This spell aims to remove blocks that would prevent us from effectively communicating our desires during Mercury retrograde. Here we will express ourselves on paper and use that as a means to distill our intentions and convey them magically to the intended recipient.

You will need:
• A pen and paper
• Dried lavender flowers
• Dried mint
• A blue candle
• A cauldron or fire-safe ash pot

Ground and center. Focus on the person (or persons) for whom this communication is necessary. Call out their name three times. Now write down whatever it is that you wish to convey to them. Express your absolute needs and boundaries, whatever it is that you need them to understand. Sprinkle the paper with the dried herbs and fold it in half, three times. Carefully burn the paper in the flame of the candle and then put it in the cauldron or pot. Scatter the ashes to the wind.

Now, when communicating further on this issue, remember the clarity with which you wrote, and draw from that experience to better elucidate your thoughts.
