What does the caduceus of Hermes actually mean?
This Hermes caduceus brooch represents the Greek lucky charm most associated with commerce.
Originally, the caduceus was composed of an olive branch ending in two shoots and decorated with garlands or ribbons. Later, the ribbons were interpreted as two intertwined serpents, heading in two opposite directions.
A pair of wings, reminiscent of Hermes' winged sandals, is also attached above the snakes. In fact, in Greek mythology, Hermes is the messenger god and patron of commerce.
Naturally, this god also takes care of travelers and borders.
The caduceus of Hermes symbolizes diligence and prudence... two qualities necessary for the success of any commercial enterprise.
This Greek lucky charm, however, carries an additional meaning...
According to legend, before Hermes touched them with his staff, the two snakes were fighting. After coming into contact with the god's piece of wood, they stopped fighting and wrapped themselves around the caduceus harmoniously.
Peace... This too is necessary for commerce.
In the seventh century, the caduceus of Hermes was used to represent the Hermetic sciences, including astrology and energy medicine. When we know that one of the goals of these practices is to achieve peace, this immediately becomes clearer.
In conclusion, wearing this Hermes caduceus brooch sends a message that only some will understand.
If, however, a person you meet understands its meaning, they will be happy to have crossed your path, aware that you are someone educated, curious and open-minded.
