Exalted Mercury Cazimi Heart Oil

As first evidenced by last month’s release of the Exalted Jupiter Cazimi Heart Oil, a first for Haus, every stellar and planetary ware crafted by Haus of Ophidious begins first as a private Heart Oil. These are compounded during a given election and kept solely for the making of future wares, never intended to be offered to the public.

While I had assumed the Jupiter Heart Oil would be the only one I would ever release, the response and results of those working with the Exalted Jupiter Cazimi Heart Oil was too prominent to ignore. So in an exploration of this newly public vein of work for Haus, here are three bottles of the Exalted Mercury Cazimi Heart Oil, made as mother bottles of Heart Oil in full, and added to the shop as swiftly as Mercury moves. These have not been poured off from a larger bottle; each was made independently as its own standalone powerhouse and liquid talisman of the Exalted Mercury Cazimi on August 27th.

The Exalted Mercury Cazimi Heart Oil is an oil for intelligence, eloquence, learning, divination, communication, commerce and financial gain, calculation, writing, negotiation, and the swift movement of information and opportunity. It is suited to workings where the mind must be made sharp and the tongue made swift with grace.

On a practical level, Exalted Mercury Cazimi Heart Oil can be used to midwife into creation any Mercurial talisman, to lend extreme strength and potency to all workings done in the name of this swift messenger, to birth your own oils and charms, and to empower anything that might benefit from the quicksilver grace of Mercury. As a general note on the virtues of Mercury, we may go to this Herald for workings of the mind and tongue; for study and mastery of difficult subjects; for writing, teaching, speaking and negotiation; for divination and the interpretation of signs; for commerce and transactions; for finding the correct words when words are themselves the key; and for any operation in which clarity, intelligence, precision, and swift understanding are required.

As this is an extremely potent oil and a rare glimpse into the inner workings of my personal practice, the list of materia that went into this oil will be minimal in comparison to the over 90 ingredients that are powdered within each bottle. Know well that each bottle contains a single Emerald that was consecrated and fed during the height of the Cazimi, Adder’s Tongue, Carrot, Cinquefoil, Cinnamon, Civet Oil, Dill, Fennel, Fumitory, Heather, Juniper, Lavender, Licorice, Marjoram, Papyrus, Parrot, Parsley, Serpent, Squirrel, Spider, and Vervain.

Each 60 ml glass reagent style bottle of Exalted Mercury Cazimi Heart Oil will arrive with instructions and suggestions for creating charms and oils, empowering all Mercurial workings, and to draw the virtues and influence of Mercury to oneself.
