@jeanluc#WSW Cab auffem Radweg, #Hermes. auffem abgesenkten Bordstein und nem taktilen Element mit Warnblinker an (=Vorsatz) - was macht eigentlich das OA der Stadt @wuppertal so den ganzen Tag Herr @uweschneidewind ?#wuppertal#asozial
At the end of it, I know that the projects I do take on – be they jars of herbs or small rituals, necklaces made of certain stones or clothes woven just so – are few and far between. If I light a candle and say a few words, they are more likely to be a prayer than an incantation. Surely that’s not Witchcraft.
🌟 Celebrating the Birthdays of the Gods 🌟
In ancient Egypt, the final five days of the year were celebrated as the Birthdays of five of their major deities: Osiris, Horus, Seth, Isis and Nephthys.
"Magic radios? Russian Telegram channels rave about “magic” Russian-made #Hermes anti-interference communication kit for controlling #drones and how it is a completely Russian development. Let’s have a closer look at this marvel of Russian engineering."
Spart die Paketzustellung an Packstationen CO2-Emissionen ein?
Sie verstopfen die Straßen und tanken oft noch Diesel: Paketdienste stehen wegen ihrer Klimabilanz in der Kritik. Durch Packstationen soll CO2 eingespart werden. Aber geht die Rechnung auf? Von Christof Dörr.

"They say he [#Hermes] was responsible for profit and an overseer of the businesses: consequently they set up the statue of him weighing a purse."

It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
For #AllHallows, have a relief of #Hermes in his role as #psychopomp. Hermes guides the souls of the dead to the underworld. Here, he takes the hand of a dead woman named Myrrhine on the way down to Hades.

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡
A late #DayOfZeus entry today because I didn't manage to post before work:
It's the birth of #Athena: The tiny goddess jumps from #Zeus' head in full armour!
On the left, #Hermes and a rare bearded #Apollon watch the scene. On the right, an unknown goddess and #Ares look on.

It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
#Mosaic of #Hermes-Mercurius, easily recognisable by the wings on his head, representing the planet Mercury or the fourth day of the ancient Roman week, diēs Mercuriī (Wednesday).

@antiquidons#Astronomy and calendars are the domain of #Hermes. His grandfather Atlas turns the heavenly constellations and his mother Maia is one of the starry Pleiades.
Atlas instructed him in astronomy and the Greek mythographer Euhemeros says that #Aphrodite first established the constellations and taught Hermes. The planet #Mercury is attributed to Hermes because he first established the months and perceived the courses of the constellations.
#Hermes looks up at the sky as he ascends from the underworld. The constellation Virgo greets him with shining stars. It will be another 420 years before it's the lion marking summer's end. Hermes pulls his cloak tighter and leaps into the chilly air. Autumn is here.
