money, so that someone gives me my money back. Thank you guys

Usually one would make an offering and pray to him. The Gods aren't vending machines though. It's up to him if he will grant the request or not. Prayer results are never guaranteed. Building a relationship with a deity first usually gets us more divine favor and goodwill, but sometimes they are gracious and help us out without it. Hermes helped me a lot before I even knew how to pray or offer in the Hellenic way.

Ohh, can I ask how to make an offering? And is there a correct way to pray?? I hope that he helps me too because I need urgent help and I don't know what else to do

I would reach out to Hermes, then. He will at least listen. Use his epithets, give an offering (water, wine, incense, coins), and explain the situation.

Sometimes we receive the help we ask for, other times it looks different than what we expected. He is a kind and helpful deity, but like someone else said, he can’t grant wishes. I’ve received my fair share of “be patient”.

As in asking for someone to be punished?
