Hermes from the Mythos Astrologia Deck

Imagine yourself walking briskly, trying to keep up with your companion’s winged strides. Listen to Hermes’ quick and snappy quips: 

📍 What do you need to hear right now?

📍 What are you struggling to say?

📍 Who’s got your tongue all tied up?

📍 What are you trying to achieve with your words?

15 days of deity devotion - day 5, mercury

day 5: names and epithets

in my research, epithets for mercury were SO HARD to find. this is what i've got, but take them all with a grain of salt. a lot of his epithets had to do with him being syncretized with gods from other cultures. some of the epithets i had were in italian, not latin, and i had to do some translations and guessing.

Aeternus: eternal

Augustus: majestic

Artaios: celtic epithet, a derivative of the Gaulish word artos meaning bear; i.e. something ursine

Avernus: the entrance to hell, related to him being a psychopomp? also the lake at the center of a dormant volcano near Naples

Bonus: good

Cissonius: celtic epithet, Celtic (Gaulish?) god of travelers

Coelestis: heavenly

Consentiens: consent but as in agreement

Conservator: keeper, preserver, defender

Custus: cost, related to his associations with money and commerce

Esibraeus: iberian epithet

Fatalis: of fate, destined, also see: fatal

Felix: lucky

Finitimus: stranger, related to him being god of travelers 

Invictus: unconquerable 

Lucri conservator: something that has to do with profit, again his association with money

Moccu: curiosity

Mundinator (Depuratore): purifier (called upon for cleansing)

Negotiator: negotiator, related to communication and commerce

Potens (Potente): powerful

Reducens: reduce, when working as the protector of merchants

Repertor: repertoire

Sanctus: sanctuary, related to god of travelers n stuff

Alright, I'm back and doing better after recent events. And making a comeback to the picture also means showing off our boy Hermes Mercury for Drawing 9. I must say this, but Steampunk Hermes was way more popular than I first realized. I had to ensure I didn't accidentally copy someone else without realizing it, resulting in me going back to make changes. Other than ancient statues and art and Disney's Hermes concept art being the inspiration, I took inspiration from 1820s postmen art depictions. Hermes is in his business and casual suit since he's only running around in a jacket if it's freezing. For his character, he is married but doesn't have a wedding ring. The reason is the origin story of the Roman household god twins, the Lares, regarding their mother, Larunda.

To summarize that story, Larunda is not on Jupiter's good side because he's not a good guy, resulting in Hermes and Larunda going on a crazy Rom-Com road trip. I read different versions of the myth, but in this story, Hermes and Larunda eloped and had twins. All this made Jupiter Zeus angry, and he didn't want to view the marriage as official as the other gods and goddesses do, becoming that Just No FIL. And now Hermes Mercury is being overworked to be on his father's good side.

Anyway, that is out of the way. This may not be his final design, but I'll keep him like this for now. Next, the original mean girl, Aphrodite Venus!

The Gods are nature

Jupiter is the rain that waters your plants and soothes you with its sound as you sleep. He's also the great storms and power that rain has and we must address through climate change care

Minerva is wisdom. You find her when learning something new about anything on the internet; when your elders teach you an old recipe or a way to do a craft; when you study for an exam and pass; She's also there when you struggle with your studies or can't wrap your head around a topic.

Mercury is there when you buy or sell something; when you find a new gig that allows you to get through the week; when you finally have enough for that thing you wanted. He's also there when you struggle with finances and when you help a friend in need.

Mercury is there when you study a new language; when you can't quite comprehend grammar classes; when you crack a joke; when you travel or go on a road trip, the whole road there is Mercury

The gods are always all around us, they are these things we interact with everyday

I have never been an athletic gymbro track student whatever a day of my goddamn life and yet I have always been strong as fuck.

Not fast, or coordinated, or fit, or with good endurance, just super dense muscle for no reason.

Like. My WHOLE life.

People used to try and pick me up as a toddler only to drop me cause I was unexpectedly heavy. At summer camp I could pick up ten-foot logs and carry them around on my shoulder while other kids needed a partner to help them. I can lift my 195lb brother off the ground. I can lift my 200lb father off the ground. I don't have a car so when I buy new furniture I often carry it home myself.

And I am NOT IN SHAPE. I can sprint, but im a terrible runner. I can't do push ups. Or burpees. It takes me like 50 minutes to run a 5k. I'm very lazy and spend most of my free time reading, painting, or thrift shopping.

But in anticipation of surgery I have begun lifting weights and yall. YALL. MY BICEPS CAME BACK IN A WEEK

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WENT FULL BEAST MODE
