Hermes, guide of souls into the Underworld

Other:
Hermes Trismegitus is a syncretism of Thoth and Hermes, combining the qualities and attributes of both; author of the Hermetica.
Hermes caduceus was given to him by Zeus for returning Apollo’ stolen cattle. It represents two warring snake who come together in peace and thus signifies healing. It is sometime shown with wings to depict Hermes’ spiritual connection. Note the difference between Hermes “magic wand” and that of Askeplius which has only one snake.
