Prayer to Hermes for a Safe Journey

Swift-footed Hermes, friend of the traveler,

friend of those who find themselves far from their homes,

by will or by chance, I pray to you. Hermes,

who moves between the realms with authority and ease,

who leads men and women on their last, longest journey,

who stands at the crossroad, who watches the byways,

in you I place my trust, for by your might I know

that when I stumble I will rise again, that when

I choose my way I will choose aright. Hermes,

as I make my way through the world, whether I wander

or whether I walk my path with care, be with me.

I like the picture of Hermes. But is that the Rod of Asclepius that he is holding? I can't really tell.
Hermes and I are old friends...when I was about 22, I left my hometown, where I had been miserable, and set out to see something of the world. I've been all over these United States, up into Canada a bit and down into Mexico, where I spent a fabulous year on the Baja. Surely, Hermes was with me, because me and the two babies I dragged along with me were always well looked after.

I'm glad to hear that he protected you.
