@@ziizification According to wikipedia, 62% of professional healthcare organizations in the US correctly use the Rod of Asklepios, while 72% of the commercial healthcare organizations (health insurance and all) use the Caduceus. The quote Wikipedia uses is also pretty cool: "As god of the high-road and the market-place Hermes was perhaps above all else the patron of commerce and the fat purse: as a corollary, he was the special protector of the traveling salesman. As spokesman for the gods, he not only brought peace on earth (occasionally even the peace of death), but his silver-tongued eloquence could always make the worse appear the better cause. From this latter point of view, would not his symbol be suitable for certain Congressmen, all medical quacks, book agents and purveyors of vacuum cleaners, rather than for the straight-thinking, straight-speaking therapeutist? As conductor of the dead to their subterranean abode, his emblem would seem more appropriate on a hearse than on a physician's car." - Stuart L.

Loki seems to be a spin-off of Odin's trickster god persona (Odin had a lot of divine functions on his plate), and Loki fulfills the role of the increasingly malevolent trickster. It should be noted that Loki's schemes rarely went as well as Hermes'. Loki in the myths usually had the antagonistic trickster god function of complicating everything, even when he was working for the benefit of the Aesir, on a few occasions simply because he was drunk. He frequently outsmarted himself and was expected to clean up his messes in hilariously humiliating ways, with escalating consequences as he tried to spin events to his own benefit, usually unsuccessfully. This is why he, at various times, had his lips sewn shut, his testicles tied to a goat, was impregnated by a jotun's stallion (giving birth to an eight-legged horse), and was threatened by Thor with grievous bodily harm on multiple occasions. Things turned really bad when he caused the death of Baldur and prevented his resurrection and Odin had officially had enough of his shit, the consequences of which finalized Loki's face-heel turn. Odin's trickster attributes would probably have been viewed as more heroic (like when he seduced a giantess to steal the mead of poetry) and thus more in line with how Hermes was seen. He also spent a lot of time walking the earth in Gandalf cosplay.

@manmoy4104

As there are no written records of Loki outside of Scandinavia in the post-Christianized era, it's possible that Germanic peoples outside of Scandinavia probably never worshipped him. Versions of Odin and Freya sporadically pop up in Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies and charms as well as German and Dutch folklore but no sign of Loki anywhere in these regions. So for some of the Romans, equating whatever version of Odin they encountered with Mercury (the catch-all god of basically everything) was an easy decision

About the dong situation: Hermes was actually known to be the paragon of masculinity and fertility (makes sense if he’s an offshoot of Pan). In fact, he had a kid with Aphrodite named Hermaphrodite, who’s an intersex being that encompasses both the most feminine traits and the most masculine traits. Notice how the name is a combination of both of their parents’ names. So the dongs make logical sense.

This is one of my favorite OSP videos. Lots of people know the mainstays of Greek mythology (read: lots of people have read Percy Jackson) but studying the origins of the myth is _much_ more interesting in my opinion. Homer and the other Greek poets wrote stories about gods and heroes that were already well known in their day. Why were they well known? Where do these ancient ideas come from? Where and when were they created? Why were they created? What do they represent? How were they worshipped? What can we learn about the people who worshipped them? Ultimately the attributes that people chose to deify can tell us about what they valued. People don't tell us about the gods; the gods tell us about people.

My favorite culture story regarding Hermes: In most Western, and Western-influenced traditions, the Rod of Asclepius has been the de-facto representation of healthcare, medicine, healing, ... from the Greek god Asclepius. The rod itself is extremely similar to Hermes' Caduceus (or at least the artistic representation of it) with the exception that the rod only has 1 snake and no wings. However, for some reason, when it was imported to the US, they mistakenly took Hermes' caduceus and used it to represent healthcare-related services and a lot of US still have this misconception and confusion. Given that US is one of the only developed country to not have a fully nationalized public healthcare, this mistakes turns out to be hilariously cartoonishly ironic. Hermes is the patron God of not only commerce, finance and money but also the God of liars, thieves and mischief and his iconic symbol is plastered all over the US healthcare industry somehow is the most beautifully on-the-nose representation I have ever seen.

It's hilarious that as Hermes is the god of athletes and thieves, both the Flash and the Rogues (Captain Cold, Trickster, Mirror Master) fall under his jurisdiction.

Fun fact, Hermes is also central to the religious philosophy behind alchemy, which is called Hermeticism. Which, extra fun fact, also means you’re kind of performing worship of him every time you read tarot.

@Chonk_enthusiest

6 ай бұрын

Alchemy doesn't have a religious foundation, it has been used throughout history in religious context but it's always been just about understanding how the world and body interacts when put together. Hermeticism is also so much younger then alchemy, it came about as people looking back on ancient texts on medicine and thought as well as rural practice which were all covered under asclepius, hermes and thoth, they then merged them into one god. Also Tarot has nothing to do with anything, I'm assuming you got that from the famous art for the magician card, but tarot didn't exist until hermeticism was on its way out from scholar circles and was a practice for lower classes not those that had the opportunity to read about the hermetic arts.
