So Lord Hermes helped me out with a spell a little bit ago and I've owed him an offering since then

And the other night I had a dream where he was basically like "hey yo, you still owe me btw."

And I was like "I know! i just haven't seen anything I thought you'd like you're so hard to shop for"

And he's like "Y'know I'm a pretty simple guy. I don't need much"

Me: but I don't wanna just get you anything, I wanna be sure it's something you actually like

Hermes: why don't I just tell you what I want

Me: okay yes please

Hermes: These should be pretty easy to find the company still makes them

Me: *prepared for some super obscure thing like a acacia wood wand*

Hermes: these things

Me: wh... oh

Hermes: I want 4. Or a whole bag haha

Me: ... is that it?

Hermes: oh hm.... 2 bags ✌️

Me: ok.

A friend had asked me why I have a picture of a train on Aphrodite's altar.

"Shouldn't that be on Hermes' altar?"

I looked at them and said,

"How am I supposed to convey I want to get railed without it being explicit?"

She gave me a look and we both laughed so hard.

I enjoy our candle conversations, and I've been learning and he's been so patient and a great listener :'D
