" Mercury is also the God of Symbolic Crossroads. This reminds us how important it is to be open minded when we stand at a Crossroads in life. Mercury reminds us that keeping our minds open to as many choices as possible is the best way to face the unknown.

Mercury, You Cosmic Winged Messenger of the Gods
blazing, celestial son of King Zeus and Maia
to the Romans you were Hermes
and the God of all inspiration and new ideas
your mercurial nature like Quicksilver
made you impossible to grasp or capture
flexibility and ingenuity were your key qualities
virtues which all main players today
should emulate and utilize
to be successful in the cut and thrust of life
like the great Ulysses in the Odyssey
you used wile and cunning
to extricate yourself from predicaments
like the colossal Socrates
you had a daemon at your side
both your alter ego and guide
you were constantly in battle with Duality
that evil twin that resides within us all
that mortal engagement
to reconcile light with dark
as you stand at the crossroads of life
honour him by placing your tile
at all these pivotal convergences
observe his magical cadecues staff
that embraces the warring factions within
that rod of two intertwined snakes
as he presides over commerce and trade
with his purse filled to the brim
and his winged feet that carries him far
thou art indeed the door to Infinity
