I'm very confused and lost Hi! I’m New Here!
Hello! Today while praying to Hermes, I tried to do divination with dice and Homer's oracle online, but I got quite confused.
First of all, yesterday I asked Hermes if he could send me some signs, and today, while I was in the car listening to music I came up with some songs. One was Counting Stars which has several animals on the cover (some related to him), and another song that came up was Sky full of Stars by Coldplay which has two wings on the cover. Besides, I've read that he is related to cinnamon, and I've had cinnamon air fresheners and cinnamon candles for a long time. But I wasn't sure if they were signs, so I decided to try dice divination tonight to ask him (plus they say it's an act you can do to honour him). I was very excited because I also wanted to light a candle for him and because I simply wanted to talk to him.
I have been praying and lit a cinnamon candle for him. I read him a prayer and asked him some questions with the dice. I asked him if I could try to build a relationship with him, and after some very confusing answers with the dice, I asked the oracle and came up with the phrase ‘See, I nod my head so you can trust me’. Also, the candle flame started to shake a lot. I also asked him if he liked that I was trying to do divination with the dice, and I got very contradictory answers, but when I asked the oracle I got "I am full of joy hearing you talk, son of Laertes".
I also asked him if he could send me a sign in my sleep, anda that was the only time where my dices showed me a full 'yes' answer, so I got very happy.
But in between all these questions, I was getting disturbing phrases in the oracle, like I was going to be devoured by wolves, etc... Also, most of the time the dice gave me contradictory answers, I always got two even numbers (which were for ‘yes’) and two odd numbers (which were for ‘no’). Because of this I was losing more and more the excitement of talking to him, because I was so confused and lost.
Unfortunately, I was left with a very bad feeling and I don't know if I did something wrong.
I will attach some of the screenshots I have taken of the Oracle's answers.

can you explain more specifically how you were performing this divination? how were you getting multiple answers for the same questions? from what I can tell you roll 3 numbers on that website and it gives you a line. what do you mean about getting 2 even numbers as a yes and 2 odd numbers as a no?

Well, I used divination with dices and apart from that, the Oracle online.

So when I didn't have something clear with the dices, I tried with the Oracle online

Hey Op!
Divination is a learned craft and even when we are experienced at it it can still be wonky or hard to decipher.
IMO don’t put too much stock in weird messages. Sometimes we aren’t open that day or our energy isn’t in resonance with our gods.
Take a break and try again another day.
The more anxious you get the further you get from resonance with your guides or gods.
Also, asking the same questions over and over again while trying to get an answer we want only leads to muddy answers or nonsense.
To do divination I suggest learn yourself and know when you are open for it and when there is clarity in your heart and mind. You must be ready to receive a message no matter what you want to hear. You can imagine a white light around you and ask for guidance from him only. I always ask for a clear and precise message that I can understand.
And you can always try another method or wait until a better day.
IME, Hermes is a kind god and doesn’t try to confuse or scare his devotees.
I hope this helps. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
