Also I have a Neoplatonist buddy who sometimes reads these posts and his one of his few hangups about classical paganism is the fact that Hermes/Mercury is associated with thievery. I threw that bit in there as a bit of preemptive taunting in the event he comes across this post.
I find it quite appropriate that the messenger of the gods is a thief, disabusing humanity of our notions of superiority, robbing us of our comfortable illusions.
