Swift Luck-bringer

He of the lucky coins,

He of the serendipitous blessings,

He of the joyous fortunes,

May I continue to find balance in even the most tumultuous of moments,

May I continue to seek the good to overcome the bad,

May I continue to prosper even in my darkest hours.

Whenever we see a cow...

Cow: *literally just existing* Me and Hermes pointing at it at the same time: c o w Bonus Hermes: This reminds me about the time I achieved godhood by stealing Apollo's cattle. Me: Hermes, no, this is the 7th time- Hermes: See, it all started when I was just a mere infant child in a cave-

First Interaction with Hermes

(using a coinflip to determine answers, heads = yes, tails = no)

Me: Uh...should I be afraid of you...?

Hermes: *serious* Yes.

Me: *nervous* Wait, what- really?

Hermes: Haha, no! *laughs*

Me: *realizing I have been pranked by god*

Πανδαματωρ - Pandamator, all-vanquisher, all-subduer, all-tamer

"Days pull you down just like a sinking ship, Floating is getting harder, But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile, Rises the moon.

Days pull you up just like a daffodil, Uprooted from its garden, They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so, Rises the moon.

You'll be visited by sleep, I promise you that soon the autumn comes, To steal away each dream you keep, Breathe, breathe, breathe."

- rises the moon, Liana Flores

A comfort post because today was rough and I cried several times today but Sleep is always there to carry me down to his domain as I rest my heavy head upon my pillow so that I may receive relieving respite from life's pains.

Hypnos's lullaby would definitely be "rises the moon" though, it suits him...

(He's also a big fan of hot chocolate.)

Prayer to Hermes

Hermes,

Pompaios,

Guide for all,

As I hold out a hand for you,

I hope you will take it,

And together in good grace,

Walk along the strange, winding road ahead. Going through life,

Is not as frightening when done with a friend,

And I feel confident in saying,

You are my friend,

Keep my heart calm,

Grant me equanimity in the face of tumultuous storms,

Be my guide, friend and fellow traveler.

A Poem in Honour of Hermes

In misty meadows,

A shepherd walks,

Surrounded by sheep,

In despaired need,

Past mellow mountains,

And melancholic fields,

A newcomer joins,

Downy and grey,

In his arms,

A little lamb,

In his arms,

A lonely lamb,

In his arms,

A lovely lamb,

Much thanks to,

Merciful, patient pompaios.

I’m not a fan of whatever this is referencing (not familiar with the series,) but like the quote and aesthetic a lot. SO… I’m re-posting. 😁
