About This Blog

KALLISTI was created several years ago. Since then, the blogopshere has gotten richer, but this devotee to Apollon (and now the Erinyes) is still here providing anecdotes of personal practice, communicating about various theological/moral/philosophical beliefs of myself and others, linking to valuable and/or interesting media sources, and sharing resources about Hellenic polytheisms with the general community.

Hermes of the Digital Age


Today, I fly to my mom's house to spend the remainder of my school holiday, so I have a treat for you all: an image of Hermes. This is the first time I have used my oil pastels, ink pens, and watercolor pencils in about three and a half years, and I'm not exactly Velazquez here, but I hope you enjoy it.

Created with oil pastels, ink, and watercolor pencils, with text added via GIMP image editor.

Io Hermes! Please keep me safe as I go on my journey today!

I liked the idea of 0 and 1 as background, but the Hermes is looking like a Brazilian rock singer called Rita Lee: http://www.calypsofm.com.br/imagens/artistas/20080826115236.jpg

Heh. That's a disturbing thought.

The 0's and 1's make up the first four or five lines of the longer Homeric Hymn to Hermes.
