HOW TO WORK WITH THE GREEK GOD HERMES - DEITY WORK

[@dogemanthing]

Warning to cat owners, the pollen from lilies is highly deadly to cats! If you're working with Hermes and own cats, please avoid offering him real lilies inside your home or anywhere where your cat may potentially be.

[@FordMrson]

What cats have to do with hermes? Hermes is a god messenger one who travels between dimensions he is the god of creativity, trade, he who makes company the souls when the departure to the underworld and many many more but he is not a cat owner and he has nothing to do with cats.

[@Ravensmasterpiece]

​@FordMrson they were talking about the pollen Lillie's give off the pollen can harm cats if you own any

[@diahannmc6948]

If you want to add some planetary correspondences I highly recommend: Rainbow or holographic fabric for the base of the altar. I would also include rainbow candles like the birthday kind. Mood rings because they carry the sacred metal of mercury. Cutie tangerines and blueberry muffins. Full moon and new moon water in virgo. And I would also have the caduceus. And if you want to put snakes on the altar that would also work. If you can't have an altar set up. I would leave an offering at a four way crossroads. Be well and thanks for your information.

[@Alice-mv9pj]

Hermes has been pretty straight forward when reaching out to me... He had never been that direct before. I love him dearly.

[@FordMrson]

Out of curiosity what signs did you have and you think it's hermes?

[@instagamrr]

Loving your new setup! Anubis and that bust of Apollo 😍 Fun fact: When Hermes invented the lyre, it had 4 strings (according to some myths). Once he gave it to Apollo, Apollo changed it to 7 strings. Hermes was born 4 days after the new moon, and Apollo was born 7 days after the new moon - those are both their special numbers :) (Source: The Oracles of Apollo: Practical Ancient Greek Divination for Today. Excellent book, I highly recommend it!)

[@heddathulin1777]

In my experience he also likes coins, sweets, honey, hare imagery and amethyst 😊😊

[@Chakitaonethreefive2]

I have a really weird story about him lol. So before I started working with him I had never knew much about him before. I had a dream about a female goddess. Who was mermaid like. She told me I needed to get lepidolite. And handed the stone to me and put it in my hand. When I asked who she was she laughed. And told me to just get the stone. I woke up and immediately starting to Do research all along with the help of someone who did heavy divination found out it was him Being a smart ass. Lol he was trying to reach out to work with me. He also really wanted me to get that stone because it has a lot Of Properties to Help me with my mental stability and health lol.

[@shadowalchemist9774]

I would like to challenge the belief that he is not a God of medicine, he is the God followed in hermetic alchemy and mysticism which laid the foundation for chemistry, modern medicine, herbalism, etc. So he may not be the God of medicine but I do believe he is a God of medicine and his staff is used purposefully all over the world in this way

[@clericgaming8379]

actually that's a misconception what is used to semblance medicine is called The Staff of Aesculapius, Heremes carries a caduceus

[@scarykayhost_incubo2274]

I would like to point out that's not his staff. Aesculapious had a similar one and he is the god of medicine. Recently pharmacies started using the caduceus, but the original symbol had just one snake (and it wasn't a snake, but a parasite that can be removed from the leg using a wood staff)

[@kill3r-qu33n5]

My Hermes altar is like 90% various turtle statues that I find when I travel I like to think of it as a two in one offering (turtles because of the imagery and buying said turtle on a trip) I want to say the alter is up to 8 various turtles. My favorite being a Striped Agate / Sunstone carved turtle purchased a state over during a ren faire. Everytime I go thrifting and see a small turtle statue I just have to get it for his altar.

[@chuusama2217]

My 'calling' with Hermes came straight after Hades told me he isn't the one I should work with through Tarot. I think he just adopted me.

[@alexisbachorowsmi4407]

I was writing him a letter and I started to smell a really pretty smell. I thought maybe lemon balm. My heart dropped when you said people smell frankincense

[@TheLunarWitch]

Thank you all so much for watching! You guys are amazing and I really hope you enjoy this video! Blessed be!

[@JazzyJ96771]

likewise! Thanks for being so consistent

[@Gaming_God990]

But lunar witch but isn't he the god of speed as well

[@MikeLehikoinen]

Hermes is the patron diety for Canadian Forces Signals personnel! Affectionately nicknamed Jimmy.

[@TheLunarWitch]

Thats amazing! Tell me about your experience with Hermes if you dont mind I am genuinely curious!

[@MikeLehikoinen]

@@TheLunarWitch no personal connection during my service, but we always honoured him in the field with offerings of coffee, tea and some part of our meal. He was also the official symbol on our cap badges and dress uniforms. Here's the image en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_and_Electronics_Branch

[@TheLunarWitch]

@@MikeLehikoinen oh wow! Well even so that's really amazing! Thank you for sharing my friend I really appreciate it!

[@3peppermints]

I love Hermes so much. Bestie has saved my ass so many times while traveling. He loves candles in my experience. I associate him with gold and green because of his money and luck association. And eagles/hawks loosely. I place the magician and fool tarot card on my altar for him. I also offer lotto tickets, foreign money.

[@3peppermints]

I've made him homemade banana bread and I think he liked it?? I should have confirmed 😭

[@angeltperez5612]

Werk. Hermes is my patron and a lot of stuff he does like I can confirm from my own upg. He wants his own altar cause he shares it with my ancestors and another deity so it is cluttered but until that's an option for me to do that he has to share unfortunately but I do try to keep the altar as clean as possible. Thank you for this video Lunar Witch

[@TheLunarWitch]

Absolutely and thank you for your feedback my friend! Blessed be!

[@TheOvenCoven108]

Thank you! All the signs make sense now reflecting to past dreams and offerings in drawn to giving, wow

[@samjohnsaints]

I knew he was calling my attention when, in three separate meditation sessions, I saw his caduceus, the astrological sign for Mercury, and then his winged sandals. I came to this channel right away to see if we had a video on how to work with Hermes - I wasn't disappointed! hahaha Thanks for this!

[@lemmetellyouwhythatsbullsh2050]

In a dream I was waiting on a train and instead of the train this bright yellow flash came and I saw somebody in the flash and i just felt this immense energy and instantly woke up. I cant say 100% it was hermes but man what an energy that was!

[@arlynneeblin3576]

I'm new to your channel and have enjoyed a handful of your videos so far. Hermes was the first deity to reach out to me. He asked me for an offering of oranges and rosemary recently, but with the precise instructions to dry the oranges first and then to tie the rosemary to them and hang them like ornaments (on his side of my altar). Fruit flies seem to like the paint I used for my altar table and they have been all over Aphrodite's side and avoided Hermes' side. So I asked what I could do... I now scatter or keep bundles of pungent herbs such as the lavender (which I have now) along my altar areas to ward off any flies. Hermes seems to know a lot lol. I am about to make a peppermint wash to use for my altar specifically...I might make a lavender one too --flies tend to avoid those pungent herbs such as rosemary, basil, peppermint, lavender, to name a few. Both Hermes and Aphrodite seem to enjoy the rosemary, peppermint, and lavender herbs (those are the two who share an altar...Apollo and Artemis share the other one which has a stone top and the flies don't o near that.)

[@oxo119]

I have been preying to Hermes, writing preyers, lighting candles and giving him offerings, on two different occasions after preying to him the blue chime candles both went missing from my alter, I know it was him who took them, they would have still been alight when they were taken, he sometimes also extinguishes the incense stick before it’s finished burning. I asked my tarot cards who took my candles and I got the judgement card which has a angle with wings on its head looking down and flying (in my deck. I’m currently still waiting for my request but he told me it involves a huge shift which he’s working on. He seems very nice.

[@strawb3rrypi352]

[@creamarey]

this is one thing that I’ve been wondering about for ages! I’m new to deity work but I’ve been practising for years and I haven’t found any advices or videos on this. Amazing suggestion 💕

[@DavidLaneFox]

I think covering the reasons to work with a deity would be beneficial to future videos. There is a lot here for correspondences, items, totems, but not really what the purpose of interaction would be. Note, I am taking into consideration the fact that much of the information was gathered second hand.

11:52 Well, I have a garden and I plant white lilies there. And I got a month or two ago a new one from my mom, which was a bit weird because the bulb was added as a bonus to her order, which wasn't even flowers from what I know. And I was like, okay, fine, I'll put it into ground and it'll probably grow in the next year, because thats what's supposed to happen and what actualy happend when I plant my first two lilies. Nope. From just one bulb had grown two separate lilies and they are blooming now. And literally a day after they fully bloomed, here I am learning about working with Hermes. At least I have lilies in my garden now, not for long probably, because it's kinda cold and I'm surprised that they even growed. I'll take it as a little sign

[@thehorrorfiend23]

Can you please do a deity video on Pan? I’m having a very hard time finding resources on him for offerings and the like

[@nerissacrawford8017]

Actually, Hellsing Ultimate > Alucard uses the phrase 'I am the bird of Hermes, eating my wings to make me tame.' to release his full power. My favourite Anime! The most gaping example of Hermes trying to talk to me. Just something I thought about. It does make sense to me. And I think he left it where I am basically guaranteed to see it as I devour such stuff!

They once put my head on a historic statue of Hermis, made it myself. Owner of the buildings name is nearly Apollo, and the building almost like his temple complex, but juxtaposition of things. I did rase the whole Buffalo Bills team up a down escalator shortly after this, and it looks as though the gods original may of fallen while I was a guest in D.C. fir an art show, even visited Hermis dome there in the national gallery, and went on top the postal tower. The statue I fixed also stairs at a postal tower, and I myself may be getting a post office to open in my complex. Lot more to what I've seen magic do, and I didn't even really touch on magic yet. Was given instructions on how to use it by what i call the angel of smoke, or Tom. fear magic a bit recently, but as odd as it sounds, after I failed to save that cat from the mouth of that pit bull, and may car blew up after, the magic Tylor swift set me up for has expired, I should think. I was playing with magic trees, then she rolled on in and fixed my car, should have known better.

I 100% can tell you Hermes loves misplacing my things😂 but now idk if it’s Loki or Hermes or both😂☠️

[@ellaksabe722]

As a blood Greek, I do not believe the word Deviant is appropriate to describe Hermes. Also. Frankincense or offerings for all Greek gods, so smelling that would not necessarily be a sign of hernies. Pan is also a trickster god. Hermes is actually a psyopomp and hangs out with Hekate. He is also a god of commerce. Both Hermes and Hekate have the ability to cross the veil.

[@callmebyyourunusannus9558]

I have one small frustration with trying figure out the signs of hermes Misplaced things and Dreams So A) I have adhd and am MAD forgetful B) I am a HUGE fan of the pjo series so if they ever appear I kinda assume that it's just excitement about the new show ALSOO C) I don't know what frankensen's or murr smells like Any advice

[@everythingcoffee8901]

Well it’s all about deviation from the baseline. If you usually forget things, forgetting a thing or two isn’t a sign, but if you’re forgetting things even more than normal that might be a sign. Similarly, if you’re repeatedly having dreams about deities more than normal it could be a sign- especially if it’s just one deity who’s appearing a lot.

[@danniantagonist]

Frankincense is widely available. It's my favourite incense stick, it's a rich and sweet smell 💖💖

[@ConsciousEntrepeneur]

Please reference classical sources where he is known as trickster. Hermes son of the king of the Olympians and the Pleyadian Maia was born to be extremely clever. As a “baby” able to get cattle that happens to be from his half brother Apollo, and erase his traces, establishes sacrifice to the Olympians and returns to his cradle. This is very different to trick humans for the sake of self entertainment. Also, Hermes is the only God that has access to all realms, including death and he also has a role as psychopompus. In many stories he helps humans in many ways, he frees goddess Io (turned a heifer at that moment) from Argos, Hera’s all seeing guardian. Slays him and escorts Io out of Greece while she continues her journey to finally arrive in Egypt when she is restored to her original form.

[@SPD8585]

First of all, Hermes is not greek god, greeks stealing it from the much older culture. His real name is Hermes Trismegistus and this is a title as IsUs (Jesus) he is also called Thoth Atlant, the Egyptians gave him god's grace. He is the only proven living person that was worshipped as a god, god Thoth, from the Egyptians. He was living on the land that is today's Bulgaria, he is not a Greek as he was living back in 8000 b.c. at the coast of today's Black Sea. Greeks came far later from North Africa. You can see his esoteric knowledge into the ancient Varna Culture, few thousand years later in Sumer and Egypt

Ehhhhhhhh its a hit or miss. Also depends on your beliefs. If you plan on worshipping deities, I wouldnt exactly wear the cross. For example I wear Anubis' Ankh because he is my patron deity, but it doesnt interfere with me working with other deities. The christian cross would mainly keep you working with the christian god and angels that deal with christianity.
