Mercury/Hermes

[Surya]

So, I feel strongly that this is where I’m supposed to learn about, and that it would benefit (forgive my arrogance) us if come to a better understanding of these planetary energiers.

 

But I think it would be more proper to ask you what these things about, instead of me writing a borderline scizho essay.

 

Appreciate you.

A bit of synchronicity here as I was thinking of starting a thread on Hermes/ Mercury, Thoth and Woden.  As these gods were thought of in antiquity as being equivalent.

Even more synchronicity, I was about to throw Odin and Toth into the mix as well, but was a little a out of my depth. But Odin is the god of the runes (magic/mysteries), a shamanic figure (his name means divine/inspired fury or something along those lines) and is the god of the berserkers/werewolfes and kings. The amount of European nobles that thraced their lineage to Odin during medival times, is countless.

 

He also has two brothers, Villi and Ve (Will and the sacred/temple), so perhaps there is som alchemy going on here. 
 

Yet another curiousity, I’ve recently developed a great friendship with a pilgrim and archeologist named Bård. If you look in to the etymology of that word, it is the same as boundary and to bind (as in binding the ingroup together). That bind and boundary are so closely related, seems paradoxical to quite a few, I think. It once did for me, as well.  But now it makes perfect sense: a nation without a border is not a nation. 
 

Ofc, if you have eyes to see and hears to hear, everyone is welcome. But if there are werewolves running around I’ll lock my door… I’ll make an exception for Proffesor Lupin tho. If he has taken is elixir, that is.

Someone said - I can’t remember who , that all magic is either binding or unbinding spells.  Your Bard / boundary would fit with this.

 

Odin is an interesting god - his original name meant something like king of the frenzy or perhaps inspiration.

Ahhhh .... one of  my 'patrons'   .   I have written many posts here on the benefits  and necessity of 'having'  Mercury  .  For a Magician , Mercury is of prime importance . 

 

Let's  dive into the deep end first    

 

 

 

 Majesty of the Godhead, Wisdom-crowned Thoth, Lord of the Gates of the Universe: Thee, Thee we invoke!

O Thou of the Ibis head: Thee, Thee we invoke!

Thou who wieldest the Wand of Double Power: Thee, Thee we invoke!

Thou who bearest in Thy left hand the Rose and Cross of Light and Life: Thee, Thee we invoke!

O Thou whose head is as an Emerald, and Thy Nemyss as the night sky-blue! Thou whose skin is of flaming orange, as though it burned in a furnace: Thee, Thee we invoke!

Behold, I am yesterday, to-day, and the brother of The Morrow! I am born again and again. Mine is the unseen force from which the Gods are sprung; that giveth life unto the dwellers in the watch-towers of the Universe.

I am the charioteer of the East, Lord of the Past and the Future. I see by mine own inward light; Lord of Resurrection, who cometh forth from the dusk, and whose birth is from the House of Death.

O ye two divine hawks upon your pinnacles, who keep watch over the Universe! Ye who company the bier unto the House of Rest. Ye who pilot the Ship of Ra, ever advancing onwards unto the heights of Heaven!

Lord of the Shrine which standeth in the centre of the Earth!

Behold He is in me and I in Him!

Mine is the radiance in which Ptah floateth over his firmament.

I travel upon high.

I tread upon the firmament of Nu.

I raise a flashing flame with the lightning of mine eye, ever rushing forward in the splendour of the daily glorified Ra, giving my life to the dwellers of Earth.

If I say “come up upon the mountains,”

The Celestial waters shall flow at my word;

For I am Ra incarnate,

Khephra created in the flesh!

I am the image of my Father Tmu, Lord of the City of the Sun!

The God who commands is in my mouth;

The God of Wisdom is in my heart:

My tongue is the sanctuary of Truth:

And a God sitteth upon my lips!

My word is accomplished each day, and the desire of my heart realises itself, like that of Ptah when he creates his works.

I am Eternal; therefore everything acts according to my designs, and everything obeys my words.

Therefore I say unto Thee: come forth unto me from thine abode in the Silence, unutterable Wisdom, All-light, All-power! Thoth, Hermes, Mercury, Odin, by whatever name I call Thee, Thou art still un-named and nameless to Eternity! Come thou forth, I say, and aid and guard me in this Work of Art.

Thou, Star of the East that didst conduct the Magi! Thou art the same, all present in Heaven and in Hell. Thou that vibratest betwixt the Light and the Darkness. Rising, descending; changing ever, yet ever the same!

The Sun in Thy Father!

Thy Mother the Moon!

The Wind hath borne Thee in its bosom!

And Earth hath nourished the changeless Godhead of Thy Youth.

Come Thou forth, I say, come Thou forth

And make all spirits subject unto me!

So that every spirit of the firmament,

And of the Ether,

Of the Earth,

And under the Earth,

On dry land,

And in the Water,

Of whirling Air,

And of rushing Fire,

And every spell and scourge of God, may be obedient unto Me!
