In the previous ritual,Iunfortunately exploded from an excess ofmana, andI was determined to avoida repeat of this experience in Kari-biri.I found myselfpaying -orperhaps, sacrificing - the excess mana to (termes . Hermes, one of the 12 Olympians, the god who ; upon being born, immediately stole cattle from Apollo, the honest god, the trickstergod, the herald of Zeus. First, I didmy research. Hermes isn't a bad deity for me, if I were to choose one. He's most known as the messenger of the gods with his winged sandals, and as the god of boundaries, commerce, and travel. However, his domain expands far beyond this brand. Hermes rules over all communications and language . He's known to have a silver tongue. He's the god of tricksters and thieves . Hermes is even associated with divination magic and magicalphilosophy . The more I read about Hermes, the more I see him in the path I currently travel.I am a messenger , a traveler ,I connect groups ofpeople and take a leading role in communication ofall forms.Iam known for my eloquence and my writings . Even my fighting style as a duelist seems to reflect Hermeslight on my feet, flitting around the edges of battle and entering whereIam needed to draw away some of the heat.I do not consider myself a trickster , nor a thief , nor a trader, but the fact remains:Iam well within Hermes's domain . I have never worshipped or followed a deity . As such,Ifind myself struggling with my careless sacrifice and what it may mean for my path.I am aware that Hermes is unlikely to care either way, but Ifindmyself at a crossroads created by my own choices, and I feel thatImust make a choice to move forward . . Find no meaning in my sacrifice andmove forward asI was before. This doesn't have to change anything if I don't wish it to . Accept Hermes as my patron and follow his path. Acknowledge his domain, seek his protections , and open a door in my life to a higher power . I have meditated on this choice, talked to others about their own worship, researchedandcategorized , and I have made my decision. Hello, Hermes. I believe we'll get along splendidly .
