Mercury hour spells are good for finding a quick way out of difficult or uncomfortable situations and for encouraging good will from others.

Mercury rules Gemini (22 May – 21 June) and also Virgo (24 August – 22 September). Mercury magick is most potent during these periods. For people born under this sign, spells are particularly powerful during this period.

Archangel Raphael rules Mercury, and as such, Wednesday is Raphael’s day. As the Harmoniser, Raphael provides healing of all kind, brings guidance to anybody who is lost (physically, emotionally or spiritually) and protects children and young people.
