Mercury’s Voice
Alchemy of the Mind
Hey there, seekers. Let’s delve into Mercury. In alchemy, Mercury represents the spark, with thoughts swirling like a storm, sharp one moment and muddled the next. Your mind is a trap, filled with loops of doubt, buzzing hums, and thickening fog, and Mercury is here to shatter it open. My mind can go haywire. The nagging “why bother” swirls until I switch it to “try.” That’s the trick: Mercury governs the mental chaos, but it’s also the key, transforming raw thought into liquid gold, the alchemist’s first brew. Communication becomes apparent, and we enhance our relationships with others and, in turn, ourselves.
Keys to the Mercury archetype are magic, walking between worlds, writing and communication. Often they have an androgynous quality to them. Sometimes they are out right tricksters, tricking us into seeing ourselves and the world as things really are, rather than living in our illusions. ~ Christopher Penczak
Lesson: You’re stuck until you see it. Mercury’s the heat beneath your skull; too much, and you’re cooked. Just right, you achieve Quicksilver: fluid, free, unshackled. It’s not about thinking harder but getting out of your head so you don’t overthink.
Here’s your out; Choose a key, a house, a car, or an old spare. Grip it and name the mental block, the jam of doubt, the whirl of thought. Turn it in your hand as if it’s clicking free, five breaths in, five out, feel the twist. Name what unlocks a call or a clear shot. I turned “wait” and unlocked “now.” Everyone has a key; use it and flip the switch.
This reflection isn’t quiet; it’s the kick of alchemy. Remember: Your mind is the cauldron, and Mercury is the flame. If you stay too long in your head, you’ll turn to ash. Step out, and you become Quicksilver: liquid, sharp, ready. What’s churning up there?
From this point on may i use mercury’s energy in the most helpful way for my soul.
