While forward motion often proves difficult during a Mercury retrograde, it is a perfect time to revisit and re-evaluate positions and tactics so that when the Heavenly Messenger goes direct, we'll be ready.
This spell reverses the direction of a bad situation and brings balance.
You will need:
An orange candle
A blue candle
A nail or Implement to carve into the candle wax
Olive oil
Cinnamon powder
Dried lavender
Using the nail or implement, carve into each candle the astrological symbol for mercury, along with a symbol or word that represents your problem.
With olive oil, dress the candles, the orange one while focusing on attraction and then the blue one with a focus on banishing.
Dust, roll, or sprinkle the orange candle with lavender and the blue one with cinnamon.
Place candles and holders side-by-side on your altar. Light them both while saying:
Reverse, retrace, revisit, reframe,
Rebalance, regain, remember, rename
Rekindle, relight, reforge, reshape,
Retry, remark, and resolve
Let the candles burn down safely. Meditate or do divination to determine how the situation will evolve when Mercury finally goes direct.
Carry both a red tiger-eye and a hematite with you at all times. The tiger-eye gathers scattered energy and the hematite grounds and transforms it into positive, usable force.
Affirmative Chant to Balance the Physical and Spiritual
As within, so without
My Harmony exists throughout.
I am one with both these worlds
Within the two, my spirit twirls.
To Maintain Balance
Carrying or wearing a double terminated crystal or a Herkimer diamond helps to maintain perfect balance between the physical and the spiritual realms.
Chakra Balancing Bath
Add a quart of beer to a full tub of warm water. Lie down in the tub and relax.
Chant:
Yeast and hops, balance and clear
Chakra blockage front and rear
Wash them away from head to toe
As I will, now make it so
Stay in the bath as long as you like. Let the water dry naturally on your body.
I have been meaning to put this together, so I apologize for the delay. There can be adaptations to fit your needs if you decide to try this. I have been working with music instead of an incantation.

Backstory: A friend of mine wanted additional help with an emotional balance spell. I asked for the nature energy she feels the most comfortable with (comfortable rainy day in the mountains), for her to clear her mind and tell me the color she sees (lavender), and what type of balance she was hoping for (comfort with herself even with everything going crazy around her). The reason I asked for these is to help me tailor the spellwork.
Materials:
1 wide bowl
3 quartz/crystals (amethyst, rose quartz, hematite in this case)
2 candles, preferably in a candle container (blue and green in this case)
Collected rainwater
Lavender (dried in this case)
Pick a song to channel (True Colors (Trolls Soundtrack) in this case)
Spellwork:
Step 1: Gather materials and place in a safe and quiet area to work. Because this spell is calming, find a comfortable area to sit. Safety first, especially when it comes to flames. The music can be on your phone, stereo, tv, etc, or you can listen through headphones. Place the bowl in front of you with the crystals inside. They do not need to be in any particular order. The candles should be placed above the bowl and lit. Sprinkle the lavender over the flame and around the candle.
Step 2: After lighting the candle and sprinkling lavender, bring out the collected rainwater. I place a few (five-seven) drops over each of the crystals. Focus on the goal of the emotional balance. Start meditating on the scene of comfort (example: sequoia forest clearing with a lightest of rainfall). Get into a comfortable position (sitting, lying down while being mindful of the candles) that you can be in to clear your mind.
Step 3: It is time to start the music. You can choose the focus of the music on the beat, the lyrics, a song that gives you goosebumps and a sense of calm, or whatever the tailored spell requires. Breathe steadily. In your scene of comfort, focus the energy to the shape of the person (you or someone else depending on the spell). Picture the energy as pulsing and tense, confined to the shape. As the song goes on, expand the energy. Allow it to move and twist and swirl like a storm. The swirling should come down like a wave, lapping against the bowl and moving into the water. The crystals should absorb the negativity that is plaguing the energy.
~If the balance is for you: visualize yourself sitting or standing across from you, the energy in your “shadow” torso. Picture it expanding out, the negative moving into the water and being absorbed by the crystals.
~Balance for someone else: visualize the shape of them sitting or standing across from you. The energy will expand out and move over the rainwater, being absorbed by the crystals.
Step 4: As the song ends, visualize and feel the energy snap back into your “shadow” self or the person you’re helping. It should feel that the energy has calmed instead of it being a storm. Do as many times as needed (on average is twice for me). Once you (the practitioner) feel balanced, focus on the candle light. Take in and release a deep breath and make sure to feel the calmness settle around you. Carefully extinguish the flames with drops of rainwater and ground yourself.
The Spell Is Complete
I hope that this spell helps anyone else. This is my first time writing a spell out, so if there is anything that is confusing, please let me know so I can try and clarify.
A sea-witchery themed spell for all my witches out there who find their emotions sometimes hard to control; like the waves of an angry sea, you shall find peace after the storm
By Rainy-Day-Witchcraft
Materials:
2 concave seashells (clam/clam-shaped shells work best)
2 quartz crystals
1 White Candle
Sea salt
Coriander
Lavender
Tip: Good stones for tranquility include lapis lazuli, amethyst, moonstone, sodalite, topaz, celestite, amber, and aquamarine. If you have two of these stones and prefer to swap them with the quartz, feel free!
Spellwork:
Step 1: Gather all of your materials together in a safe and comfortable area where you will not be disturbed. Because this spell focuses on reaching a calm and balanced meditative state, you’ll want to choose somewhere you can comfortably sit throughout the spell ~ A bed, reading nook, meditation area, or room would work well.
Place the white candle directly in front of you and light it. Off to the side, mix or grind together the lavender, coriander, and sea salt in a small bowl. Once this is done, sprinkle your herbal mix onto and around the candle ~ Try to get quite a bit on the top where the flame will reach it.
Step 2: After you’ve prepared your candle place it back in front of you, light it, and get into a meditative position; this can be sitting up cross-legged, or lying on your back. In outstretched hands, place the two seashells in each palm, and the two stones in each seashell.
Tip ~ To best support your back and promote energy flow, sit halfway on a small pillow or blanket to slightly elevate your spine!
Step 3: Prepare yourself by reaching a meditative or calm state; clear your mind as much as you can, and breathe steadily ~ in through your nose, out through slightly parted lips, at a constant pace.
Once focused enough, visualize yourself amidst a stormy ocean, waves crashing violently at your feet, with your arms outstretched to either side with the seashell and stone in both. Image a ripple beginning at your feet and expanding outward over the water - as it passes, the sea calms, until all water over the horizon is no longer storming.
When the water has calmed, focus on the objects in your palms; feel the push and pull the stones create in your energy. Feel yourself being pulled one way, pushed back the other, over and over until the opposing forces neutralize themselves and leave you balanced in the center.
Once you feel fully balanced, allow your consciences to return to the physical world. Open your eyes and focus on the glowing light of the candle. As you do, say:
From stormy seas I have emerged
From chaos and unrest my mind has been purged
I now will go with balanced energy,
Emotions ceasing to cloud my gaze
I am balanced, I am calm, I am in control
So mote it be
Carefully yet swiftly clasp your two hands together, joining the shells (it’s alright if they don’t align properly!) and ground yourself ~ The spell has been completed! Save the stones and shells to hold while meditating, cleanse them to use for other spells, or throw them into a jar along with the rest of your herbal mixture for an on-the-go balance spell.
