If you’ve ever fired off a flurry of texts or dashed off a clever email, you might owe a quiet nod to Hermes 
. This quick-witted Greek god
, son of Zeus 
, is the ultimate messenger — zipping between mortals and deities
, delivering insight, wit, and warning. A trickster at heart
(think of him like the Greek cousin to Loki), Hermes is also the divine protector of travelers
, thieves
, athletes
, and those forever on the move. If he had a smartphone, he’d probably be live-tweeting from Olympus 
.












But don’t let the winged sandals fool you
— Hermes holds deep wisdom too. As a guide between worlds 
, he’s the one who helps souls transition from this life to the next 
. This gives him a powerful role as a god of change and movement
, especially during moments of uncertainty or transformation.






He’s often shown wearing winged sandals 
, a winged cap
, and carrying a caduceus — the famous staff entwined with serpents 
. When life feels like it’s shifting beneath your feet, Hermes is a divine companion worth calling on.





TRY THIS:
If you’re standing at the crossroads of something new 
, or feeling like the universe is whispering but you can’t quite catch the message
— pause. Light a candle
, place a feather on your altar
, and call to Hermes. Ask for clarity
. Ask for movement. Write him a note
, leave it in a shoe
, or whisper it into the wind
. He hears more than you think.
