Hermes ...
Personalities dominated by the perspective of Hermes seem to be interested in the hidden side of things, the enfolded or implicate aspect. Implicate comes from the Latin word implicio, to enfold or imply. It is that aspect of reality which lies behind the "veil" of manifestation. These individuals see themselves as the carriers of the secret codes or lore, of things that are not on the surface.
Hermes, as the Trickster, has a dark side, like all archetypes. The behavior patterns of the Hermes-dominated person may lead into his opportunistic characteristic pursuits. Hermes rules merchants, thieves, and salespersons. Hermes is also the god of travelers who inspires an incurable wanderlust. He is the prime motivator behind compulsive questing, the search for something--the personal Holy Grail.
Another Hermetic role is to seek out and convey the hidden messages and meanings in synchronous events. These meaningful coincidences, used as a form of personal development (pathworking), serve as a form of metaphorical perception. It means seeking the hidden archetypal patterns in the apparent chaos of daily life. In this way, the Tree of Life with its paths, serves as an objective guide to the unconscious--a consciousness map of the deep psyche. Hermes is also the gods who brings revelations, whether through depth psychology or the interpretations of divinations such as I Ching or astrology.
Looking for the god in a disease, Hermes' style is seen in schizophrenia, as seen in the movie "A Beautiful Mind," about physicist John Nash. This style thrives on plural meanings, cryptic double-talk, in escaping definitions, and psychically detaching body parts. The dissociation aspect of "falling apart" makes possible a new style of reflection in the psyche--a change in attraction from one archetype to another.
