hermes,
the trickster with winged shoes,
wouldn’t we all like to be a god?

he is playful,
a thief,
a guide.

he is beautiful,
with a sharp tongue and a quick wit,
he loves his disciples.

he is sunshine on river rocks,
he is flowers in the winter,
he is the brightening laugh on your worst day.

songs are not sung for him,
for no reason.

this is a god,
who loves.

mighty messenger,
the most trusted of all the olympians,
So worthy is he to carry their secrets.

there is so much,
that we can learn from,
a light-haired god of the dark.

trickster god; l.m. (via apoeticmythos)

What do people think of Hermes as a god of dumpster diving? I mean…I connect him with commerce but also free stuff- and luck, which you need- and getting a little dirty…so to me, it fits, but he’s also my favorite go to guy so I might be biased

genitallhermes:

hermes || god of transitions & boundaries, king of thieves, protector of travelers, trickster.

“He is quick and cunning, and moved freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine, as emissary and messenger of the gods, intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife. He is the protector and patron of travelers, herdsmen, thieves, orators and wit, literature and poets, athletics and sports, invention and trade. In some myths, he is a trickster, and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or the sake of humankind.”
