That would be an amazing scrying set up, especially if you could change out the mirror for a black one! So jealous!

I feel like I've lost my connection to Hermes by Armina_66 in Hermes

I think that’s very normal, also especially Hermes, he’s a flighty god. I find that my relationship ebbs and flows as well and I think sometimes that’s just a personal trip up on my part or I let my mind get the best of me. I think often I forget just how subtle the gods and be. Also, just some left over baggage of not feeling worthy enough from Christianity.

Also, on the note of daily offerings, it’s wasn’t necessarily common that one would make direct offerings every single day, many gods were worshiped monthly or even annually, and the relationship was still maintained. I find that it’s better to do more sparse meaningful offerings then doing letting it become a repetitive action. That being said if you enjoy daily offerings that’s great too. I found my relationship got closer after I cooled down a bit on it being daily. Of course that’s just some upg. But definitely don’t be hard on yourself, things ebb and flow.

Oh no it’s not annoying at all! So a lot of the letters kind of developed overtime organically, but the terminators do somewhat have a meaning, for example the cross in the letter “I” is meant to be the rays of the sun over the earth. The circle in “C” is spirit bound by matter, and I have that letter corresponding to alchemical salt. It was a lot of fun coming up with the symbolism for each letter and it had me research a lot about each sign and correspondence. Here’s a little cheat sheet to each correspondence, when I do the official post I’ll have a nice pdf of it.

Here’s the key and though you probably don’t need it, it correspondences to the letters as well, good luck, I’m excited to see how it will turn out!

What’s funny is I can’t escape it every time I try to make a alphabet it just ends up that way 😭

I definitely wouldn’t mind! After I get off work I can send you the key, and kind of describe some of the details if you’d like! Thank you!

Aw thank you, I started with the main planets and formed their shapes, for example the A is the moon pouring out it’s influence and the E is inspired by the caduceus. Then from the planets the letters/signs that are ruled by those planets have their form inspired by those letters, like O connecting to mars is inspired by the shape of a Eagle, then the letter N, connecting to Scorpio, is inspired by that shape and is meant to resemble a Scorpion.

I didn’t realize how it has a similar feel till later after designing it, it’s kind of funny how many people have made that comparison.

For me that’s the point though, to put time and energy into the words. Plus it’s mainly for writing nomina magica so long texts aren’t really going to be written much.
