Temple of Athena the Savior

Doing a novena in honor of Hermes right now. Today’s devotional activity was to write a hymn and to post it. ❤ Hail Hermes!

O Hermes Logios

God of language 

Of learning 

Eloquence 

I compose these humble words in Your honor. 

We forget in this modern age why it is

That the Word was regarded 

By our ancestors as Magic

A Sacred Power.

Whether spoken or written 

The Word contains the power to shape reality. 

In an age when few could read 

The storyteller 

The myth maker

The wisdom keeper 

Contained the memory of the people. 

O Hermes, born of Zeus and Maia, 

Companion of Man and Lover of Nymphs,

Surely You are a fair friend in times of trouble!

Bless me with wisdom,

And the right words to sway and soothe and sell 

To bring others to see my side of things 

To shape reality to my Will

To bring forth beautiful things in honor of the Gods of Olympos, 

To find the right combination of syllables to lift pain from the hurting,

And bring comfort and joy to the listless. 

Thank You for Your Presence in my life,

Great God of all.
