Reverse and Rebalance
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.
For when he does, you need to be ready!
