Hermes Invocation

Mighty Hermes, herald to the gods,

Guide to lost souls, and friend to travellers,

Great persuader, cunning and swift,

I make this offering to you now and

call to you as the guardian of the road.

{pour mead into the fire}

As I make this offering,

know that I have more to give:

I pray that you grant us safe travels.

Allow us to reach our destination,

And return home again safely

Without hazard or dangers along our way.

If you grant us safe passage,

Making our journey swift and clear,

I will bring forth a case of my finest mead

And offer it all to you.

This is my vow to you, mighty Hermes.
