Hermes takes so many forms hes identified with the egyptians god Thoth and as Zeus by the ancient Greeks but as Hermes trismegistos he is the patron of hermetism to which he gave his name he paradoxically transmit light by veiling it but he didnt only talk in riddles but he used symbols to communicate Hermes has lots of secrets surrounding him which arnt able to be kept in the light because then they will lose their secrecy the invisible only becomes visible through concealment so he is an elusive god mercurial and often goes overlooked by his oservers the trismegistos appears on the Rosetta stone and gets its name from the greek meaning three times greatest and so Hermes has three functions to which are to take care of people that pray people that go to war and those that go to work and he is identified with moses christ and st john but you must not forget that Hermes is the master of secrecy and a mythological figure transmitting secret knowledge is the basis for all religions
