Blessings of Hermes

About this ebook
This book was written over a twenty day period during the month of May. Every day I would wake up and write to Hermes. It was a life-changing experience. This is a book of poetry but it is also at its heart a book of prayers. If you are pagan, polytheist, or just a fan of Hermes you might be interested in this one author's experience of the Great God of Divine Messages.

Muses, speak through me as I tell of Hermes son of Maia of the Pleiades
Hermes of the lion, of the sheep, your mother bore you on Mount Kyllene
Baby Hermes you are all stealth
With little curls and grasping fingers
You crawl out of your mother’s cave and head for sheep
Steal the sheep, little Hermes, hide them away. Keep the dogs silent
Little friend who makes the lyre
Nurtured by the Horai
The seasons bless you
With spring flowers, good pastures, and well-ordered time
Eirene, Dike, Eunomia
Tickle your belly with finger tips, and under your feet
Your mother looks on, smiling, she of the golden star
Sneak out, little baby
Round you go
To Iris, Aphrodite, and the nymphs
Each in turn
Took you up
And held you to her breast
From there you drank
From all the lovely goddesses
Learning the art of stealing
Pandora, built by gods, given gifts
You especially, found delight in her making
You gave her keenness, bright intelligence, cunning
And loved her as you love the race of man
Never did you call for her subjection
But it is man’s curse to want to hurt her
Until they learn from you
Dearest Hermes
The clever art of loving without hate
You are father to Angelia, Eleusis, Hermaphroditos and Pan
Palaistra, Priapos, the Satyroi and Panes
The Oreiades call you father, their mother the Nymphai
You are lion, goat, sheep and dog
You are father to Abderos, Aithalides, Arabos and Bounos
Daphnis, Autolykos, Ekhion and Keryx
Euandros, Eurestes, Eudoros and Kaikos
Kephalos, Eurytos and Libys
Kydon, Myrtilos, Orion and Pharis
Phaunos, Polybos, Norax and Saon
You loved the goddesses Aphrodite, Brimo, Daeira and Peitho
Persephone, Hecate and Pipituna
You loved the nymphs Kermentis, Nymphe, Okyrrhoe, Oreiades
Penelopeia, Rhene, Sose and Tanagra
You loved the women Aglauros, Alkidamea, Antianeira and Akalle
Thronia, Theoboule and Polymele
Erytheia, Apemosyne, Aptale and Clytie
Chthonophyle, Eupolemia, Creusa and Iphthime
Khione, Khthonophyle, Libye and Phylodameia and lay with them
You loved the men Amphion, Crocus and Perseus and lay with them
The Thriai of Mount Parnassus
With heads of women and bodies of bees
To worship the Thriai is to worship you
They teach the art of prophecy
— day
Hermes of the Golden Blade
Argeiphontes
With you
My troubles are at rest
Like the hundred-eyed Argos
The tilt of your magic
Two snakes entwined
With you
I turn ill wind to luck
As Hermaphroditos
Sings of joy
And stands ready
To give aid
So his father, kindly Hermes
Friend of us
And Sweet Aphrodite
Lovely beyond understanding
Friend of us
Gives us joy
Blesses our homes
Calls our names
To join
In sacred rites
Hermes, God of Wonder
Races through the internet
At home inside the web
Of mind
And machine
Hermes God of Magic
From fools
Alchemists
