Building Your Mercury Retrograde Arsenal

Crystals, candles and magical tools to keep life smooth during a Mercury Retrograde.
 

Mercury Retrograde can be tough in a variety of ways, from miscommunications throwing us into hot water, to people from the past showing up to tangle our energy, or something as annoying as our phone screens getting the crack of doom. Luckily, there are some easy and magical ways to take the edge off it in this choppy time.

Hematite: throw this crystal in your pocket or get it in jewelry form to keep you grounded.

Fluorite: this crystal is calming, refreshing and helps keep us focused.

Orange Candles: light an orange candle for a little bit each day. This can be something as simple as a chime candle or something a little more bougie a specially poured Mercury Retrograde candle.

Mercury Retrograde Oil: Most metaphysical shops have a house blend they have created just for this astrological occurrence. My personal favorite comes from The Green Man Store. Put it on your candles, mojo bags or any other spells you are crafting to get you through this time...and don't forget, you are the spell, so anoint  yourself to help you slide through the retrograde feels and smell divine while doing it!

Mimosas and Blueberry Muffins: a well-timed and well-intended offering can keep you in good standing with deities and spirits. I know from my own magical work that Mercury is a fan of blueberry muffins and mimosas!
