The βmessenger of the godsβ, analogous to Wotan of Norse mythology, for whom Wednesdays were named. Mercury similarly rules communication, focus, breath, and our interactions with others. In a perfume, its botanicals tend to be fleeting or diffusive top notes, and as the Picatrix statesβ sharp. This same quality lends the essential oils in congruence to be readily absorbed and fast acting which sees many of them used primarily for aromatherapy. In and of itself Mercury is neither benefic nor malefic, but constantly in flux which it allows it to sit at the very crossroads of occurrance.
Of particular use during major Mercury transits, retrogrades, travel, problems with electricity and rituals of insight. This anointing oil is made in ceremony with plants that promote clarity and thought, health and balance, including:
β Bergamot - aligned heavily with Virgo. An aroma that is clean, citrusy, and green. A Mercurial Digestif popularized in Earl grey tea, which also lends a touch of class and freshness, used aromatherapeutically for agitation and insomnia
β Lemongrass - Typically seen as an incense or floor wash for spiritual cleansing and an on-the-go fragrant ally to take on trips, long or short distance. It can also balance and clear the thoughts when everything feels jumbled. Scott Cunningham aligns it with the air element and believed it could repel snakes, of the physical or psychic variety.
β Lavender- a classic herbal, floral, powdery clean aroma. Nicholas Culpeper states this flower is βowned by Mercuryβ, primarily for its actions on the nerves. Here, Gemini can correlate to the Mercurial actions of the mind, and Virgo to the body,
β Peppermint - A sharp, airy aromatic which needs no introduction. Powerful enough for cleansing and banishing, yet also grounding and uplifting enough for gentle invigoration and re-alignment. Of use in travel spells.
