On its own, this kolonia is energizing, stimulating and makes me more social than I normally am (and invites others to be more social with me). Gemini is my 10H so I find that it’s especially good at opening the way to professional connections. When I combine with VAD materia, it opens the way to forging genuine friendships with others, especially with new connections. I don’t know if I’ll use this kolonia a lot for everyday wear because the effect is more neutral for me, but its way-opening potential makes it an excellent primer for materia that’s more specific to my goals.

I use a few drops of this in my diffuser for important virtual meetings and it hasn't let me down yet! Tech behaving and enjoyable conversations follow.

I loveeeee this Kolonia for misbehaving tech. I've used it several times to fix misbehaving printers, a cell phone that kept dropping calls and a computer that kept crashing. It has a light and fizzy energy that not only helps get tech in line but also boosts mood and overall productivity. Highly recommend!

As a writer, I'm often drawn to Mercury materia more than most other series, and always opt for the kolonias to refresh my energy before engaging in this work. Quicksilver Tongue remains an unmatched blessing in that regard. Exalted Mercury can be helpful when I *really* need to focus and timeliness is a concern, but it can be a bit harsh on my system. Mercury in Gemini, meanwhile, is a lovely middle ground between these two energies, giving me the pep and clarity that QT is sometimes short on, without the rough edges that comes hand in hand with EM. It's an uplifting, lively, friendly energy that can be used for general vibes or to help me along on a writing project. Very refreshing; smells like fresh fennel.

went to a community event that was packed packed with people which is my nightmare but I was able to network with other organizers and stand up & say my thing which I did not think I could make myself do, and best of all, I ran into an old friend who happened to have two separate pieces of really extremely pertinent important and also secret info that they gave me without me even knowing to look for it. I thought that was a great example of how mere-gem feels and works, its not like a bow and arrow you can aim at something the way that exalted mercury kind of works, its a lot less reliable than that except that its reliably full of surprises that are often really great & useful. I am growing t o love it more and more

I love this kolonia for when you have things to do, but also want to keep it light hearted. I found the Exalted Mercury kolonia to be too activating, this one is much more joyful and lighthearted. Yes to enabling the Mercurial things of doing all the things, but maybe less focused on tunneling through. Its probably by itself not as a strong, but grants clearing your slate for more Mercury in Gemini stacking.

This Kolonía makes me feel bubbly and playful, but in a more muted way. This Kolonía doesn’t have a super strong effect on me, but feels like it plays in the background

Kolonias are one of my favorite Forms, and MiG's iteration is super lovely! Makes me feel very clear, free, energized yet calm & just . . . ready. Like, it really prepares you for whatever you want to do, easily & effortlessly eliminating blockages while also bringing your power, skills, talent, competence, agility, acuity, efficiency, etc to the fore. This is, of course, priceless, and isn't just confined to Mercurial pursuits; the kolonia is fantastic to use before indulging in any other activity ruled by separate Powers.

It gives a soft anise scent that is clearing and invigorating. It sets a clear mental state and offers a fizzy buzzy tingle across the surface of the skin. It motivates toward a fun, bright, quick mind for any mental pursuits. Such fun!

This treat of a Kolonia feels (and smells) easy, light, and refreshing! It lightens the energy instantly. After using I feel uplifted, playful, and "fizzy". I shared with my sibling one morning and we both giggled our way through a carpool that day! It brings instant optimism and playful yet focused support.
