Hermes: Greek God, Trickster and Messenger to the Gods
Hermes was the Ancient Greek god of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. He is known as the trickster of the Greek pantheon, and most recognisable is his position as the Messenger to the Gods… well, mostly the messenger for Zeus. Along with being very clever and mischievous, Hermes is credited with the invention of the lyre although he is not the god associated with music!
Hermes was a trickster since his first day of life when he stole Apollo's sacred cows, and then sacrificed two of them to the gods! As the herald of the gods, Hermes became associated with crossing boundaries with his movements between the realm of the gods and the world of mortals. The Caduceus, a staff with two serpents twisted around it, is a symbol of Hermes and his association with the crossing of boundaries and the transitions from this life to the afterlife.
