Customer Reviews
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.
I love the scent, and it's such a cool form for this series. Versatile and sweet!
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!

Jup-Juice
Waters, Sold Out, Jupiter in Sagittarius, 2020 Holiday Grab BagA beloved favorite, given new life just in time for the holidays! Consecrated mulling spices and citrine distilled with a combination of water collected during a thunder storm (8/9/19) and freshly drawn from the underbelly of the earth (well) via two copper alembics, initiated at the start of Jupiter’s hour during the ritual operation and produced until the following hour of Jupiter. This hydrosol was mixed with a small amount of grain alcohol to preserve and left to bask upon the Jupiter altar, stored with the rest of the materia since to imbue its positive characteristics and “program” its charge. Synchronistically, the day the offering photos were staged (+ the day of launching this series), the air was heavy with cloudy white mist (see photo gallery), mirroring the clouds within the freshly distilled liquid and a nod to Jupiter’s rulership over “generous bodily fluids”, including those of... a prolific nature. Shout-out to Zeus’ many offspring. The result is an uplifting, motivating, and utterly delicious spray that can be conveniently applied any time one finds themselves in need of a jolt of good fortune, improved attitude, optimistic stimulation, and good cheer. Note that this is the only offering from the Jupiter in Sagittarius series containing lightning charged components, and is therefore closest to the Lightning Rod series in effect and temperament. Use to set the tone of a space before holiday or social gatherings, as well as ritual. Spray as an offering over wealth altars, or those in devotion to Jupiterian spirits. Stimulating, warming, and motivating. Instills a sense of bright, yet grounded hopefulness, cuts melancholy and helps emotionally reframe anxiety into an exciting sense of potential and possibility. Excellent for application before engaging in brain storming sessions and yang activities for self-improvement and goal achievement, ranging from going to professional development conferences, engaging active self-help practices and materials, running marathons, working out, or networking for opportunities. Or, simply use to help get yourself off the couch and out of an emotional rut. We start from where we're at Arrives in a glass spray bottle with hand drawn Jupiter in Sagittarius glyph and keepsake citrine, available in a 1/2 oz travel or sample size for $28 or full 2 oz for $64 Golden and clear drops of essential oil resulting from the distillation are still present, in some bottles more than others. These are completely natural, not any indication something is amiss.

Jup-Juice Lightning Rod Hydrosol
Waters, Sprays + Hydrosols, Sold Out, Jupiter’s Lightning RodWater from a rushing river was freshly collected to be used as the base in a Jupiter hydrosol, initiated in the hour of Jupiter on the Thursday he entered Sagittarius. Offerings of carrots and compliments were graciously accepted by a horse in exchange for tail hair, which was combined with some from a man’s head, fusing a symbolic centaur, the chimera representing Sagittarius, out of the alchemical distillation. The still pot also included saffron, the world’s most expensive spice, fulgurite (a gemstone created by lightning strike), lapis lazuli, four acorns, oak bark, cinnamon, allspice, clove, orange peel, and other Jupitarian herbs. It smells of mulling spices simmering away on the stove, or freshly baked spice bread, making it the perfect accompaniment for the cold and holiday seasons. This, along with the candle, are the gentlest offerings in the Lightning Rod series, emphasizing Jupiter’s moist and nurturing aspects. Spray for motivation, courage, and inspiration, to draw good luck and opportunity, and break through limitations. Apply before doing rituals for such things, or going into job interviews or other important events where opportunities may manifest. Will likely prove medicinal for those afflicted by dark, hopeless states, as Jupiter is the planet of positivity. Gently warming and invigorating, good for building healthy blood and supporting liver function. Each glass spray bottle features a chunk of lapis lazuli. Available in a 1oz spray for $28 or a 2oz for $56.
I’ve been using this water for a lonnnngggg time and it has been so potent when running my dnd campaign! Words just come to me easily (despite my Pisces Mercury) and I feel supported in a very imaginative way using this lovely concoction!
My writing partner and I really had such incredible communication and finished the first draft of our project while actively using this. I’ve been able to sit for hours and just have joy in my writing.
A buzzy little jolt of clarity, I enjoy this spray when I need to create and co-create. The smell is also enjoyable, it definitely doubles as a nice, subtle perfume.
This stuff is unreal. I love the cosmetic and metaphysical aspects. I would spray it on me and my partner before social situations and often the ‘time skipping’ would be real. Jovial, playful, and fun!
This was my first S+S purchase. Felt fitting as a Gemini Sun and Mercury native. This spray has a light, bright, and playful energy which is perfect for socializing as well as writing. I had some daunting essays to write as part of school applications and these waters made the whole process a lot more accessible, less heavy. I think when it comes to writing, this is a great tool to use if you struggle with your inner critic getting in the way of your words. I found that ideas flowed a lot more freely, and it allowed me to save the editing part for later, as opposed to editing myself before I’ve even gotten the words out. Excellent for anytime when you want to have your sharpest wits about you without losing your sense of humor and fun.
This water is potent! The best way for me to describe it is to give an example: I used it the first time on myself late at night. I realized there was going to be a livestream marathon the next day I wanted to watch (AGDQ), and thought about cross stitching while watching. The next day I woke up way earlier than I usually do to catch the start, which I’ve ever done before, and I cross stitched for 10 hours that day. I made progress with blistering speed! The day after I thought, oh there’s no way that was QST’s influence, that was a coincidence. I attempted to keep working on my project, but was distracted and tired as usual and maybe got in 15 minutes of real work. There’s something about this that just smashes all your art blocks and puts you in a state of flow. Can’t recommend it enough!
So for me, I feel like potency/ease to work with goes from water – kolonia/tincture – oil/powder, so the QST spray is probably the most accessible form for QST (and mind you QST was already accessible to begin with). It’s also the lightest in potency for me, and really seems about facilitating verbal conversation. I would definitely spray this around work spaces.
I love this water, I got it to see if I vibed with this series and it has far surpassed my expectations. I find myself wanting to create art again after years of feeling unmotivated. My partner and I had a lovely time conversing and unwinding at the spa, and I find myself much more willing to let go and be playful in my day to day. I can’t wait to get more from this series!
I absolutely love the Quicksilver tongue series, this water smells amazing and it is soo pretty, i love the color but more than that i love the relaxed and carefree, joyous attitude when i wear it. I feel more creative and a lot more social.
Quicksilver made manifest! Love to use the spray to open the metaphorical window on date nights with my partner. Seemingly new conversations are lively and engaging and the ‘time warp’ or losing track of time is definitely present.
This water is by far one of my favorite products. It is also extra atheistically pleasing! I am in the process of writing a book and this water helps the words flow. Literally!
