Just a quick reminder~

Not all polytheists consider themselves as pagans, and not all pagans consider themselves polytheists. The two terms aren't universally interchangeable.

(Some people use the terms interchangeably for themselves because the terms are heavily intertwined for them. This is not the case for everyone.)

Hermes, the Olympian divinity, messenger of the gods, the "psychopomp" ("soul guide") - a conductor of souls into the afterlife (Hades). Also known as "the divine trickster".

Homer, "Odyssey" (10. 135 ff) : "I was met by golden-wanded Hermes; he seemed a youth in the lovely spring of life, with the first down upon his lip."

Apuleius, "The Golden Ass" (10. 30 ff) : "A radiant boy appeared, naked except for a youth's cloak draped over his left shoulder; his blonde hair made him the cynosure of all eyes. Tiny wings of gold were projecting from his locks, in which they had been fastened symmetrically on both sides. The herald's staff and the wand which he carried identified him as Mercurius [Hermes]."

The beautiful ancient Hellenic title font (Athenais) is derived from an inscription from the age of Herodes Atticus, found in Athens.

Hello, Claudia!

ASK GAME:

🙃 What’s a weird fact that you know?

Sharks have 2 claspers which is their version of a penis.

🌴 Desert island item?

I have no survival skills, so I honestly wouldn't know what would be best to bring. Maybe a good knife?

🤎 What color is your hair?

My hair is naturally a copper brown, but I dye it black.

Thanks for the asks!

hermes of the airport. hermes of the red-eye flight. hermes of the coffee sipped so quick that it burns your tongue, of the energy drink downed at the gate. hermes of the rattling suitcase wheels as you rush to catch a flight and the heady rush when you just barely make it.
