Snakes entwined on his staff protect Mercury, messenger of the Roman gods. With a little imagination, you can visualize the snakes entwined in Mercury’s symbol.

One of the sons of Zeus was Hermes, son of the Greek Maia, was considered the messenger of the gods and so was naturally thought to be very swift.
Mercury has been known since at least the time of the Sumerians (3rd millennium BC).
It was given two names by the Greeks: Apollo for its apparition as a morning star and Hermes as an evening star; however, Greek astronomers knew that the two names referred to the same body.
Heraclitus even believed that Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun, not the Earth.
Hermes is usually pictured with wings on his sandals and on his cap and he was also the god of commerce, cunning, and invention.
In ancient times, messages from one ruler to another or between armies were carried by “heralds” who had to be treated with respect and were not to be harmed.
These heralds carried a special staff as the sign of their position and this was called a “caduceus” and Hermes carried such a staff.
Supposedly because Hermes moved so quickly, the staff, as well as his cap and sandals, had wings.
Of all the planets in our solar system, the one that moves most quickly against the background of the stars was naturally named after the swift-footed Hermes and the Romans identified their own god of commerce, Mercury, with Hermes, and so we know the planet as Mercury.
Hermes, or Mercury, was the patron of travellers, merchants (deity of commerce), rogues, and thieves; as well as being the Roman wind deity.
He also escorted the souls of the departed to Hades; and as that character, he was called Psychopompus and under the name of Oneicopompus, he was regarded as the lord of dreams and visions.
His festival was celebrated on May 15, at which time merchants sprinkled themselves and their wares with holy water to insure large profits.
Mercury is the source of words such as market, merchandise, merchant, and merciful.
Lord of Wednesday.
In astro-mythology, the messenger, being the intermediary between the four elements, air, earth, fire, water, and the phenomena produced by them.
