On The Road Again

This music video by Canned Heat (or a couple of others), was originally going to be the opening music video of this Sabbat series before I settled on the one you may have viewed above this one-or will view, depending on what time you come here. I included this one anyway, as it fits somewhat with the aspect of Hermes as a god of messengers and travelers. The particular brand of traveler has more than sight-seeing in mind. This is a restless spirit, looking for meaning in life, and engaged in an odyssey of hope and self-discovery.

Hermes as the guide of travelers is also charged with the task of accompanying the spirits of dead mortals to the underworld, and potentially, vice versa. Of course, as mentioned previously, he accompanies Persephone to and from her stay in said Underworld as the Queen of Lord Hades.

Sabbat meaning Sabbath?

Yeah, it's supposed to be the Neo-Pagan/Wiccan spelling, but it has little to do with the typical meaning of the word, but instead recognizes different pivotal points of the "Wheel of The Year", meaning the Equinoxes, Solstices, and points in between. It's more a sanctification of nature.
