Water of the Quicksilver Tongue

The water has been one of my favorite pieces from this series. It smells great and is quick to boost my mood to be in a state of play—great for my creative endeavors or when socializing!

I am so bummed that my little bottle of QT water is almost empty... if there's ever a similar election, I'll be buying the BIGGEST ONE I can get. 🙂

this is an uplifting, enlivening, FUN energy that plays well with my natal Mercury Retrograde + Gemini Full Moon. I love using it before social events, and concerts.

it *may* increase chaos happenings in the right environments and during Mercury Retrograde... I used it before a concert during Mercury Retro, lost my phone during a song where I was returning from the bathroom and the crowd was losing its mind. I prayed to Mercury to return it to me and focused on enjoying the show. it was waiting for me at the customer service desk after the show! and I had an amazing time that night, despite the Hermes-like trickery. 🙂

This water is like pixie dust in a bottle. It smells divine, too. Just a spritz is enough to liven my morning.

Love using this on my altars and with Fomy for more spiritual work that puts me in a *time warp*. Exalted Merc materia acts as a speeder upper of time for me. I blink and hours seem to have passed. With Quicksilver Tongue water it's more hopping time lines and completely not understanding how experiences and time unfolds. Some experiences I barely remember and other seem to overlap and warp. It's lovely.

Ironically, I have no words that seems sufficient to convey how crucial this materia has become for me. I freelance as a copywriter, and a few quick spritzes of Mercury Quicksilver water sharpens my mind and gets the words flowing. It has become a major go-to, and I'm currently re-ordering the 2oz with 1/3 left of my smaller bottle lest I run out.

I use this when I’m going to be in social situations. I have a bit of social anxiety (which I am usually in denial about) and tend to self sabotage by showing a bit too much of an edge or cynicism. Quicksilver Tongue alerts me to the great fun we are all about to have when the conversation starts! Hasn’t failed me yet and has made some stressful situations into great memories and relationship builders.

Whenever I've been on a writing tear and am in that weird place where I'm getting kinda hungry and a little tired but don't want to break my creative streak just yet, this is the stuff I turn to. QT water instantly refreshes me, making my whole body seem to sigh with satisfaction at the first hit of that lovely, soft aroma. It resettles me in my body and allows me to take my sweet time, wrapping things up neatly and satisfactorily. In fact, the time-altering effects really are pretty weird! Time tends to lose meaning when this series is employed, and the water has reminded me of that again and again. Of all my S+S items, this little spray bottle actually seems to be diminishing quickly! Most S+S wares last me way longer than makes any kind of rational sense, but this water is definitely getting used up!

If you are looking for the most beautiful water, Quicksilver Tongue is like a silverly lava lamp once shaken up and just breath-taking to look at!

In terms of its effects, I would recommend using these waters when you want to bring delight and good vibes to a space and your writing. I made the mistake of spraying myself with QT to get some serious writing done (think job applications / performance-based writing). It was the first time I realized how unhelpful materia can be when used for purposes outside its purview! I didn't use this for some time, because I thought it was off or I didn't gel with it. Nope! I just needed to find the right circumstances for it to shine or for me to shine with it.

So be sure to welcome all the good QT wants to bring to the moment and your writing. It sort of demands that you find the joy in it or (in lieu of that) find good vibes in being!

You do not need a special occasion to use this water - it feels really good to spray at any time. It is very helpful for group discussions and finding a common ground with colleagues who might think different than you. This series has an advantage above Venus-only materia in that it is absolutely acceptable to use it in the work-related situations.

This water is pure fun and ease in a bottle. Whenever I want to lighten or brighten up, I spritz with this and enjoy the soft buzz that follows. The scent and shimmer are both delightful in and of themselves, and a sense of play and social connectivity are always awakened and well supported by this water!
