The Greek God Hermes: Communication Magic + Travel Spells covers Mercury Retrograde energy with Plants By Laurali! Worshipping Greco-Roman Gods can be a powerful remedy for life and Hermes is truly the best when it comes to working with retrograde planets.

Hermes is the Sun God of travel, communication, commerce, and animal husbandry.  As the son of Zeus, Hermes is a Greek god in the Hellenic tradition.  I have found him to be easy to work with and a well-rounded god who can assist with many things.  He’s a lot of fun to work with!

Working with Hermes will be like a creative light shining down on you!  He is a sun god after all.  I’ve only ever heard kind words about Hermes, a favorite to many.

The Greek God Hermes: Communication Magic + Travel Spells

To learn all about Hermes, I recommend looking into Greek Mythology to understand his story better.  It’s always a good starting point, with any deities, to do your research and study them.  

I’ve worked with many facets of Hermes and find him to be quite endearing.  This has come with many different personal experiences that I have had with him.  I call these spiritual encounters.  

With deities, you may feel a tendency to draw closer to them.  This, in turn, leads to research and homework assignments.  Many deities will want to reach out to you first.

It’s very important during this learning period to get to know what your deity likes and dislikes.  You’ll learn a lot of this through your thoughts, feelings, and intuition.  This is how deities speak to humans.  

You may even begin to see signs and symbolism having to do with the deity of interest.  With Hermes, you may see wings, a tortoise, or a caduceus.  It’s really important to trust the signs and to only take what resonates with you.  

This takes time and patience.  Over time, you’ll begin to lay the groundwork for working with other deities in the future if that’s something you feel called to do.  

Deities are like people, only they feel things more intensely.  Everything is bigger in their world and they hold great power.  Working with them should be done respectfully and kindly.  

Hermes is extremely good-natured and fun to work with.  I find he’s a wonderful friend to have, even if you don’t lean toward Hellenism.  He’s someone you can always count on and he’ll bring fun and adventure into your life.  

To learn about him, take your time!  Study him.  Write him letters.  Develop a sixth sense for when he’s around.  He appreciates any efforts you can make toward building a solid relationship.  

How to Call on Hermes

If you feel called to work with Hermes, I recommend giving him a call!  If you are feeling down, get on your knees and pray.  The deities, especially the Greco-Roman deities, respond well to prayer, worship, and offerings.  

Don’t worry about the atmosphere being perfect or even getting in the perfect mood.  Sometimes, that never comes.  Simply, start by talking to him as you would an old friend.  

It’s important to remember that Hermes is an ancient God with a modern-day twist!  I think we’re seeing a lot more of him due to modern technology and internet communication.  This is where Hermes feels most at home.

Therefore, there are many different ways you can reach out to Hermes!  He will be honored that you took the time to get to know him.  Hermes looks kindly to people who are humble and thoughtful in their words.  

Contacting him can be done in prayer form or you can do what I do, which is to write a distance energy healing letter.  Otherwise, known as a letter to the universe.  

You can write a letter addressed to Hermes about whatever you want, then burn the letter over a sink or cauldron.  It’s an awesome way to make contact with any deity!  

Some people choose to bury their words in a potted plant or head into the forest and leave it near a tree.  Do what feels best for you and your unique situation.  

I write letters to angels, deities, ancestors, and guides every morning with my coffee.  It’s a fantastic way to start the day!  It helps me during times of stress and anxiety.  

You should immediately feel something.  It can be a presence, a temperature change, or a shift in the air.  Each deity leaves an energetic blueprint!  Hermes feels like the element of air to me, which makes perfect sense as Hermes rules the throat chakra.  

Hermes is a Greek god of communication.  This makes contact easy, and breezy!

The Hiking Pretty Spell is a spell for natural beauty and attractiveness!  This is a three-step spell that requires a magical hike in nature.  This is the perfect spell for getting attention and turning heads by being your most natural self.

The hiking pretty spell brings out the inner beauty that you already have available to you.  It will make your eyes sparkle just a bit more and your smile beautiful and expansive.  This is a spell for gaining compliments, turning heads, and embracing your natural beauty!  

The hiking pretty spell is great as a confidence boost!  It brings out the beauty that already resides within you.  You’ll garner a lot of attention, compliments, and praise.  You’ll feel validated in your natural beauty.  

I created the hiking pretty spell out of a desire to look and feel more beautiful.  I did a lot of research and experimenting before finally finding a spell that sticks.  Sometimes, it’s about finding what you’re looking for.

In my case, I wanted a spell that would bring out the beauty that comes from deep within!  We all have unique features and beauty traits that can be boosted with the right form of magic.  

This spell will make you feel more confident and worthy, even if you don’t feel like one of the most beautiful people.  In fact, by the time the spell takes full effect, you’ll begin to feel like you are beautiful, desirable, and enchanting!  Who wouldn’t want to feel that way?

These are some of the indicators that your spell is working properly.  Look for the signs!

The Hiking Pretty Spell for Natural Beauty and Attractiveness

To prepare for this spell, I highly recommend prepping everything the night before!  This can include choosing your hiking destination, laying your clothes out, and getting your hiking boots ready.

Parks and Recreation

Before you can go hiking, you need to have a destination in mind!  Nine times out of ten, I always end up at my favorite park here in Florida.  Part of being a green witch is knowing your genius loci, spirits of the land.  

It’s also important to practice safety while hiking!  When you’re walking in the forest, you’re in the habitat of sometimes dangerous, unpredictable animals.  It’s important to be prepared for any situation.  

Be sure to have water, sunscreen, a camera, bug spray, and anything else you might need for the next steps in the spell.  I always keep everything in my pink hiking backpack! 

This includes tools of the trade.  Of course, you’ll need spell ingredients that you keep in a separate compartment of your backpack.  That way you have it ready and easily accessible.  

Next, you’ll need containers to keep any specimens you collect.  Always be respectful, give thanks to the plants and mushrooms, and leave an offering!

Plant spirits like offerings of herbs, tiny gemstones, and honeycombs.  Tree spirits like whole herb sprigs of thyme and rosemary.  Mushroom spirits like tiny crystals, flower petals, and pebbles.  

At Home Prepwork

If you plan on implementing parts one and two of the hiking pretty spell, be sure to complete them before ever leaving the house.  You’ll want to make sure you have your herb-infused water bottle with you for hydration and the crystal in the bra spells for a confidence boost!

Magical Spell Ingredients

Since this is a three-part spell that starts at home, I’ll be sharing the ingredients individually.  You can skip parts of the spell if you feel called to or are short on time.  I do recommend performing all three sections, as they can boost your spell!

The Herb-Infused Water Bottle Spell (Part One)

• A sprinkle of cayenne pepper for speed and sexiness!  Cayenne also speeds up the metabolism.

• Lemon wedges for energy, vitality, and revitalization!  Lemon also gives you a natural boost of vitamin C and happiness.

• Mint leaves for refreshment, youth, and vitality!  Mint is also great for good breath and dental hygiene.

• A sprinkle of rosemary for blessings, beauty, and attraction!  Rosemary herb heals the mind and improves your mood.  It’s great for thinking and uplifting how you feel about yourself!

• A moonstone for beauty, reflection, and glamour magic!  Whatever you put out, the moonstone reflects it to you.

Wear Crystals in Your Bra Spell (Part Two)

• Rose quartz crystal for self-love and self-worth!  Acts as a magical agent in beauty and glamour spells.  Place in your left boob or the inside pocket of a bralette, where the pads go.

• Amethyst gemstone aids in beauty sleep!  It also fights the signs of aging and encourages skin cell turnover.  Place in the right boob or the inside pocket of the bralette, where the pads go.  

Mirror Magic in the Forest Spell (Part Three)

• A piece of paper with your petition!  Write a love note of yourself on the back and seal it with a kiss.  Use your favorite lipstick shade.  

• Pocket Mirror - To mirror your beauty back to you through other people using your thoughts, feelings, and intuition.  You’ll be guided to make changes!

Botanical Style: DIY Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key covers the symbolism of the Greek goddess of graveyards, ghosts, and herbal witchcraft with Plants By Laurali! Keys can be used to open doors to opportunities and new possibilities. Are you ready?

I started working with the Greek Goddess Hekate many years ago while living in a tiny fishing shack beside the sea. There, I began to form a deep relationship with the lady of torches and nighttime. This is when she began to open doors to me.

She opened the door to herbal witchcraft for me. She taught me how to see beyond the hedge, to the places where no one goes.

Hekate taught me how to perform my first curse, as well as my first banishing and binding spell. She taught me a great deal about protection and defense magic.

When I was ready, she taught me how to make my first key. My first key was a black mushroom that I plucked from the forest floor and kept in a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for preservation. When the key needed a refresh, I would shake the bottle, watching my mushroom key and its every movement.

Mushrooms, onions, and garlic make great keys. When you’re ready, you can make a key out of virtually anything in nature. But, today, we are going to learn how to make a Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key.

Why mushrooms? Mushrooms have magical and medicinal properties just like our favorite herbs, plants, and natural healing foods. When you choose the right mushroom and match it to its personal power, you can unlock the door to something profound and mystical.

What are keys used for? Keys are used to open the doors to opportunities and fresh possibilities. Keys can open the door to knowledge and wisdom, which Goddess Hekate can provide in full.

To make a key, you are going to have to do a little mushroom hunting to find the right key. The right key will come to you at the right time when you know it.

With that being said, let’s talk about how to make a Goddess Hekate Key and why you would want to make one. What door would you like to open? What road would you like to unlock? The possibilities are endless!

Botanical Style: DIY Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key

To make Hekate’s Key, you must first have an understanding of Goddess Hekate. She is the goddess of graveyards, witchcraft, ghosts, doors, keys, and torches. Her powers are universal and limitless.

When I think of Goddess Hekate, I think of the most secret place of them all. The place where ghosts and restless spirits reside. I think of graveyard witchcraft when she comes to mind.

Goddess Hekate guides the dead to their final resting place. She holds the key to the underworld and provides a safe refuge for the death witch. To understand her better, one must turn to the death tarot card.

The death tarot card represents death, rebirth, and all the places in between. It is within that in-between liminal space where you can find Goddess Hekate, hiding in the shadows with her set of keys.

How will you know when Hekate is ready to give you one of her keys? There will be a knowing and a spirit of quietness as she approaches you with her key.

Goddess Hekate is known as both the goddess of keys and doors. She uses her torch to light the way in all the darkness. She holds the knowledge, wisdom, and power to the great mysteries of life.

She is a patient goddess and she is an ally and a friend. But, make no mistake, Goddess Hekate can be violent, fierce, and commanding, like a voice booming in a place of solitude.

While Goddess Fortuna is my patron deity, Goddess Hekate is how I power through the darkness. She enfolds me in her arms like a mother would, offering shelter and protection.

It is in the darkness where I have found her key and learned to make my own set of keys. Mushrooms hold a sacred power to the Goddess Hekate. They open the doors to things you never knew before.

Making a Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key means unlocking your source of power. Power can be scary sometimes. It can be unyielding and relentless.

To walk through that door, let us make your first botanical-style mushroom key. If you find yourself in darkness and can no longer see the light, that is where Goddess Hekate will be, waiting for you with open arms.
