Greek God Hermes

The Greek God Hermes is the archetype of change being brought into our lives. It is the energy of fluidness and openness and receptiveness of change.

The word archetype describes what Carl Jung identified as patterns of behaving that arise from the collective unconscious of humankind. The pattern of being is not unique to an individual; it is available to manifest in each of us because we each reflect a part of the whole.

To recognize Hermes active within your life look for...

quick, agile mind

always on the move

likes to find own way to succeed

braid range of interests and ideas

doesn't like to be tied down

Possible drawbacks to living the Hermes archetype...

oblivious to what might be unacceptable

never settles or settles very late

unwilling to commit because of lure of next possibility

This information has been summarized from the book Gods in Everyman by Jean Shinoda Bolen.

If you recognize your patterns of acting and being in the world from the above list and are curious about what you can do to change, then first and foremost use this information as proof that you are not different, defective or a victim of your past programming.

The above shows the commonality in the human experience when certain innate energies are active. As such begin by accepting that you do indeed own these particular traits and let it be ok that you do.

This will slightly raise your self-esteem and self-acceptance for each trait you own. If you would like some guidance or clarification, please contact me, I would love to help.
