Hi, maybe this is a stupid question but could you consider a magpie as an animal that represents Hermes? As magpies are from the crow family and thus are intelligent and sneaky birds and have an eye for shiny stuff

asphodel-grimoire-deactivated20:

never a stupid question!

and although i don’t think of magpies specifically that often, ur reasoning for associating that with him is on point

fun fact: magpies are historically associated with dionysus/bacchus, and are symbols of prophecy, so they can also be associated with apollon (like other corvids are)

ALSO MAGPIES ARE HEAVILY ASSOCIATED WITH THIEVERY IN EUROPE WHOOP THERE IT IS
