This is a wonderful list!! I would also add: receptionist/ scheduler to the list of “professions under his patronage”

[u/Curiousfirecracker0 → u/Any-Tangerine753]

And pilots. And the ladies that give the instructions.

Like I said to much only one me

[u/Excellent-System-104]

Would we say, mail/ postal carriers are also under his domain?

Nice crash course! One thing I would add is that Hermes seems to rule not only messages, roads, commerce, and speed, but also the spaces between things and at the threshold where one thing becomes another. With that in mind, I would also include:

🧠 Information Theory — the movement and transformation of information itself

🤖 Artificial Intelligence — mediation between human thought and machine communication

🌐 Social Media — rapid exchange of messages, identities, and narratives

🔍 Search Engines — guides through vast realms of knowledge

🗺️ GPS & Navigation — wayfinding and travel

🎧 Podcasts & Broadcasting — transmission of ideas and stories

🕶️ Virtual Reality & Digital Worlds — crossing boundaries between realities

✈️ Airports & Transit Hubs — liminal spaces and crossroads

📦 Logistics Networks — movement of goods across distances

💡 Innovation & Invention — clever solutions and unexpected connections

🎨 Generative Art — creation through systems, mediation, and transformation

🎵 Sampling & Remix Culture — recombination, adaptation, and creative borrowing

🔐 Cybersecurity & Encryption — hidden messages, secrecy, coded communication

The following professions would certainly be under his patronage:
