Body Butter of Exalted Mercury

This body butter has a slightly herbal but mostly neutral scent, and it has a profound moisturizing effect on dry skin. When I apply it to my legs, I am able to walk greater distances (and with less pain!) than normal. Super helpful for those of us with task initiation issues, as well.

Invigorating lemongrass scent and light, whipped texture. I like to apply body butters and salves right out of the shower, apply on chakra points, and let the oil melt before rubbing in.

This provides a +1 boost to focus, especially when dealing with minor and administrative tasks. May create tunnel-vision. Don't forget to look after your body and leave your head once in a while.

I'm careful not to overdo this since I'm naturally mercurial, and it definitely does the trick with stimulating my mind! Really enjoy this. It's less intense for me than an earlier series mercury oil

This stuff is legit. I'll put it on in the morning before work if I know I've got a busy day ahead of me, if I was out late the night before and am running low on sleep, or if I just need a pick-me-up for the day. It gives me all the productivity of caffeine without most of the side effects! I agree with the listed warning that it can sometimes make me a bit more easily distractible, but once I set myself on a project or projects with this stuff on, I was able to get so much done that I kept surprising myself. My only gripe is that the body butter is a bit too greasy for my tastes, but that's probably on me for not picking the most personally ideal piece from this line to try. This issue was also countered by the fact that it smells GREAT and you really do get a ton of product for the price, even if you get the smaller size like I did. 100% recommend.

I found that using this all over my body is a little bit overwhelming (because of its scent profile). But lathering it on my legs and feet before I set off for the day has been a good middle ground. The effects I have seen appear in my life is that I am a little bit too chatty which I had not anticipated (nor particularly strive for). There definitely is a way to go before I get a sense for how best to use it- because it has not lent much in the way of supporting my writing projects and organising of my literature, which I had hoped for. I do feel that the significations associated with this Materia has not manifested for me so immediately and clearly in my engagement with it (esp compared to some others like Cap II, Butter Ocean and VAD) but that could do with my having Mercury in the 2nd and ruling cadent houses. This was also one of my first body butters, so it may also be the kind of Materia that is impacting the duration of time it is taking to familarise with this sphere. Alas, only time will tell how I get on!

This makes me feel like the Energizer Bunny-- hopped up and ready to go, but also silky soft. Definitely helped me get through a period when ADHD meds were short and I had a huge project to get through. It works best for me with layering-- a little spritz of the EM water, a little drop of the tincture-- but on its own it is very good for a quick boost of energy without the same level of buzzy anxious "GOTTA DO IT RIGHT NOW" feeling as the more intense EM materia.

Wonderful smelling, energizing! Love it.

This body butter smells amazing and is nice and silky. I keep it on my Mercury altar in my office, and apply it to my hands and forearms on days when I need support to focus and power through tasks. I think it has a bit more staying power than the kolonia but honestly I love them layered together. As I mentioned in my kolonia review, EM materia isn't enough to totally overcome my ADHD resistance to starting tasks, but if I can use mundane coping tools to get myself started, this series will help me lock in to a flow and really get a lot done. (It can go a little too far, with a "just one more thing" mentality-- I often end up working way later than normal when I use it, so pay attention to a healthy stop time.)

While i use most S+S in the evening, this one is absolutely delightful treat to brighten up your morning. Had also successfully applied mid day for getting back in the groove.

I really love this body butter! First off, I LOVE the smell of this! Really, the smell alone makes me feel good and motivated. I put this butter on when I need to present myself to the world and be well spoken. I also wear it when I have a day that will will involve a lot of use of technology. The results for me have been quite successful!
