Hermes Decode vs Archetype Decks

Hermes is a place to meet yourself. It holds four connected spaces — Dreams, Synchronicities, Psyche, and Astrology — and the magic is in how they speak to each other. A dream rhymes with a chance encounter. A pattern in your chart surfaces in a quiet inner dialogue. Nothing stands alone here; every entry becomes a thread in the same unfolding story. DREAMS Capture a dream the moment you wake — by voice or by hand — and watch its images, symbols, and feeling come into focus. Return to it later and follow the threads deeper. SYNCHRONICITIES Log the meaningful coincidences most people let slip past. Hermes helps you read them — the recurring number, the song, the name that keeps arriving — and notices when they echo your dreams. PSYCHE Explore your inner world through guided reflection, word association, archetypal figures, and quiet conversation. A space to sit with what's stirring beneath the surface. ASTROLOGY Your full natal chart and daily transits, read for meaning rather than prediction. See how the sky you were born under threads through your dreams, your patterns, and your reflections. WOVEN TOGETHER The more you record, the more Hermes connects — surfacing the quiet motifs that run through everything you bring to it. AN INNER CIRCLE Share a dream or a synchronicity with someone you trust, exchange interpretations, and explore how your charts meet. MEMBERSHIP Hermes is free to begin.

Ask the Archetype is a depth psychology field guide. 78 figures from Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, Carol Pearson, and Clarissa Pinkola Estés, one a day, with citations. You draw one card a day. Just one. The deck rests until tomorrow. Each card holds a few things to sit with. A short oracle reading. A scholarly description of the figure, with the thinkers who wrote about it named. A few plain questions in everyday language. A few questions written the way the thinkers wrote them, with citations. A short reading list, if you want to follow a thread further. A note on cultural humility when a figure touches a living tradition. That is the whole app. You pull a card. You read what other people have wondered about it. You leave when you are ready. There are no streaks. No notifications. No badges. No accounts. No data collection. No ads. No subscriptions. The deck does not chase you. If you want to leave a tip, there is a small gratitude jar in Settings. Four tiers, named honestly. A candle for the desk. An afternoon in the stacks. And two for people who really want to send a thank you. 100% of net proceeds go to Nutcracker syndrome research, building toward a dedicated research grant with NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Nutcracker syndrome is a rare vascular condition most people have never heard of, which is part of why I chose it. Quarterly receipts at sillydroose.com/donations/askthearchetype. All 78 cards are available without paying anything. I built this because I love reading about archetypes, and I wanted somewhere quiet to spend a minute with one each morning. If that sounds like your kind of thing, welcome. Drew
