Love the smell of this more than any S+S materia I've used (and that's saying something). INCREDIBLE scent. The moment I opened it and inhaled the hair on my scalp stood up in the most pleasurable way (something that has happened a few times with S+S materia, and is the sign of a very good, very fruitful relationship for me). This is the first salve I've tried (snatched it in the sale) and I am a forever fan of this method of application. For my fellow Mercurials, I find Mercury materia that hits my 10th (like MiG) much more enjoyable than that which hits my ascendant -- asc is much more prone to anxiety effects if not layered and mitigated somehow.

Upon receiving S + S materia, I usually engage with it quietly and offer it a candle during the appropriate hour and day before my first use.

With the MiG salve, I did not do this. Instead, on impulse, I dabbed some on my skin right before dashing out the door to work one morning. That day I had multiple tricksterish occurrences, one of which was me accidentally touching something very gross that had no reason to be where it was. Message received, Mercury!

Several weeks and offerings later, the salve has been awesome at helping me have better mental energy and focus, without the irritability I usually get from stimulants. It helps my fingers to be more nimble for my work as well.

The salve has a good texture, and wonderful smell! That’s something I hadn’t considered before using it. When applied, I would say it’s similar to a body butter but more grounded. I can see why many apply it to their feet, and I think I’m going to try that!

I got this after hearing the recommendation to put it on the feet early in the day to aid in tasks and travel, etc throughout the day and it really is quite lovely. Adds a little pep in my step, a wind beneath my feet if you will. Makes for easeful, charming interactions and quick solutions.

I've favored Exalted Mercury up until now... Mercury in Gemini gives me a much less time warpy, adderall hit of intensity. This series is much more gentle and much less like taking magical speed for me. Glad I circled back to test it out.

I love this salve! I’m a fan of Sphere and Sundry’s Mercury materia in general, which is no surprise, since I’m a writer and Mercury in Virgo rules my natal chart. But I don’t have any Gemini placements, so I was really looking forward to seeing what a Gemini Mercury series would be like for me. And I’m delighted with the results! For me, this salve provides a lot of playful energy that I don’t generally have. I find that I can use it to get a lot done, or just have a fun time and be more creative. It’s very flexible in that way, which is wonderful. (And fitting, given that this is Mercury we’re talking about!) I also found that frequent application didn’t overload my nervous system, which was a big plus for me, since I like to apply Mercury items pretty regularly. And I love the lemony scent of this salve, it’s just so light and sweet! Overall, Mercury in Gemini strikes me as lighter and more easygoing than the Exalted Mercury series, which I also adore. But I’d definitely recommend this Gemini one to anyone who wants some Mercury materia, but found that Exalted Mercury left them feeling frazzled or burnt out. And I’d also recommend it to anyone who wants to feel more playful and experimental in their creative endeavors! I’m very glad I purchased it.

I went to a community event with this and some other gem-merc stuff on recently & the event was packed packed packed (usually my nightmare) and I was nervous but okay and even surprised myself by standing up & saying my thing in front of everyone. Even more impressively, I was there to scout for something and ended up seeing an old friend who had two totally separate pieces of really super essential important helpful game-changing info. this mercury is not like exalted, it is not that reliably well behaved, more like its great for like super handy surprises. im liking it more and more as I go

There's a palpable zingy feeling I get when using this materia. It's cheerful, bubbly and activating. I like how it's an all-purpose Mercury friend that helps to do a multitude of things from opening the way to creating ease and flow in places of blockage. I use it to soften Virgo anxiety and over-thinking as I find it helps me to embrace Mercury in many forms. Helps with diplomacy, strategic thinking and lightening up. It brings out joyful, playful expression which is a healing balm, for sure.

I find this salve pretty gentle, especially compared to the Exalted Mercury series. It's just what I need to not get too distracted during my self-directed work days. It does seem to help me be more productive and connect with my customers more, too. It's easy to use without having to worry about a hard landing at the end of the day, which I appreciate.

I'm wearing it now and I can definitely tell potency when mercury is direct but the feeling is almost nullified during retrograde. Anyone else.? Because I'm buzzing rn. I have mercury in Gemini in my vedic chart which I'm definitely feeling. I notice I'm faster and aglie on my feet too.
