Mercury “Retrograde” Charms by Lady Rae
These charms were crafted with the blessings of the Gods
Mercury/Hermes/Thoth and the Goddess Iris.
They contain lavender, dill seeds, and other herbs for:
·
Protection for your car from accidents
·
Protection for your computer from Mercury
retrograde infrastructure and network breakdowns
·
Protection from theft
·
To protect you from misunderstandings and
miscommunications
·
To promote mindfulness and clear headed thinking
·
To ensure safe travels
·
To ease or avoid delays
·
To keep the Pixies away
The will also assist with increasing the benefits of
Mercury “retrograde”, that is, editing, revising, revisiting, finding lost
items, and catching up with old friends.
The shadow period begins at 5:49 PM CDT (17:49) October 11
(at Scorpio 11o 35”).
“Retrograde” from 10:41 AM CDT October 31 (at 27o 38” Scorpio) through 1:12 PM CST (13:12)
November 20, 2019 (at 16o 06”
Scorpio).
Mercury ends the shadow period (returns to the starting
point in Scorpio) on December 7 at 11:55 AM CST.
For
general information about Mercury “retrograde” from an astrological perspective:
From a magickal standpoint, the God Mercury rules
travel, communication, and theft, among other things. As a planetary ruler he oversees the signs
Gemini and Virgo. During “retrograde”
periods, the story is that Mercury returns to Mt. Olympus to report on the
comings and goings of mortals. So during
the shadow he is preparing for travel and travelling, and during the
“retrograde” period he is in meetings with the other Gods and Planetary
rulers.
I invoke the protection of Iris, the “other” messenger
God, best known from The Iliad. I’ve
noticed that the mischievous spirits or sprites known as Pixies love Mercury
retrogrades. I make offerings to them
during this time to keep them from creating trouble for me. Throughout the retrograde and shadow periods,
I ring a bell for them and offer then milk and honey when I making offerings to
Mercury and Iris on Wednesdays.
These charms were made in a Circle, with full
attendance of the Gods, Guardians, Elementals, and all other entities. These charms are my own recipe, and they are
made for this specific “retrograde” cycle.
At the end of the cycle the charm (inside the red flannel) should be
burned or buried. To keep the cloth from
ending up in a landfill, you can burn it (has a not pleasant smell though) or
recycle at a fabric bin. Or you can
return them to me.
Blessings!
