So today at the grove we had a ritual in honor of the Greek gods, something Renee decided a few weeks back that she wanted to do. And i found myself once again playing the role of Hermes' priestess, calling him to the ritual as the gatekeeper.

He most likely appreciates you speaking exactly what you feel and meaning it from the heart, rather than lying and b-s-ing about how he paints rainbows in front of you, to the point that they're coming out your behind.

I like the informal. Sometimes, I think that's how he wants me to be with him, too. Although, maybe he wants me to be a little more involved... He probably appreciates the honesty, though. After all, you can't really deceive this being, now can you?

Well, I would certainly like to think after all these years and all the shit, I'm close enough to him for an inordinate degree of informality. I know I'm a lot more comfortable that way, being an extremely informal person myself.

I do think you're probably right, he preferred total honesty, and no one can argue I've earned the right to my about equal amounts gratitude and aggravation that I feel at this moment in time.

Though I definitely wouldn't have spoken to any other god that way. Whether I felt it or not. ;-)

I tend to believe that whatever divine surrounds me likes me for what I am, and wants me to be myself. And if that entails some mouthiness, it's because I'm human, and it gives me "character". I can only imagine what my life looks like from the end point back -- and I know that somewhere, the divine already knows it. Hermes is just another facet of it that likes to manifest around me in one form or another.
