The Greek god Hermes, known as Mercury in Rome, is the messenger god between the gods of Olympus and mortals. Son of Jupiter and Maia, Hermes – Mercury personifies eloquence and cunning, protector of travelers, and patron of merchants. A psychopomp god, he guided the souls of the deceased on their journey to the afterlife.

Hermes is often depicted as a youth with wings on his heels or sandals, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding the caduceus in one hand, a staff with two entwined serpents symbolizing the harmony of opposites and duality, as one who traverses between two worlds, the divine and the earthly.

This multifaceted god was invoked by those seeking protection in their travels and business. His agile and versatile energy is reflected in the wings on his feet or boots, representing the swiftness of the wind that conveys the messages of the gods swiftly throughout the cosmos. Hermes stands as the intermediary god between the two worlds, establishing a bridge between gods and mortals.
