Okay, so I’ve been thinking of worshipping Hermes for the past few days, but comes in huge problems for me even though I haven’t started.
1. My family.
My family are Filipino and catholics, or christians to say more. They most definitely will not support my plans anytime soon due to them seeing it as horrible for worshipping another God other than from The Bible.
2. Cramped and insufficient space.
I stay in an upper bed, just without the lower bed. It’s hard for me the explain, but my bedside is just straight up clunged out in our wall with a ladder for me to always go down to, and metal bars like I’m in prison for me to look out on. I do have two beds, though I use the other one more. Each sides of the bed always have alot of things surrounding them. I can’t put it down either because my family will see it as a waste of space, so I’m really unsure of where to even start an altar for him.
3. Financial instability.
Our financial status isn’t really good, so I doubt I can buy anything him yet. And if I do try, I have to ask for my moms permission, and for obvious reasons, she will immediately decline, calling it a waste of space AND money. Since I am only 13, she will most likely think it’s just a phase and that I’ll move on quickly from it, so no point in buying anything for him.
4. My little brother.
My brother (7yro) is REALLY destructive, way too unaware of the things around him that he can cause damage to. So building an altar with him around won’t be any good. We had a really physical fight just last Sunday and I still have bruises from it.
I’ll edit this once I cleared my mind and nose, cuz I’m really sick at the moment.
