Description: Mercury Retrograde Pocket Ritual Kit Most planets in our solar system have regularly occurring retrograde periods in astrology. Retrograde is when the planet appears to move backward. The outer planets take a longer time to orbit the Sun than Earth does. Due to this reason, the Earth often laps these planets and causes the appearance of those planets to travel backward. Mercury is the most talked-about retrograde period because it happens more frequently than other planetary retrogrades. In astrology, Mercury rules over many daily facets of our lives, including thinking, timing, traveling, communicating, and sharing information. When Mercury is in retrograde, these elements tend not to run so smoothly and can make for a frustrating experience at work and in your social life. Mercury’s power to positively influence our lives is stifled, leading to chaos.

How to use this kit for Mercury Retrograde Protection: Remove the items from the kit, and close the lid to use the case as your platform. Put a few drops of the oil on the candle, then spread a pinch or two of the herbs on the candle to dress it for the ceremony. First, place the bracelet in the middle of the altar. Arrange the four Sodalite stones at the outer corners of your altar, and then place the Aquamarine stones just inside the Sodalite stones. Place the Yellow Jasper to the left and right of the circle. Now, write your intention on the wooden disk and place it in the middle of the bracelet circle. Place your dressed candle on top of the wooden disk. The ritual is one of simply lighting the candle with the expressed, focused intention of seeking the help of the Universe to protect you from Mercury Retrograde. Hold the thought and watch the flame. After a few minutes, you can extinguish the candle and put your ritual kit away to reuse. When you want to repeat the ritual, just add the oil and herbs each time you repeat the ritual and change the intention to what you desire. You can easily replace the candle and use the ritual kit for many years.
