Olá tudo bem?
Estou em busca de mais conhecimento sobre Hermes, como cultuar, as diferenças entre os epitetos (o que outras culturas chamam de qualidade ou caminho) e como faço as oferendas, pode me ajudar?
Khaire philos!
Hermes, o Senhor dos viajantes, mensageiro olimpiano e amabilíssimo argicida é uma das divindades mais interessantes de se cultuar. Seu domínio é o acaso, a sorte, o movimento e a comunicação. Como patrono da tradução, este blog em si é dedicado a ele junto a Hefesto!
Felizmente contamos com um post sobre ele caso não tenha visto. No mais, podemos listar outros detalhes importantes.
Algumas ideias de oferendas: Moedas deixadas em encruzilhadas de quatro pontas (4 é o número associado a Hermes, por ele ter nascido no quarto dia lunar), libações de leite, mel ou vinho também são aceitáveis, assim como incensos múltiplos, como o olíbano (chamado também de franquincenso/incenso de igreja).
Tu pode também se aprofundar na leitura de seu mito de nascimento, nossos amigos do Helenos tem seu hino inteiro traduzido, felizmente. Clique aqui para ler a respeito.
E quanto à diferença entre os epítetos, podemos destacar alguns: Hermes é descrito como philandros, ou seja, amigo das pessoas, o que evoca seu caráter auxiliador junto ao epíteto kharidotes, "doador de graças". Em contrapartida, vemos o poder do Deus de trapacear e sua astúcia sempre afiada expressa nos epítetos mekhaniotes (enganador) e argeiphontos (assassino de Argos, o gigante de cem olhos), o célere Hermes é sempre descrito como um deus esperto e ligeiro em seus caminhos, cheio de lábia e sabedoria afiada. Outro aspecto evidenciado são seus epítetos ctônicos, khtonios (da terra/do Mundo Inferior) e psychopompos (guia das almas), que abordam sua função como a divindade que leva os espíritos ao além. Hermes é ainda descrito como Ennodios, ou seja, dos caminhos, representando seu domínio de transitar entre todos os reinos, no altivo Olimpo ou no tenebroso Submundo igualmente.
Hermes é uma das divindades mais acessíveis e diversas no Panteão. Esperamos que pouco a pouco possa ir se aprofundando neste vínculo com ele. Paz a ti, philos!

"The Whole Town." From Mark 1: 29-34.
Now we know why Jesus manifested: to get people to cut it out. Life is for the living, it is a place where man gets to enjoy the fulfillment of his own purposes, after he accepts the Holy Ghost.
In spite of this, there was collateral damage left behind by the practice of religion and also the non-practice of religion by the Roman state. The response of the God of Israel to this is not healing as the Book of Mark says when it is so literally translated.
We start with a very suspicious thing in a Judaic text: A pronoun.
The passage begins with a reference to they. They means "the Hague", the pure growth from an old stem; this is very curiously associated with the mission of the Christ on earth:
"The Hebrews and Greeks placed so much stock in their puns that they elevated it to a dazzling art form, and stored easily as much information in the pun-layer of their texts as in the proper narration. This pun-layer, which is rather alike a fractalic crystal, cannot be transferred into translations, because of which a huge part of the Biblical message is lost, as if hit by a stroke.
To somewhat counteract that sad injustice, here follows a look at the etymological neighborhood and poetic associations of the important words αγιος (hagios) and αγνος (hagnos), holiness and pure. For their occurrence in the New Testament, see further below.
The amazing words αγιος (hagios) and αγνος (hagnos), generally translated with "holy" or "pure", stem from the same hugely old root that also resulted in the Sanskrit word yajati (to worship) and the Old Persian word ayadana (temple). But what that root may have originally reflected is not immediately clear.
It probably did not have to do with a formal declaration of sanctity, because that would be part of a more modern religious or cultural devotion (see the adjective ιερος, hieros, meaning sacred, or οσιος, hosios, holy in a lawful sense). Instead, our words probably come from something much more fundamental and natural, something that spontaneously crossed the considerations of hunter-gatherers across vast territories, long before artificial cultural symbols such as deities had manifested."
To heal wounds fostered by a religious practice, one we don't want to destroy only codify, is done by nurturing old good wood. This explains why Jesus and his new converts went to the house Simon "reputable" and Andrew, "the house of the friends of the man-stealing husband":
The noun ανηρ (aner) refers to a human male individual or husband. Its genitive form is the familiar word ανδρος (andros), which means "of (a) man" or "manly."
"Verb ανδριζω (andrizo) means to behave manly (i.e. maturely or courageously). Noun ανδραποδιστης (andrapodistes), means man-stealer, and noun ανδροφονος (androphonos), meaning manslayer. Adjective υπανδρος (hupandros), meaning "under a husband," i.e. married. The adjective φιλανδρος (philandros), means friendly toward men or husband(s)."
Jesus Heals Many
29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.
33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
Simon's mother-in-law had a fever and was bed-ridden meaning she was worried about the future of her gay son and his live in husband. The mother-in-law in such a unity would be the Jewish one. She began to wait, hoping for a conversion. This means she anticipated the onset of Shabbos in her son's mixed marriage household. This is typical, apparently.
The text says Jesus took her hand, meaning He took fate into His own, and read from the Torah. The whole town, meaning every aspect of the Self was covered during the reading, and this cured many wrong assumptions about the role of Jewish life in Roman times. For the ones who were left, that is.
The Values in Gematria are:
v. 29: As soon as they left, they went to the House. The Number is 7719, זזאט, zazat, "you are a step in the secret evolutionary code that is moving through humanity in a cyclic way, the agents for restoring humanity's faith in its fundamental truth."
"It's not clear why the Hebrew language would need a particle like that, but its persistent presence opens the door to the suggestion that the Hebrew texts we call the Old Testament are not primarily representations of a spoken human language but rather a kind of literary code from which spoken language ultimately derived.
Some theorists have suggested that spoken language developed with the help of pictures, and folks trying to discuss these pictures and needing new words and inflections to do so (like stone-age Bible studies).
On the evolutionary scale, classical Hebrew obviously sits between pictorial texts (pictures and hieroglyphs) that have nothing to do with spoken language, and the kind of text you are reading now (modern English), which tries to closely resemble speech.
Judging from its extant derivatives, unused verb זוז (zwz) appears to have described a cyclic or tidal "ebb and flow" motion. Noun זיז (ziz) denotes roving things such as certain animals, which obviously move about their territory in circles, depending on the season. Noun מזוזה (mezuza) denotes a "place or agent" of the parental verb's cyclic motion, and refers to a door- or gate-post (and of course humans' frequent return to some fundamental truth)."
v. 30-31: He went to her and helped her up. All Jesus wanted to do was help Israel get back on her feet. Look at all the foolishness we have done. Simon and Andrew were apparently come kind of David and Jonathan we never recounted, they were Discipled and witnessed miracles they were the perfect couple. The Number is 12219, יבבאט , yevbat, "You were waiting, whimpering and whining."
Jesus did His best to free Israel from Rome. We know He did. Rome would not let it go, and the Jewish people were not able or unwilling to stand beside Him, not all of them so the Messiah did not take place.
v. 32: That evening after sunset the people brought the sick. Jesus had many, many Jewish followers that agreed with what He had to say about the Torah and being Jewish. The Number is 4551, דההא , the daha, "He led with His Hand, He pulled the snakes out." To revive Judaism and instate the Shabbat and an insurrection against Rome, Jesus came and lived and told His own story.
"The verb הדה (hada) is thought to mean to stretch out one's hand or to lead with one's hand. A comparable verb occurs in Arabic (meaning to lead or guide), but our Hebrew verb occurs a mere one time in the Bible, namely in Isaiah 11:8, where a young child is foretold to be able to stretch out the hand upon a viper's den without coming to harm.
Since reaching out is a fairly common activity, one would expect a verb that simply means to reach to occur more often, and since it doesn't it seems likely that it means something quite specialized.
Here at Abarim Publications we surmise that that this verb instead tells of extracting a snake from its den or shelter in order to remove it and keep it from harming passers-by. In Mark 16:18, Jesus tells of the signs that will accompany those who have believed: "In My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Hence we surmise that our verb means: to manually extract snakes from their burrows. And since this verb is the root of the Hebrew name for India, we might even go as far as to suggest that our verb means to snake-charm (which was an art certainly familiar to the Israelites: see Psalm 58:4-5)."
It was Christ's goal to start Eden all over again. He was not able to do it, as for why not we will see later.
v. 33: The whole town gathered. He would not let the demons speak. The Number is 14824, ידחבד , yadhavad, "God's Committee."
During an accurate Kabbalah, all the questions about what the weerd werds in the Torah are explained, all definitions make sense, and one knows exactly how to proceed. Jesus fast tracked people to Shabbat because food, beverage, weddings, families, and the contacts were what they needed if they were going to outlive Rome. This concept and the diplomacy needed to make it happen are all covered in the Torah, but they are the very special focus of the Gospels.
Demons will try to undermine the former, no matter how beneficial they might be. No matter how well the right ways are illuminated in a scripture or a church, devil worshipping demons will still try to satisfy their temptations. Jesus was firm during His entire ministry what was to be done about this, but no one listened. Now His Name is being used to accomplish great evil in the eyes of the Lord. Persons who are involved with any of this gravening of God's Image must be punished.

The mother of police shooting victim Philando Castile recently donated $8,000 to a Minnesota high school to erase student lunch debts.
The gift comes amid reignited national conversations over unpaid lunch bills in public schools and how the consequences affect kids whose families struggle financially.
Valerie Castile gave Cooper High School in New Hope, Minnesota, $8,000 last month to address the school’s unpaid lunch bills.
She presented the donation on behalf of a foundation she created in honor of her son, Philando Castile, a black 32-year-old who was a beloved cafeteria supervisor in Minnesota. He was killed in July 2016 during a traffic stop in St. Anthony, Minnesota. The police officer who shot him was acquitted, but the city later paid a $3 million settlement to his family amid protests enflamed by a viral video taken by Castile’s girlfriend as he was dying.
The Robbinsdale Area Schools, which includes Cooper High, said in a statement last month that the donation from the Philando Castile Relief Foundation, created with the family’s settlement, reduced the school’s lunch debt by covering unpaid balances for about 100 seniors enrolled in a program that provides free and reduced-priced meals at the school. Some of those students may have had a balance accrue before qualifying for the program, the statement added.
“The impact of this donation will reach many students and allow families to focus on celebrating the seniors’ upcoming graduation,” Robbinsdale Area Schools nutrition director Adele Lillie said in a statement.
Valerie Castile told NPR that the donation was made in honor of her son, who “understood that the children are the future leaders of this country.”
