Angelos is so wonderful for teaching and writing out difficult concepts. I’ve also found it’s helpful for having uncomfortable conversations and getting thoughts across clearly.

I absolutely hope I can get a backup of this one because it may be my favourite BPAL S&S, both from scent and effects. I travel a lot, and a lot of it is solo travel, so I immediately jumped on this as soon as it was released.
Scent wise it is so good, like a luxurious fancy cologne, but a lot deeper and more complex and without the nauseating effect I can get from the fancy colognes (very important in the context of travelling, I am prone to motion sickness in cars and buses which can be exacerbated by perfume.)
The effects of this were phenomenal-I had an incredibly smooth cross-continental train journey in which I had an empty seat next to me on one train-so more legroom/space to stretch, the trains arriving earlier than scheduled, friendly staff aiding me...even one moment, in a European metro station infamous for being labyrinthine, where I got off the train, only to find the next train I needed next waiting on the opposite platform! And also some intriguing Mercurial syncs on the way (such as the Pierre Herme(s) macaron shop...potential for an offering there? Macarons for Mercury!)
It would be interesting to see if this works during Mercury Rx, as the planet was direct when I tried it. EM was difficult to work with during retrograde, for me at least (YMMV of course) but maybe MG might be different?

This BPAL was super helpful for me + my cat’s travel anxiety during a vet visit and recent work trip, respectively. For my kitty, I dabbed a teensy tiny amount outside her carrier, and she traveled much better than usual. For me, it helped me get through travel obstacles swiftly.

BPALS of Mercury in Gemini

I travel a lot for work and all my travels have been smooth while wearing Talaria. Angelos Athanaton has been very supportive in several writing endeavors: a research proposal, emails and horoscopes:-)

I am always wary of Mercury materia, given my natal (retrograde!) Pisces Jupiter, but this series has brought me so much joy. The oil has been an excellent aid in the bookkeeping and accounting parts of my job that I somehow stumbled into, and keeps me on task (and accurate) without feeling too restricting. This has become one of my favorite tools in my magical arsenal.

I am not a fan of driving. But due to many responsibilities I do, and since beginning my work with Talaria I've been anointing myself before jumping in my car, and I've been having the easiest time getting those errands and drop off done. It's even been-- FUN???? I've also found it very useful when figuring out "next steps" but I'm still working on that part.

The day I ordered this, all of my Mercury activities sped up. When it arrived, things in my very Mercury career (I have a Gemini MC) became very clear to me. This whole election actually has a lot in common with my natal chart…except I don’t have Mercury in Gemini, something I wish I did have! I’ve been able to get my ideas across with a lot of clarity lately and work out some kinks in my creative process. This stuff is great. And FUN! All of my work regarding my ideas and collaboration of ideas has been so much fun.

When you first put on Talaria, it smells like a bright burst of sweet lemon candy. Wonderful!
Upon dry-down, it smells just like the incense in a Buddhist temple.
I wore this in combination with Door-Key and Butter Ocean oils and ended up enjoying an extra evening and morning in Portland on Jetblue's dime after our flight was canceled. Logistics were smooth, and we had a lovely day of luxury that would have been a bleary red-eye rush otherwise.

As a writer, public speaker, and podcaster, I had a sneaking suspicion that ANGELOS ATHANATON was the perfect Mercurial accent for me... especially as the chart has Mercury conjunct my Mars in Gemini! I wore it for a lecture I gave last night and felt that I was even more in my groove than normal... plus!... added bonus... the scent is DIVINE!!
