What went on in Dionysus was referred to as the \"spiritual process\", the \"above\"; what went on in man was referred to as the \"below\". For the purpose of mediating between the two, an image was created, the figure of Hermes, the messenger of the gods. He takes care of errands, love letters and so on, but also has a deep esoteric meaning. He presents himself as the mediator of the Dionysian and the Heraclean. He is the son of Zeus and a mortal, Zeus with a daughter of Atlas, Maya, who lives in the Arcadian caves. Through the mediation, the connection of Maja with Zeus, the mediation between the \"upper\" and \"lower\" arises.
