4. Activating

“Froggy” was supposed to be a working title, but a more highfalutin one hasn’t presented itself yet! We reserve the right to change its name at a later date ; )

“From the works of Mercury, inscribe the figure of a frog on an emerald… Whoever carries this stone will be offended by none; nay, people will speak well of them, and they will say good things about all their works.” — Picatrix, Pingree edition

“A frog engraved on a beryl, will have the power to reconcile enemies and produce friendship where there was discord.” — Book of Wings, Rabbi Ragiel

Consecrated herbal blend and Anointing Oil from our Mercury in Gemini election, with the addition of witch grass, myrrh, hydrangea root, motherwort, anamu, devil’s shoestring, rattlesnake root, deer’s tongue, witch hazel, honey powder, slippery elm, and blessed thistle. Moss agate, tree agate, labradorite, and emerald. Violet leaf, pink lotus, and angelica root. Variegated green leaf. Two mummified frogs and two frog skeletons (ethically obtained, natural causes).

A subset for the wise selection of word and deed, for reputation management, reconciliation, and greasing the wheels of difficult conversations/ dynamics. The Eirene of the Mercury in Gemini series, except for slyer, and more cunning. For the casting of Mercurial glamours… the “witchiest” of its Mercurial ilk.

Wear or take a smoke bath before social occasions, important discussions, or simply going about your daily business. Good for adding safety rails to the act of socializing, and for solitary endeavors involving writing, contemplation, meditation, or ritual.

Use as an offering, dressing, or fumigant in works of magic toward compatible ends.

Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.

Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.
