What ever possibly made you think Diogenes? I always used to blast the Nietzscheans about Hermes relation to Dionysius and Apollo, and worked in a Hermes store for a year. Ive read deeply into the evolution of the god from babylonia to his divisions Thoth, Mercury, and Hermes… his combination, and then his evolution through the gnostics to the present. I also done alot of research on his babylonian precedents influencing the meditative practices of Platonic as well as Hindu systems. Plus, I study psychology all the bloody fucking time.
Hermes wasnt just a god of trickster, but also the inventor of measurements, stealing, cunning in warfare, as wellas of literature and wisdom and music. He’s traditionally a air sign (I was airborne infantry) and has strong ties to Aquarius… which I am, and is also the most represenative of my personality to boot. Add to this hes the saint of travelers, and revered by cynics. My clothing tends to be like his… broad brimmed hat, cloak (I wear the functional equivelent) shoes and no pants.
Fuck…I should be Hermes. All walker has over me is being a hermaphodite.
