  1. It's the #DayOfHermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Anubis is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide of souls in #ancientEgyptian religion. He is commonly depicted with the head of a jackal as jackals had been strongly associated with cemeteries. The Greeks associated him with #Hermes because they both guided souls to the afterlife, resulting in the syncretic god #Hermanubis.
