[letters-to-hermes]

welcome to my little blog ~ here's a quick re-introduction 🌿🏛

about me: i'm astrid, 24 years old, a bisexual mess, & from germany. i'm a hellenic polytheist & hermes devotee (for ~11 years now).

i post about: everything related to hellenic polytheism & greek mythology, witchcraft, nature, the ocean, self-love + acceptance.

how old is this blog: i started this blog in october 2020. but i had another really active hellenic polytheism blog from 2014-16.

i don't have time for: intolerant people. this blog is a safe space for everyone - regardless of their sexuality, gender, faith, nationality or race.

Do not say Aphrodite isn't with you. Tell me, little Dove, who puts you to motion? Who is the one who closes your eyes when you blink? Who is the one who moves your hand and foot? Who is the one who beats your hearts? Who is the one who moves your thoughts? Who is the one who moves the sun up the sky and down into the void? Who is the one who puts everything to motion? Who is the animator of all things, if not the Great Goddess, Our Mother, The Queen of Heaven and Lady of Doves? Who, if not Aphrodite?

I told two of my friends tonight that sometimes I dream of Hermes and those dreams are always my favorite ones. And one of my friends (who's Christian) goes: "Maybe that is God who is visiting you."

Me: "...No, I'd like to think it's Hermes."

Him: "Well, God probably knows that you like Hermes so much and that's why he's appearing as Hermes in your dreams."

..... what?

and to the lovely-haired demeter, i sing! bountiful goddess, i seek to know the  wheat-touched fingers of your ever giving hands. teach me of the golden warmth of survival, holy dirt beneath  my fingernails, oh goddess of the  earth — show me how you stand  in every season and never bend your lovely brow —
