Why a ritual? We find that a simple practice you perform every day for at least 7 days ensures you take the time you need to reflect, reassess, and thoughtfully take stock of your goals, how you're approaching them, and even the spiritual environment you're existing in. Because you’re being required to perform a specific practice for the entire duration of Mercury Retrograde, you begin to train yourself to slow down, reflect, ponder all of your power and potential instead of any “problems” caused by such an infamous astrological phenomenon.
What is Mercury Retrograde exactly? Is Mercury literally orbiting backwards? Mercury retrograde is when the planet Mercury appears, from our perspective on Earth, to be moving backwards. However, it isn't actually moving backwards. It's a visual phenomenon that's similar to when you're driving very close to another car on the highway, both going at the same speed.
Other planets "go retrograde." Why is Mercury Retrograde so important? Mercury symbolizes communication, above all. It affects our relationships (whether romantic, with family or friends, work, even the relationships we have with ourselves). When Mercury goes retrograde, it's believed to affect us the most because Mercury is the closest planet to Earth! There's power in that proximity.
What's horehound, and why is it included in this kit? Horehound is an herb that helps with mental clarity and focus. It has protective properties and is associated with the planet Mercury, making it perfect for your Mercury Retrograde practices.
Due to the nature of the crystals, Selenite plate and herbs, they will all differ very slightly in color, shape, size and pattern.
