Ancient Invocation to Hermes (PGM VII. 727-39, adapted)
"Hail, Hermes, celestial traveler,
Who walks between the worlds unseen!
Grant me wisdom to perceive the hidden,
Open the doors that are closed,
And reveal the mysteries that lie beyond sight.
By your name, O swift-winged one,
By your staff which moves the heavens,
I call upon you, guide of souls,
Illuminate my path with divine knowledge
Greek god of communication, travel, and knowledge,
