The Hermetic Principles

☿Mercury

The three alchemical principles · Spirit, the vapour

In alchemy's tria prima, the spirit — the volatile, connecting principle of mind and movement.

Mercury reads as the go-between in you: the quick, restless mind that carries messages between body and soul and shapes itself to whatever it meets. It reminds you that this gift for movement is also a gift for connection, though it settles best when given somewhere to land.
