Today Mercury makes his way back into Gemini - his Astrological home. This episode is a tribute to the Prince of Thieves, God of the Crossroads, Guide of Souls (Psychopomp) and Friend at the Feast.

In Greece he was known as Hermes. In Rome he was Mercury. But all through the myriad of cosmologies throughout the world he leaves his fingerprints, shapeshifting into countless forms, causing delight, mischief and mayhem everywhere he goes.
