Hermes - the border between different states of consciousness, the threshold between home and the outside world, between the inner and the outer. God of threshold, intermediate space, crossroads.

In Egypt he (in various sources) -
in my humble opinion, all these Gods, his 3 faces.
Thoth
wikipedia
Ancient Egyptian god of the moon, time, wisdom and writing. He was endowed with the epithets "twice big" and "thrice big". Such exaltation was later transferred to Hermes, identified with Thoth, whom the Greeks called "Trismegistus", that is, "thrice the greatest." Basically, Thoth was depicted with the head of an ibis bird.
- (The god of the moon - because: the moon is the subconscious, the psyche, and is even considered the other world, the world of the dead, and he is a guide there, and there is also the moon in the sigil of Mercury)*
Anubis

(write for Mercury, I decided after I dreamed of Anubis 😅😂)
God with the head of a jackal, who escorts the dead to the afterlife, also participates in the weighing of the soul, holding the scales.

alchemy is associated with him, and he is the father of writing.
*Speaking of the Deities of Mercury.
It is necessary to indicate the God of the traveler Odin,

he also could move up and down the huge tree standing in the center of the world: when he went up, he fell into the kingdom of the gods, and when he went down, he found himself in a kingdom between two worlds. He is the energy circulating between two realities, and he is the infinite intermediate reality.
At first glance, Odin and Mercury are different archetypes,

- 12 - The Hanged Man , (sometimes they say a shifter about Mercury), he is the one who went to self-sacrifice, and is merry on the Tree of Wisdom, upside down for 9 days and 9 nights, to get what he wants, but Odin wanted wisdom.
The Hanged Man card is a conductor, and he sees the world upside down, as if looking from another world. I will give not the best, but the most understandable and simple example - for us, the inhabitants of the planet Earth, our planet, the third (in a row) planet of the solar system, but if we look at the Earth, from the other side and from another world, the world that originated under other luminary, not the Sun, for example, from a spacecraft that is approaching our planetary system, its captain will most likely consider that our Earth, the seventh planet in the solar system, because he sees it as the third planet, but from the end.
One received this wisdom, he got the Runes, and the Runes - (something seems to me to the Runes themselves, my phrase would not have been pleasant 😂) the same way - the Alphabet, of course more complicated, multivariate, magical, it contains a lot of knowledge, including, answers to questions about the creation of the world. But it still has the function of the alphabet. 😅In total, the possession of letters is also due to the Mercury nature.
I think that Odin is still of Mercurial blood)))
