I'm a Hermes devotee of course i don't know how to drive

[starfacenix]

I have had so many unexplainable other worldly supernatural/paranormal experiences regarding entities, demons, gods etc but the most damning thing to me, somehow, will always be the fact that the first time I prayed to a god that actually listens, I cried inexplicably.

That will always stick with me forever.

Dedicating any Emails I have to write to Hermes because it makes me feel less nervous when sending them >>>>

Digital Offering for Lord Hermes, Bringer of Luck; Great God of Thieves, Travelers, Luck, and Language.

Well, gentlemen, I'd love to continue this but Hermes has made my package come in pristine condition and earlier than expected once again and I must go shower him with kisses until he can't breathe properly

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.

Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

May Hermes guide those fleeing war, abuse, domestic violence, and any other horrible situation to places of safety and refuge.

May Apollo help with the healing that follows.

[apollophanes]

I've seen this saying being passed around a few times. Not sure where it is from, but I love it:

If you don't know who to pray to, then pray to Hermes. Even if he cannot help you, he knows someone who can.

This post took longer to make than I thought, but it's finally done🕯🍷🍂 If you know any myths about deities associated with different fruits or any fruits that are linked to deities, feel free to share them in the comments so I can add them too :D

wdym tumblr isn't a little diary for me to talk about my practice and my deities 🙄

[starfacenix]

Helping others speak with their deities has opened me up to finally feeling what certain gods can feel like as friends or parents. The energy, warmth, love, is all so different than what I feel when they’re working with me. I love it.

Nothing feels better than listening to music and studying by Hermes' altar, especially when I'm studying different countries! Its got to be one of my favorite devotional acts at the moment!

[abyss-king444]

After almost two years of being a pagan/polytheist, I feel like I’ve been going too slow. Like before I was on here as often as I am now, I was just giving offerings and Libations with a couple of prayers here and there. Now, after again almost 2 years of doing this I’m actually like communicating with Athena and Hermes. Before I was just squeamish and scared to like talk to them. Now it’s almost like a reflex. When I leave the house, I see a small prayer of Hermes. When I open up my online textbook to study or finish homework or do anything academic, I access the end of to sit with me as I read. When I do something luck based (mostly gambling on roblox lol) I ask Hermes to spare me a little bit of luck. When I try new experience or feel even a little bit scared, I ask Athena for a little bit of courage.

Now that I’m looking at it and actually typing it out it sounds like I was just missing the little things. Forgetting that those little things make up the big things.

Anyway, I’m done rambling. I just been at work alone a lot and thinking.
