Phermos is a servant who arose to his consciousness out of the need for the mediating of the will which streams to O-dio-nar from Mercury and from O-dio-nar to the further servants working under his administration in Valhalla in faithful service to the Light

Phermos is the begotten son of O-dio-nar, for he arose at the beginning of the working of O-dio-nar as a formed will which mediates the tidings that fly across whole worlds upwards to the Grail and back again to Valhalla

He works also towards the other side, deep downwards into the materialities, where there are hosts of servants of the animistic kind labouring in their appointed tasks

Phermos is, figuratively, the formed living pinion of O-dio-nar, bearing proclamations, tidings and commands

His nature is youthfulness and indefatigability

The name Phermos itself signifies in its meaning the never-exhausted one

He is indeed a youth, for every new message fills him with new power and thereby rejuvenates him

His freshness and joyful buoyancy are an image of the union of O-dio-nar with Mercury in the heights

Phermos will never grow old, neither figuratively nor in reality, because he is ever renewed in the streaming of the fulfilment of the Will of God in Creation

His form, bearing within itself the ideality and perfection of manly youthfulness, is clothed in a light tunic of golden fabric, and a sash across his breast holds the mantle which enwraps him, that he may pass lightly through the planes and the worlds

Over his shoulder he bears, hung upon a strap, a scrip with a scroll, as the symbol of the message which he carries to deliver

Many men can behold that his delicate sandals are indeed furnished with pinions, which bear him with the swiftness of an instant from place to place throughout the whole work of Creation

In his hand he bears a short staff, winged at the top, which is the formed expression of his authority to pass on commands to the further servants

A countenance of wondrous glory and perfection, framed by golden, waving locks, awakens in many of the noble Alphar a gentle fondness for this servant

Upon his head he bears a small gleaming helmet from which snow-white pinions rise

The helmet has a brim which creates the impression of a hat, yet it is the expression of the humility of O-dio-nar with which he lets Phermos ascend upwards into the heights of the blinding Light in the expanses of the Grail

By many Phermos is perceived as O-dio-nar, or even as Mercury himself, although in reality he bears within himself only a part of their radiation, just as he has within himself also a part of the ray of the radiation of Mercury

Phermos is always the messenger joyfully awaited by all the servants, for the cheerfulness and the refreshment issuing from the glance of his blue eyes is ever welcome, no matter how grave the tidings which he brings to this or that servant

In earlier times he was permitted to be perceptible also to earthly men, for by the command of O-dio-nar it was always he who came to give warning of the grave changes in the happenings of nature which were to come

Even now he could be visible to men who earnestly beseech it, because today also he has many tidings to deliver to men in the materialities concerning the momentous events which are coming

But because he knows that men do not believe his tidings and that in their thoughts they always dismember and disfigure his weighty messages from O-dio-nar and from Mercury, he remains far from the world of the men of today

In earlier times, however, he often accompanied also the human messengers who bore tidings of grave or of joyful content from place to place

From time to time some of these wayfarers were permitted to see him, and thus on the part of men he became the beheld protector and patron of wayfarers, to whose toilsome labour of travelling he always brought the help of the little animistic ones, that it might go better with the earthly wayfarers and that they might have sufficient refreshment from the springs and from the fruits beside the roads upon their journeyings

The radiation from his form, which issued as enchanting and all-subduing, sometimes led to the supposition that a high agent of divine origin had appeared

Thus he was sometimes held, as has already been mentioned, to be O-dio-nar himself, or Zeus, but above all Mercury himself

Despite the cheerful refusal on the part of Phermos, many men, bedazzled by his beauty and perfection, insisted upon their own conviction that a divine creation had without doubt revealed itself to them

Thus he became a part of the myths and the legends as someone which he neither was nor is

Phermos is the formed messenger of O-dio-nar, and he fulfils his service with proud certainty and faultlessness in the carrying out of the instructions given him

Would that we men could say this of ourselves

In this respect Phermos, just as all the other noble servants of the animistic kind, is for us human spirits a great example in the fulfilling of our own task in the work of Creation

Perhaps one day we too shall be permitted to stand beside these servants, as radiant, joyful and at the same time purely fulfilling our task in the work of Creation

Parzival, Who in His Ray is near to this our earthly plane, now mediates for us all that is needful, that in pure humanity we may be permitted to enter upon co-operation with all the glorious servants, of whom there are whole hosts everywhere about us

Phermos is His servant, and in the scrip upon his shoulder he has many tidings which now await mankind

One of these tidings is also the announcement that there now races through the universe towards the Earth a stream of rays which will at last form themselves into the star that was proclaimed already long ago

Many of the tidings of the servant Phermos we ought to hear and to recognise just now, for it is high time for mankind to change in its hitherto direction

The change will come in any case

Erda and also her servants, who stand in close animistic union with the Earth, have already received from Phermos all that is needful for the preparations for the great happening of the events of nature

Would that we men too might be permitted to receive something of this and still in time to move forward in our inward attitude towards life
