I can safely say this is one of my absolute favorite S+S offerings. I love her so much. This is the only product of which I’ve hoarded multiple backups because of how effortless and effervescent it makes me feel. I think there’s some kind of synergy with my super Gemini-laden chart but even other people have noted feeling especially quick-witted, playful, and creative when trying the tincture. The absinthe taste also adds to why it’s such a beloved one for me. I really hope S+S can find another election to give us this kind of goodness again someday, because the results have been like no other combined-power materia I’ve tried!
It has a really subtle energy to it, but I started using it consistently to help power creative work parties with me and friends while doing art and such. I think it's been a bit of a help for people getting their muse together.
Subtle and fun. All QT materia make me appreciate the act of doing art, sosialization etc for the sake of doing - it’s the journey, not the destination. What a refreshing, novel idea in a world that measures success by numbers.
Every single day a drop or two in my morning coffee. QT is a precious vitamin for my creativity and even if I’m going through a rough time, I stay creating every day, even on a micro-scale. Vital.
This tincture unlocked my creativity in a way I haven't experienced since childhood. I never even thought of myself as a creative person, at least as an adult, until I started using this tincture, and since then I have discovered watercolors, collage, started journaling regularly, and I'm working on my own oracle deck!
I drop this one directly on my tongue before I give interviews, and it is wildly helpful. Folks regularly comment on how engaging and charming I am when I use this tincture on my tongue! I also love adding this to coffee along with a few drops of the Exalted Mercury tincture - the latter is like rocket fuel for my brain, and this one helps channel that rocket fuel into words. Particularly, writing. In fact, when I ordered this, I did so for a writing retreat with my bestie. I thought I ordered it in time but it had not arrived when we left. I was so bummed! But others in the community assured me that the magic would already be with me, and I truly feel that it was. in 4 days I knocked out an entire book proposal. Four days! Truly an excellent ally for use when your words really matter!
This tincture is of course the perfect ally for all creative pursuits, but I've also found it to be a wonderful addition to party cocktails to ensure a fun and engaging time is had for all. The conversations are electric and the laughter is effortless. The music that plays is even enjoyable and the food, more delectable.
QST is incredibly special and is one of the easiest ways to access the divine creative, at least in my experience. It's just such lovely energy with all the benefics represented. I use QST all the time for floor washes, spell work, and clearing negative energies - works a treat! The tincture itself is the easiest way to tap into and attune to these spheres - the taste is delicious and it also provides an incredible oooomf when i add it to my floor washes. Everyone in my family is happier, more positive and chatty in the rooms I've used this in - it's a favourite.
Quicksilver Tongue is really special. Initially, I wasn't compelled to engage with it until I read the writeup a few times (it's always worth doing this to get the most out of materia). I used this before an art class and it really helped things flow.
This tincture is a sleeper hit for me, I reach for it all the time & just had to repurchase! I use it when I need to be funny & charming, social and “on.” It eases social anxiety & helps me be my best self when I’d rather be home under the covers. Not at all “speedy” like some of the other Mercury materia I’ve tried. It’s smooth yet sparkly, with a nuanced-yet-definitely-still-there pulse of mischievous Mercury energy running through it. I’ll be sad when it’s gone forever!
Creative ease in a bottle. I associate the palate of this licorice infused potion with instant inspiration and the warm bodily infused sensation of being at ease with myself, and access to the higher realms of inspiration. It all flows effortlessly once the Quicksilver slides past the tongue and into the realms of heavenly inspiration.
I used this tincture to help write the first draft of my novel and the words just flowed out of me. My Virgo Ascendant wants me to edit! edit! edit! but that is not the type of energy needed when working a first draft. As others have mentioned, it is key to tapping into creative energy.
I should also mention that Gemini is my 10th house and I slathered myself in the QST oil and tincture before a final job interview. Suffice it to say: I got the job!!! The Gemini Mercury and Venus in this election certainly helped me. QST is MAGIC!
I find all QST materia to be wonderful for inspiring creativity. I have used the bath salts, oil, incense, spray, and tincture to great effect. I consistently use QST with Bard Queen while doing my daily creativity work and I feel like I am more open and more embodied with my creativity than before. In addition, the prayers to the muses and to QST included with the QST materia really speaks to my heart and soul.
This tincture has a nice, complex licorice flavor and I find it really useful for getting into flow states, especially when combined with Venus' Aerial Delight. I'm also have my own natal Mercury deficits and I've noticed when I use this tincture (either a couple drops on the tongue, or between the eyebrows or on the crown), I have an easier time finding the right words for the ideas I'm trying to convey.
This is a beautiful tincture, it is a really harmonious blend and is excellent for inspiration, dreaming and feeling in tune and at ease with the creative flow. I love how all the planetary elements blend together and it is really nourishing as well. Encourages play.
I reach for this tincture often. - it is the perfect blend of creativity, playfulness, and social lubricant. It easily goes between blissful hours of solitude in creative pursuit to easy breezy cocktail hour full of interesting conversation. Also great paired with Regulus for public speaking.
Have been using it to beautify and reorganize my space while in a period of creative chaos. In which I’ll simultaneously paint, write and clean, buzzing around my room like a bee amidst flowers. At the end of the day, I have made much progress on mundane tasks (cleaning) as well as creative endeavors, things that usually stall me if I try to sit down and tackle them individually. I love how it makes me flow between them with pleasure and lucidity, and the artistic/aesthetic multitasking is fantastic inspiration for my chart ruler Venus in Gemini.
It took me a long time to understand what Quicksilver Tongue did. It never increased my creative outputs or budged my current art blocks. However, QST in necessary when I work with more intense energies for deep self-healing, to prevent burnout. Much of my issues are rooted in childhood and not being allowed to exist as a kid. QST has taught me that the element of play is very important for my recovery from childhood neglect.
This tincture has an oddly pleasant anise flavor to it that lingers on the tongue and I don't hate it despite not really loving anise. It's... Tasty. I took 3 drops of the QS tincture, sat down on the sofa, and immediately felt like Alice in Wonderland. This is another time warpy series for me in an incredibly relaxing way. I felt comfortable and relaxed and drifted off into an awake trance of sorts. I'm going to try a few drops at bedtime to help with dreams
This is by far, my favourite tincture! The smell is wonderful and it never fails to uplift me. This is my go-to tincture for stress relief and for fortification when I need to be in social situations. I dab a little on my forehead and the back of my neck and instantly notice a feeling of elated relaxation. It's been such a blessing through the dreary winter. This tincture alters my mental state in a way that supports my mental health and leaves me feeling more optimistic and creative. In my opinion, it's great for curbing stress-related cravings and for supporting introverts in social settings. I notice that little things don't bother me so much and I even delight in the trickster joviality that this tincture seems to embody. I also have the oil, which is nice, but the tincture really hits home for me. As a benefic triple mix, I use it daily as a versatile self-care staple. It's definitely worth stocking up on this tincture!
I absolutely love this tincture. Writing used to be SO torturous for me. I started to use the tincture right when I got a writing gig, and now I know how to make anyone laugh or cry with my words. I reached a new level of writing. I have the confidence to express anything with words. Love love love this tincture.
Induces flow state quickly after application, I found this works much quicker than oil and I prefer it for a solitary endeavours despite all other products in this series are very social. Excellent help for journaling or dream analysis. It taste and smells nice too.
This was my first tincture purchase, and I really appreciate how easy it is to use and how nice it makes me feel. I use a drop on my tongue early in the day for easy-going business and fun. I also use it in a diffuser when I have company, and it always facilitates an enjoyable time. The price makes it a great first choice for materia, if you haven't tried a series before.
I can only ditto everyone else's sentiments here. It's just a gorgeous series, and I can't wait to compare it to the Mercury in Gemini series. Something I appreciate about this tincture is how it is helpful for "attuning" - but in a more lasting way. I'll put a few drops of this at the crown of my head (it does feel kinda weird but...) and it always leads to s0me of the easiest / smoothest creative conversations for me. I love QST and this tincture has to be one of the highlights.
My favorite tincture, easy! Delicious, a of all. I put a single drop in my coffee and it gives Italian anise cookie. Definitely a touch altering, too, and fast-acting. Makes for a rapid trip into the zone for creativity that lasts for a couple of hours at least. Fantastic creative writing companion, great for visual art, too.
This is one of my FAVORITE series. Whenever I feel like things have become too ordinary or my creativity feels stifled, I reach for QST and have the most amazing adventure, both mundane and magical. I have so many experiences with this from going to an outdoor sculpture park and seeing a whole lot of colorful/fairy magic while there to creating trippy psychedelic vibe art and psychedelic journeying - this series vivifies life. I can’t recommend it enough and will absolutely purchase more materia from this series when I run out because it’s such a gem!
Among its many other delightful qualities, Quicksilver Tongue provides incredible social support for the reluctant introvert. If you’ve ever felt that “too-much-people-time” emotional hangover from large gatherings and parties (even ones where you’re having a great time!) QT can help, in my experience. A glittering enchantment of a series. Thanks Kaitlin and crew for yet another potent and efficacious offering
Kaitlin's description of QT is highly accurate. It's quite a curious ride. So I have ADHD, and in some ways QT is like an ADHD force multiplier. Now some people might assume that's a criticism, but no way--while there are challenges with ADHD, the fun parts (creativity, hyperfocus, non-linear thinking, among others) are magical and *awesome.* This tincture amplifies those for me.
Through reading about the QT election, I discovered that I have a natal Saraswati Yoga. My Mercury is also out of bounds and conjunct my MC, but in detriment, and along with some other aspects it makes, the result is that my Mercury is both incredibly demanding and wildly unpredictable. I feel like QT enhances the positive aspects of these configurations--there's a smooth flow to it and a sparkling playfulness. I would say it's an altered state of consciousness, but not like any other I've ever experienced. As others have written, it's great for social situations. I have been curious how this will pair with Venus' Aerial Delight, but I'm worried it might make me TOO devastatingly witty and charming (lol).
The only potential caution I would offer, and this may only apply to other ADHD kids, is that it will amplify your focus, so, you know, if you're driving or doing something else where you could potentially get dead, try to make sure at least some of that focus is actually on the danger thing and not just the sparkles.
Kaitlin did not lie in her write-up when she said that this series is a "grower". I bought this tincture for multiple reasons: I'm in the process of getting a tattoo and I want my artist to have good inspiration, I like to write, I like to journal, and I like to create art for fun.
My very first time with this series is what I described as "taking a charisma potion". There was a smoothness with socializing that I do not have naturally and interactions that normally drain me like small talk became much easier.
I bought this series mostly for my writing but my focus ended up being on art. I've been interested in art for my entire life but the last time I remember being this devoted to it was when I was a teenager. I thought when I purchased the QST tincture that if I fell into art, it'd be solely for fun.
I did not realize the time I'd spend pining over art supplies. The time I'd spend looking up calligraphy tutorials, the way my calligraphy got better, neater, more consistent once I regularly began partaking in this tincture. I didn't realize that a purchase of cheap watercolors and a brush would throw me head-first into an obsession with learning watercolors and wanting to paint in ink. I looked at art classes at a local university and felt sad when I didn't see anything specifically devoted to watercolors. When I had money to spend recently, for the first time in years, I didn't look at Sphere and Sundry but instead I looked at art supplies.
If you're picking a form of materia, the tinctures bring something out of you. They unfurl parts of you that you thought were dormant in incredible, powerful ways. You can feel the tinctures take root and eventually blossom. Quicksilver has done that with my interest in art. I went into this series hoping it'd help me with my writing goals. I think it might do that someday, but my soul is telling me to ride this wave. I think QST is awakening parts of me I've been neglecting for all these years.
This is one of those series that really consistently and strongly comes through for me. The way it helps spark and sustain creative outflow comes as no surprise, but the way it facilitates and sustains my ability to operate in social situations does. It’s like borrowing the powers of an extrovert for a time; not that I become more gregarious, as such, but more that I’m not drained by a higher intensity of socialability than I typically am. One of my favorite recent series (I mean, what’s not to love?). I’ve used it both on my person and mixed in with art materials, with very satisfying results. Thank you Kaitlin + crew for making such a good one.
