Wednesday Magic
Mercury, Gemini, Virgo, and the Current of Mind and Message
“Words are spells. Mercury reminds us that every letter is a blade, every message a ripple.”
The Tone of Wednesday
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, flavored by Gemini and Virgo. This is the day of messengers, scribes, traders, tricksters, and thieves. It is the current of speech, paperwork, and intellect, and it moves faster than most witches can catch.
Mercury oversees all communication, spoken, written, digital, psychic. If you’re having trouble being heard, if paperwork has stalled, if you’re waiting on a response — Wednesday is the day to stir it.
It’s also the day of cleverness. Own your intellect. Sharpen your tongue. This is the day for wit, for words that sting, for ideas that fly. It’s also the day to notice what your body and mind actually need. Mercury is psychopomp and trickster both, he’ll tell you to rest when you need it, and he’ll shove you forward when you’re dragging.
Practical? Absolutely. Wednesday is prime time for:
Court work (paperwork, contracts, petitions).
Travel charms and blessings.
Divination (especially written forms like runes or bibliomancy).
School and study work (tests, applications, learning).
Colors for Wednesday: purple, dark blue, gray.
Crystals: aventurine, opal, chrysocolla.
Love & Relationships
Love without communication dies. Mercury governs connection, not romance itself, but how you express it.
Wednesday is a perfect day to:
Open lines of communication with a partner.
Deliver messages of affection (gifts, notes, small surprises).
Heal miscommunication and restore clarity.
Practical tip: Instead of only speaking your feelings, send them, flowers, a card, a playlist, or a text infused with intent. Let Mercury carry the message.
Wealth & Abundance
Mercury rules trade, exchange, and the flow of money.
On Wednesdays, work for:
Prosperity through cleverness.
Opportunities to flow faster (business, freelancing, sales).
Good fortune in negotiations.
The Prosperity Box
Find a box (shoebox, Amazon package, whatever).
Decorate it with abundance symbols, sigils, mirrors inside for amplification.
Each Wednesday, add items that represent wealth to you (coins, charms, fake checks).
For one week, “deposit” play money or real money into the box. At week’s end, don’t spend it, but imagine spending it in every way possible. Shop online carts, fill wish lists, visualize purchases.
This practice tells the cosmos you’re ready to receive and circulate abundance. Keep adding, keep imagining, and keep doors open.
Protection
Mercury protects through cleverness, deflection, and diversion. This is the day to ward against gossip, slander, or trickery.
Work for:
Stopping gossip and lies.
Travel protection charms.
Redirecting harmful energy so it “wanders away.”
Practical charm: Work with tumbleweed. Sprinkle pieces around your home perimeter on Wednesday, programming it to catch and carry away those who mean you harm.
Healing
Wednesday healing addresses imbalance — physical, mental, or verbal.
Work for:
Healing rifts caused by harsh words or arguments.
Jet lag or travel fatigue.
Conditions tied to vertigo or equilibrium.
Crystal allies:
Chrysocolla → for healing verbal wounds.
Cerussite (or smoky quartz + aquamarine) → for jet lag.
Lapis lazuli / sapphire → for vertigo or restoring balance.
Family fight? Use chrysocolla on Wednesday to smooth communication and restore dialogue.
Malediction / Baneful Work
Ah, Mercury’s shadow. We all know the panic that comes with Mercury retrograde, missed texts, broken technology, confused schedules. Why wait? On Wednesdays, you can weaponize that current.
Work for:
Disrupting your enemy’s communication.
Sending them down the wrong path.
Causing delays, errors, and mental fatigue.
Baneful working: Write your target’s name on a slip of paper. Wrap it around a broken phone cord, frayed string, or twisted wire. Bind it tight while whispering: “Your words tangle, your path twists, your thoughts betray you.” Leave it somewhere stagnant until you want the curse to unravel.
Witchlings
Wednesday is the day to help children grow in communication, self-expression, and confidence.
Project idea:
Get neon index cards.
Each Wednesday, teach your child a new word.
Work with them to write an affirmation using that word (e.g., “I am brilliant,” “I speak clearly,” “I am kind.”).
Decorate the card together and add it to a “Word Wall.”
This practice not only boosts vocabulary but instills confidence, self-expression, and the magical power of language.
Wednesday belongs to Mercury, and Mercury doesn’t sit still. If you want to be heard, be clever. If you want abundance, be quick. If you need protection, outwit your enemies.
Or if it’s time to hex, unleash Mercury retrograde on your target and let them choke on their own confusion.
Because Mercury is both messenger and trickster, and the Witch who learns to ride that current can send any message they damn well please.
