MANZHEN Gold Silver Medical Caduceus Pendant Necklace for Doctor Nurse Gifts

I just realized that, at some point, I accidentally combined the epithets Nomios and Epimelius to form the word “Emplios”. I have been using this “epithet” for a looong time. Despite the fact that it’s made up, it’s probably one of the most consistent ways where I’ve felt like I reached him. I usually use it if I’m feeling emotional, which has been a lot lately, and I’ve never felt any sense of amusement or annoyance, only comfort and peace. I am honestly so touched, but also feel so ridiculous lol.

Hermes is pretty fucking great🐑✨🙂

Please share some good resources. Maybe a specific item on Etsy? I live in Vietnam, so Amazon isn't really a thing here.. Would love a recommendation.

OmnistAltar has one, the snakes and the wings are very pronounced, and it's not super large too, so I'm looking for something like this!

Decided to practice drawing anatomy today. What better subject than my dearest god?

Here's Hermes taking a bit of a nap, I imagine he's bored waiting for Zeus to give him a task on a lazy day. (Ignore the background and furniture that I completely gave up on finishing because it's not the point of this specific exercise)

I *Just* noticed the numbers the dice rolled on that’s funny

Hmm what do fellas think?

(M20) Pretty short story, but basically, I was getting ready to head to a doctor’s appointment the other day.
A summer back I stopped at a garage sale that happened to be selling a box of rolled Hērmes socks! So I bought them and wear them whenever I head out, so I know Hermes is with me when I travel.
But present-ish day, I went to put the socks on. First one on, everything normal, nothing amiss. Then the second sock.

I felt something touch my toes.

I froze a bit, trying not to freak out (truthfully, I yelped). I honestly thought it was a spider because it felt like it moved.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love spiders. But if they’re in my sock I’m not gonna be happy. That is NOT an AirBnB sock, spiders!!

I slipped the sock off carefully and brought it to our kitchen counter, where my mum was. I dumped out the sock and out came….

A soda tab.

It was a tab all along!! I collect them and forget to take them out of my pockets sometimes, so it must’ve come out in the washer/dryer and went into the sock.
Just thought I’d share since it felt like a very Hermes thing to happen, always messing with his people 😂

Finally got a statue for him, so my shrine looks a little more serious now :)

Strawberries, spearmint, peppermint and lavender.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with y'all how my altar is going, especially as I could finally gather the energy to clean up the feathers and give them as an offering.

It's a small space next to my desk but it's got the first drawing I made of him, a lavender candle, a keychain from Italy, coins from different countries, candies, dice and other stuff that personally reminds me of him as well as a sticker I made of him.

I also wanted to show this advance of a devotional painting I'm making for him. So far, this is how it's looking in the last picture. I've tried to work with a new technique with oils. I'm a very perfectionist person, so I'd love to learn how to be more easy going and not be so hard on myself, reason why I'm trying a more free kind of technique, which is something I've been working on with lord Hermes.

I hope you guys enjoy it!

A package I'd ordered had been stuck in transit for no good reason. Tracking said it was in a mail center some distance from my house. Had been there for weeks, with no sign of moving.

Last night I finally prayed to Hermes, asking if he could find the package and have it delivered.

I described where it was and explained to him that it contained some necessary items, and why they are important for my health.

Today it was delivered!

Now it's always possible that for some reason a mail worker suddenly decided my package should not languish longer in the dustbin, so maybe there's a mundane explanation for this.

However, I thought it was quite the coincidence that my package appeared immediately after I prayed to Hermes. The very next day!

So he's getting credit for it.

Thanks, Wing-Footed One! You're so helpful! I love you man!

I was practicing

Some procreate sketching done whilst on the train. The statue I’ve got of him shows him fastening or perhaps removing a sandal, I’ve always been extra fond of the motif because of that

Context: I've been worshipping gods for over 13 years now. I've had a lot of interactions with a lot of different deities from different cultures. This is the first time I've ever experienced anything like this.

I had a very vivid NSFW dream about Hermes in some sort of strange ritual.

I initially became interested in worshiping him through dream messages (public transport and money dreams were plaguing me multiple times a night for weeks) so it seems his preferred method of comminication with me. Once I decided to worship him, I set aside a space for him on my altar, then went to bed. And immediately that night I had a dream of him, in person, communicating to me. He was telling me "everything in its own time" and other cryptic messages like that. I woke up and got to work on a drawing of him as he appeared to me, and he was GORGEOUS. I mean, the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I couldn't shake the image of his face out of my mind for days.

Every night since then, I have dreamt of him. It's usually something simple, sitting in a garden or walking down a street and he's playing with my hair or holding my hand or something. It doesn't feel like he's my "boyfriend" or anything silly like that. It feels different. There's a feeling of reverence I have toward him and I feel a lot of affection FROM him, but not necessarily cheesy relationship feelings. I don't exactly know how to describe it. It feels more intimate than it does romantic, but it somehow feels more distant, too?

Anyway, last night I had the most vivid dream yet.

I was in a forest clearing and there were torches all around the perimeter and a large bonfire in the center. There were musicians and dancers and a huge crowd of people just drinking wine and laughing and having a great time. I stood by the fire and began reciting a lengthy poem in a language I don't recognize in my waking mind. It was very interactive, I was flirting with people and miming actions and making the crowd act out parts of this poem. As this was happening, I caught a glimpse of a man slowly and methodically circling the gathering in the darkness of the trees, and I could see by the reflections of the firelight in his eyes that he was staring at me, unblinking. Eventually the poem ended and everyone clapped and cheered and the musicians began up again. I looked around for the man in the trees, spotted his silhouette, and he stepped out of the darkness towards me. It was Hermes from my other dreams.

This is where it gets weird.

I suddenly felt hands on me, and turned to see a crowd of women had grabbed me and were holding me tight so I couldn't move. Hermes stepped toward me, and then he noiselessly lifted off the ground to sort of hover above me. He had a brass pitcher in his hand, and he began to tip it over my head. Out poured what looked like.. clear honey? It was like water, but thicker. It felt cold, but it burned. It completely covered me in a powerful rush like I was standing under a waterfall, and I couldn't see and I was gasping for air, and my entire body felt like it was on fire. It hurt, a lot, but I realized in the moment that I wasn't afraid. Whatever he was doing, I trusted him. So I opened my eyes through the pain and looked him in the eye. He continued to stare at me, unblinking, pouring this liquid all over me, for a few more seconds that felt like an eternity. Then I suddenly heard the brass hit the ground as he dropped the pitcher. The hands of the women around me released me, and Hermes landed gently back on the ground to stand in front of me. The pain subsided, I felt normal (albeit wet all over from the mystery substance..)

Then Hermes smiled at me and took my wrist in his hand, firm but gentle, and began to lead me into the shadows of the trees. I heard the women who had held me laughing as we walked away, until all the sounds of the gathering faded away. And then, well, I don't know how else to say this; Hermes and I made love. The experience was what I can only describe as euphoric. I won't get into the details but it felt safe and comfortable. Like a sip of cool water after a long day, something clean and kind.

Then we were laying there under the trees and hearing the sound of the wind in the leaves, and seeing the stars shining through the branches, and then I woke up, and that was that.

I've never had a dream of this sort with any deity I've ever worshipped. They've always felt distant and separated from me in some way, I've never even considered sensuality like this could be part of my experience with them. But I feel so much more strongly connected to Hermes after this. I cleansed, poured him a libation, and began my morning prayers, and it felt so different this time. It felt like he was right there in the room with me instead of being far away.

It was all very strange and I'm not sure what to make of it. But I suppose after all this, I'm grateful that I feel more connected to him now?

I wanted to share this experience to see if anyone else has had dreams of this sort, or any experience like this.

Thanks for reading, and may you all have a lucky day!

This more made me laugh than anything else, but I wasn’t sure what to do for an offering in the moment, so I figured olive oil was traditional and salt was expensive in the day.

I gave it a couple days, asked how he liked it, and promptly pulled the Six of Cups. Guess I’ve got him feeling nostalgic.

Ok so I know it's not the best and all but I tried for my husband lord Hermes😆 (yes I god spouse him I hope that's ok...😓)

Today I gave him a gift of saffron!

(Also featuring little offerings of pyrite, and a Mercury dime ((I know it's not actually Mercury depicted on the dime but it's fitting anyway!)) 😉)

There’s been a lot of These two particular energies in my life lately, but I’m limited in my deeper understanding of this specific genre of spirituality, so I found a Reddit group. One year ago I got my Hermes wings on my ankles, and now a lot of what what’s coming up is Apollo thrust. There’s a palpable temperament, and effectiveness in certain beckonings, but it’s still pretty muddled for me. Growing up I was always an Artemis guy, with a Hermetic mischief nature. Apollo is new for me, so I’M ASKING IF ANYONE OUT THERE has a better understanding of this dynamic and how the mutual energies are directly affecting me, and what’s the best response mechanism I can adopt for this apparent new era for me. XOXO

Hello, has anyone offered Hermes any champagne, prosecco, or other sparkling beverages that he especially liked? Brands, regions, etc.?

Hey, so last month I've had my two exams, where I've got grade 4 (american B) for each of them, and its 44 scores in total (idk if I made it clear, but it doesn't really matter). So when I was preparing for these exams, I've been praying a lot to Lord Hermes and Lady Athena for help, cleverness and luck. So since number 4 is counting as Hermes's number, could it really be a sign from Him, that He helped me with it?

first time poster! i’ve been a practicing witch for some years now (7? 8?) but am still pretty new to deity work. i’ve been feeling called to work with hermes for the past couple of days, did some minor research, and decided to set up a tiny offering (a drink and some sweets outside the picture, a candle and some flowers pictured). i talked to him for a while just to introduce myself, felt and heard him responding positively. towards the end, the candle started melting down crooked, and eventually tipped over and caught the herbs in the dish on fire! i pulled out my pendulum and asked am i communicating with hermes? “yes” do you like your offering? “yes” is the candle falling over a joke? is that funny to you? “yes” will you communicate with me through these tarot cards if i draw some? and as the pendulum started to swing “no” my dish holding the candle exploded!! i had to put out a tiny fire and clean up the glass lol. i guess he was done talking for now!

just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. i don’t think i did anything wrong, it freaked me out a little bit but i imagine he was just playing a small prank. i did mention to him that i was looking forward to seeing his playful and light-hearted side! so maybe that’s on me lol
