Hermes Messenger of the Gods The Magus. This androgynous trickster god was understood to be united in the same body with Aphrodite. He is a universal Indo-European archetype of extreme antiquity, equivalent to Hindu Shiva Ardanariswara and Buddha, to Roman Mercury, as well as to the Germanic gods Teutatis and Woden. His tantric double serpent wand (cadeuceus) signifies the magic of masculine-feminine balance. The sign of the cross originally invoked the four sacred directions of Hermes, and phallic stones called herms, protected all Greco-Roman crossroads. He is shown wearing Etruscan peasant hat, carrying a sacrificial ram and wearing winged sandals. He was considered the Master Philosopher in Arab, Greek and medieval cultures; note the inward-staring gaze of hermetic knowledge. picture and text © 1996 JBL Statues (now called Sacred Source), original web page and text created by Tom Laudeman
