There’s probably somebody you want or need to talk to. Wednesday (mercredi in French) is Mercury’s day, so ask the fleet-footed god of communication for help.

First, determine what you want or need to tell the person with whom you need to communicate. Write it down, “speaking” clearly and courteously. Set up your altar with a blue (the color of the throat chakra = communication) candle and a clean sheet of paper.

Using this paper, fold a paper airplane. Write your name, the name Mercury, and the name of the person you want to communicate with on one side of the paper airplane. Draw arrows from your name to Mercury to the person’s name. On the other side of the paper airplane, write what you want to say. Launch the paper airplane into the air. Visualize the person receiving your message and nodding. Visualize your conversation. When you finish, burn the airplane (safely) and bury the ashes outside.
