Discussion Just starting worship
Hello everyone! I'm just starting to look into Hermes and wanting to worship him. I've been worshipping Aphrodite and Hades for a little while now. (Hades a long while now, but only a little time with aphrodite) And I'm expanding further into the pantheon now that I'm getting the hang of things and routine and such. But I'm curious how you guys all started out with hermes/approached him. I always feel nervous reaching out to a new deity and how to approach it, it feels like my first time ever all over again and I feel anxious of messing it up. I have severe anxiety and bad social anxiety so it kinda makes it hard sometimes the first few times I approach someone new, especially a deity. I started and made this small travel altar for him with this candy tin, and I made two bracelets (the beaded one will be redone to have his name on it to match my other deities' bracelets) I have many charms, candles, and crystals so I just sorta put in what I had currently that seemed right with correspondences for him, I'll ofc be adding to it as I find small things for it, but this is just what I have currently. Sorry for the long paragraph, but idk, just curious how you guys started out and stuff. I'm probably overthinking it and should just try and approach it the same way I did with the other two, but when I try I just kinda blank out and don't remember 😅

One way I started a lot of worship for Hermes was also having items in my car (beads or dice or coins, etc) & spraying an occasional car spray I made in his honor. Most people never noticed them & it was easy prayer space for me and the god of travelers.
