Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Hermes—the winged trickster, messenger of the gods, and master of language, alchemy, and transformation.What we explore in this episode:The myth of HermesHermes as a queer deityTarot cards resonant with Hermes: The Magician, The Fool, The World, 2 of Cups, The HermitThe Myth of HermesHermes—known as Mercury to the Romans and Thoth in Egypt—was a god of magic, letters, medicine, and occult wisdom. He moved freely between worlds as a psychopomp, guiding souls between life and death. Hermes was also a trickster and inventor: credited with creating language, measurement, music, and alchemy. His staff, the caduceus, entwined by serpents, symbolizes balance and transformation.Hermes as a Queer DeityHermes embodies queerness through duality and divine androgyny. In ancient cults, he was worshiped alongside Aphrodite as Hermaphroditus, a deity of wholeness and fluid gender expression. His myths include love stories with both gods and mortals—men and women alike—revealing a god who transcends the constraints of binary identity. As patron of travelers, messengers, and liminal souls, Hermes protects queer, trans, and intersex people who navigate boundaries and self-redefinition.Hermes & TarotHermes’ presence threads through the tarot wherever curiosity, knowledge, and sacred mischief converge. Together, these archetypes capture Hermes’ essence as the bridge between beginnings and endings, words and silence, body and spirit.The Magician - power through focus, communication, and creationThe Fool - fearless beginnings, curiosity, and trust in the journeyThe World - completion, unity, and the alchemy of oppositesTwo of Cups - harmony, dialogue, sacred connection between equalsThe Hermit - inner wisdom and illumination through solitudeIf you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, I pulled the Borage - Six of Water (Reversed)Borage reminds us to cherish friendship and community, offering freely without attachment to outcome. When reversed, it calls us to reconnect with love, joy, and presence rather than intellectual control.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I overthinking instead of feeling?How can I reconnect with others through generosity and openness?What message or connection longs to flow through me today?Ways to Connect & SupportSpooky Halloween! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab my Queer Coven Spooky 6-card spread here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my episode of Kayla Moore’s Connected Pleasure podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠, Living by the Body, Dreaming of Land, and Weaving the Future⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Kayla here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Be Our Guest! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out my form to Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn how to create your own Tarot Cards with collage!  No art skills?
