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. "Steve Crimi transmits his lifetime study and love of the ancient world, reintroducing us to the mythic realm and alerting us to its subversion and weaponization during the COVID psychological operation. He rues the near-extinction of symbolic, mythologic and analogical thought in our age caused by the prostitution of language. He seeks to awaken us to the everyday communion with the Cosmos enjoyed by the founders of our civilization, through their archetypes, symbols and legends. He does this through "scattershot mythic front-loading", with a firehose of mythology and exquisite artwork, as he relentlessly reacquaints us with our culture in a luxurious riot of beauty, wisdom, alchemy and sacred geometry. This leads us toward the treasure within, to the divine sacrifice of the One into the multiform experience that is us. He believes that an understanding of our Oneness is our best defense against the Luciferians' occult initiation rituals such as 9/11 and the COVID Hoax and he suggests that through this awareness, we may out-trick the Trickster and become fully-human - and thus, fully-divine." -Alexandra Bruce, author
