Hermes Runs the Game: Inverted Myth, Sacrifice and Initiation In-Forming the Events of 2020-2024 - Paperback

by Stephen Crimi (Author)

Hermes Runs the Games shows how the arc of the covid years is a perfect fit to an inversion of every element of the archaic Greek animal sacrifice, invented by Hermes. Hermes, as presiding deity over commerce, travel, borders, initiation and thievery, is woven into every aspect of the covid op. He was busy in his aspect of psychopomp, guide of souls, to their afterlife destination. This inversion reaches its nadir in the depraved abuse and sacrifice of our children. The last third of the book turns to the light of the Greek mystery tradition, how it was transformed into rationalism, and the possibility of now reconnecting with the nearly-occluded vision of the divine illuminating the sacred origins of the western tradition. This is a book looking deeply at the spiritual underpinnings of the age we are living through.
