Oil of the Quicksilver Tongue
Sundry herbs and ingredients for Mercurial, Venusian, and Jupiterian inspiration and artistry, including white tea, cardamom, coconut, lovage root, sandalwood, sweet pea, celandine, grains of paradise, sumac berry, red clover, passionflower, honey, rue, plantain, deer’s tongue, and orange peel. Ritually harvested oak leaf, lambs ear, and iris petals. Liberty dimes, peacock and macaw feather, forget me nots, alloys of silver + gold (white gold), copper + gold (red gold), fluorite, opaline, and blue opal.
These and more were fumigated and prayed over, immersed in organic jojoba and safflower oils, and left to gestate alongside the rest of the Quicksilver Tongue series since May 21st, 2021. Rosemary, lime, and frankincense.
This is a somewhat subtle and flexible charge (compared to most of our other offerings!) — more of a grower than a shower — something that can be applied for a burst of happy, care-free energy that allows you to enjoy music and art more, socialize and converse in a playful and engaged manner, and leave worries and woes in the wake of a slightly altered-time warp, OR an anointing oil which acts as fuel for the development of Divine Artistry and Great Works over time.
Hopefully all of the above!
Incredibly versatile and yet “blendable” in the ways Mercurial x Benefic influences can sometimes be (it’s easier to remember pain and strife than “you know what… that was a good time that passed by quickly!”), Quicksilver Tongue is a fantastic series for layering with others to potentiate and guide one another’s expression and experience.
Reduces anxious sensations, promotes states of flow, encourages playfulness.
Anoint the self before socializing, or engaging in Art and Artistic processes (whether of your own creation or others). Likewise for any and all instruments of self-expression. The feet for dancers. The throat for singers. The brush for painters. The pen or keyboard for writers. Add to inks, paints, and the like.
Meditate on teachings of the peacock, macaw, precious metal alloys, and opal.
Apply before approaching Muse-figures.
Please note that if one does not choose to devote themselves to Great Works, application is likely to result in the enjoyable passing of time…
Offered in your selection of 1/2 oz standard vial (with optional Dropper Cap Kit), 10 ml fluorite gem or steel roller, and 5 ml Mini.
Note that added gold leaf has changed from white gold and red gold, to white gold and genuine 24k gold.

Love this for when I need to Turn On for any social or speaking occasion where I really want to put my best, most clever and well spoken foot forward. Also amazing for writing and creative projects! Helps words flow and come together with ease and eloquence.
I love this series so much! I use the oil and incense to prepare for recording my podcast, for teaching, and for public speaking. Oh, and also for writing. It helps bring the various spirits of the arts together that we might be sharp, insightful, and wise while attracting a good responsive audience.
My bottle shattered almost immediately after I got it a few years ago. I was so sad and scared I had angered some Power and posted about it in the Client Community. Everyone there assured me the magic would work as it was intended, and that if anything, the bottle breaking was a sign that QST had big things in mind and wanted to get to work. Over the past few years, I have been inducted back into the world of arts and creation more than I had prayed for. This truly delivers and elevates the experience of any art form or enjoyable experience. I hope we get another election like this from S+S some day, because it my be my absolute favorite series!
Put me in an interesting mood when I put it on in Merc’s night and hour. Ideas flowed through me like they didn’t in in a while (major art bloc), will defo use it more!
I tend to be a cranky, distracted mom, so I really appreciate this oil to prepare my mind and attention for adventures and playtime with my children. It gives me a feeling of levity and brings more ingenuity to our interactions. I also tend to meet unexpected turns more grace and interest, rather than with frustration. A blessing for someone who experiences parenting burnout easily!
It’s been a while since I’ve really focused in on my art, though I remember it being fun to work with in the process of planning and creating, too.
I've wanted Quicksilver Tongue because Gemini is my 11th house and it's empty and the ruler of my 11th- Mercury is angular, combust, and co present with Mars (the greater malefic of my chart). So my 11th house topics have always been HARD for me. However this helps me with ALL Gemini related things like studying, talking, socializing, learning new language etc.. It also helps me feel LESS anxious, feel more at easy and relaxed. It also helps me communicate better and easier. As a complete introvert who barely goes out, I needed some help with the times I actually have to go out. I've had Quicksilver Tongue for almost a year now and I love it! I've put it on myself right before seeing my old work friend-colleague and from what I thought would be an hour long meet up- turned out to be 5 hour long great FUN friendly talk! 🙂 I've also used Quicksilver Tongue for my first ever astrology conference here in Prague and even though I didn't talk to anyone there as I didn't know anyone and I'm extremely SHY and anxious overall, it really helped me feel better and enjoy the conference and astrology 🙂 I highly recommend this!!!
It is such a fun oil. Definitely noticed a difference in conversations when used but I think the most interesting effect has been feeling like the time moves slower or faster upon application depending on the day. I am looking forward to using it for creative projects!
I keep this oil handy on my desk for big thinking, inspiration and eloquence with writing and more. It's a lovely boost to my understanding and sharing of so much of the material I work with. Highly recommend!
Quicksilver Tongue is one of my favorites to use, as I have nearly finished my first bottle. It has a light, pleasant, wearable scent. I would say that it supports creativity via “vibes” and pleasure/play and requires layering with something else for focus. Great for musical exploration, creative inspiration, and socializing. I’ve gifted some to a friend to assist in unblocking creative blocks.
The oil of quicksilver is great for creative writing pursuits and for those it layers well with other aerial magical materia, especially Venus in Libra. It can be layered with Saturn in Aquarius for bringing structure to more formal pursuits like writing academic papers, applications or perhaps even dealing with law documents. If writing by hand, a few drops work quite well added to a bottle of ink. I like to anoint it on my fingers when typing on a laptop – perhaps a little too literal and on the nose for some, but fingers are Gemini’s domain after all.
I have been using this oil for years now and it is been such an anchor for my creative process. It really helps me to iterate in the moment whether that's working on my writing or if I'm in a situation where I need to solve a creative problem quickly. This always feels like a means to tap into "being more myself" creatively and I continue to be astonished by how it expedites solving creative problems.
I don't find that the oil strikes me as obviously as the incense does (which I do prefer the scent and noticeable response from), but it is still definitely effective. The biggest effect I feel from this series generally is around time - time moving not too fast or slow, but at a pace you'd hope for/expect, e.g. it takes me the expected amount of time to walk to the train station, the train leaves and arrives on time, events run to time. It does this without feeling obsessive like I imagine a pure Mercury can feel like - it's more like I don't even have to look at my watch because I know things will be running to time.
I sometimes wear this for protection while driving because let's be honest-- people either drive too nice or too aggressively where I live and I just want us all to make it to our destination safely. One day I wore it and my car got scratched, but I wasn't feeling very grounded to begin with. In terms of communicating, I think this is a form of liquid courage or confidence, one that feels like it strengthens my throat chakra or my ability to communicate in a way that can be understood more easily
My favorite part about this oil is that it DOES affect time. Mercurial in a very different way than the Mercury in Gemini series. That one is more integrative, while this one is very breezy and warpy around you rather than into the matter of being. I honestly got nothing from this for creativity and writing. lol. If anything it gave me this “don’t even” look and went on with doing its thing with time. Layered well with lots of others, but as a peeker from behind things. It goes along, even if it doesn’t “get” along. Hours would pass faster. Sets a great bubble in a place as if it has its own air. Can make meditation more mental and assimilating. Quiet for me like too many hands on deck that I don’t need. And, I say that respectfully, not offended, but sort of honoring that this one didn’t prefer me much because we were a bit too much of the same thing, but not in a way THIS one would choose. Mercury overload to a silent sit out. Not unpleasant, but, man, look at the TIME!!! Oh, how it flies to be done with THIS and then go free!
I started off with the attuning tincture as a sort of trial before moving onto the oil in my workings. I can say that the oil is generally my preferred method of applying it whenever possible, now. It feels slightly more potent. Anyway, I've been using this to help with my artwork, as well as other people's artwork. As someone with a whole creative circle of friends, I've been doing muse inspiration spells for all of us by using this materia to anoint sigils, leaves, or other burn-ables during the ritual. It appears to be working very well. Synergizes well with fire magic.
Quicksilver Tongue is my go-to for sparking creativity and smooth communication. It’s perfect for brainstorming or social events, helping ideas flow effortlessly and boosting confidence. A few drops feel like a muse’s whisper, making interactions and creative work feel natural and inspired.
I wanted to write a quick review of this anointing oil after trying to use it on several occasions over the past few years...
I have quite a few S+S oils and they all smell very pleasant or delightful in their own ways, but this oil smells awful to me. 🙁 I don't know why...but it is offputting to the point of ruining whatever musical flow I would otherwise be experiencing because it is distracting. I am very sensitive to scents (meaning I smell everything, not that I have reactions) and will try to find a way to use this oil without smelling it. Maybe I will try just placing the beautiful bottle on my piano!
Subtle and lovely. Nothing is obvious - the fun comes from the places where you forgot to look because it was too obvious. It helps to enjoy the little moments when the sunset hits the golden leaves just right, while the music is playing and you are surrounded by good friends. Life is a journey, not a destination.
This is good for letting go of nerves a bit and enjoying a nice evening of art or music and interacting with others. Gives me a slight intoxicated feel of a few drinks and general positive wit.
I can be very awkward and withdrawn in group situations but when I apply this oil all of that melts away! I am able to easily flow and be myself and contribute meaningful conversation. Magic!
I realllllly wanted to love this oil however the smell makes me feel sick to the point I cannot wear it or use it to anoint items near me (it lingers a lot, pretty sure I have a mild coconut allergy as I've had the same reaction to MCT oil. If you've had similar reactions, please take note! This is the only S+ item I find off-putting ). I was born under domicile mercury, venus and jupiter so I wonder if that has anything to do with my reaction to the oil? Like, we have our own thing going on, get off our turf? Who knows.
As a result I haven't really been able to get a feel for this oil as I had hoped. However, when I reflect, it inspired me to bottle it into mini vials that I made into earrings! Not to mention the enduring inspiration that this oil gives me, like, oh I wonder what would happen if I could really use the oil? Maybe I would be able to finally do this idea, this dream etc etc. It reminds me of my dreams!
Hello Lizzy! We're sorry the smell of the Quicksilver Tongue Oil is difficult to tolerate for you : ( There are two ways you can continue to use and benefit from it while limiting that aspect of things.
The first is to apply it to your feet and then put socks on (the low back is another good place to anoint where you usually can't smell it!).
The second is to use 3rd party magical techniques, just on the self. That could involve putting your hair and nail clippings on a paper or small piece of cloth that you anoint with the Oil and then fold up. You can include a specific petition or other items with this and keep it on your person or an altar. You can also anoint a photo of yourself.
The earrings are also a brilliant idea! Glad you have already found a way to continue benefiting from it <3
I bought two 5ml bottles. I have been creating content, podcasts, and YouTube for 9 years, and trying to find creativity had become a bit complicated. However, using QT made it really easy for ideas to flow and, above all, my tongue didn't stop talking and talking more than usual when I put it in my throat. I also noticed that it made it easier for me to interact with people, since I am somewhat introverted. I combined it with Regulus III or EVII. I ended up giving one of my bottles to a friend and he found it very flattering as well.
If you order to Mexico, try to do it through USPS
Bismiallah Al Rahman Al Raheem. My first experience with Quicksilver tongue was with a friend who pulled me to go read cards + astrology at an event with them. Quicksilver tongue EASILY guides conversation and makes hour long conversations pass in SECONDS-- talk about time loop. Using this in the public sphere where I interact with hundreds of kids and parents all day-- allowing speech to flow smoothly to ease parents and childrens hearts and minds alike has PROVEN to be successful. So much so that my co-workers were BUZZING that I was the highlight of their day (at a particular Open House event).
I got this oil as a gift for my musician fiancé that is a Sun in Gemini and Taurus rising. He loves it, he tells me he feels more eager to create when uses it and this has turned into longer productive studio sessions. He’s asked me to frame Orphic Hymn to the Muses for his studio! I guess its safe to say he and Quicksilver tongue have become besties. I will be getting him the steep and smoke next!
I love quicksilver tongue -- however -- I am starting to realize that I like the tincture more. I find that the oil helps as "lubricant" -- to make events more fun. But I realized that when I try the tincture, I AM fun. I BECOME the playful writer, the loving taunt.
Wowowowow! What a powerful oil of creativity. And not just in the traditional ways via art and music or even writing. Creative ideas for the work you're doing or for the projects you're putting together as well. I put this oil on before a brainstorming session or before I begin my research and the rabbitholes I am brought down to find the most unexpected answers is inspiring!! I find myself whirling with ideas for hours, and I'm easily able to execute on those ideas and sift through what makes sense for what I'm working on. You're able to dive in completely into your desired aims and it's like The Muses are by your side whispering what step to take next. Then, you look up and it's finished! Highly highly recommend for all pursuits to drive innovated solutions to complex problems
This is fast becoming my go to materia. i was recently working on a project, struggling for inspiration. I applied the oil on Mercury, Jupiter and Venus days and the inspiration came through so clearly. I am so grateful.
Quicksilver Tongue is one that I love to layer with Aerial Queen and Regulus. With that combo, I can be the delight of any situation and the charm can be effortless and endless and fun. I also find that this one is really good with helping you be understood. I find being misunderstood frustrating of course, and with this, it feels like I have fun saying what I want, and also it's tailored to what the other person needs to understand me. I also use it for writing (of course). I have the Mercury in Gemini series, and I find Quicksilver Tongue to be less technical and more creative, more inspired by the gods, genius as a visiting of the muses. In general, this series makes words a pleasure. I also find that it lingers in that the verbal skills I pick up with this oil continue to stay and be built on. It's a teacher, not just an aid.
As a writer I apply this oil in the morning when I need to get the words flowing but the inspiration isn't there yet. Quicksilver tongue keeps me sharp!
Much like the incense, so far, I have been deploying Quicksilver Tongue oil at my family's dinner time. I anoint the candles that burn through dinner with the oil and say a prayer that this time together will be joyful! It's really been lovely! My children are small and so mostly it's made dinner run smoother. We all seem to have more patience and enjoy each other's presence more fully. I'm excited to work with this oil for my own creative work.
