The School Of Life, Lesson 1: How To Start The Year Off Right In Mercury Retrograde Shadow Period (+ 4 Ways to Manifest with Music) 📚🎶🏫

Lord have mercury! Retrograde REALLY ended on on January 1st— the beginning of the new year. I don’t know how we did it, bougie brujas. How did we end one year and start another during mercury retrograde? During what’s astrologically considered the most difficult period of the year communication wise? AND while we had the sun in SAGITTARIUS?? Like I know that it’s winter right now— but with retrograde having began during a fire sign season, I don’t know how anyone kept their cool. I give kudos to everyone, everywhere. Take a sigh of relief and celebrate! You made it through! I hope you also made break throughs… and if you had a couple of break downs, it’s okay. That’s the reality of mercy retrograde. What matters most is that you learned something along the way. Remember that every last one of us on this planet are in the school of life. Just because you graduated high school or college, doesn’t mean you graduated from Universe University. Think of December retrograde and this upcoming Mercury retrograde in April like your midterm and final for the school year. You just did your midterm in December, and you got your grades back on January 1st. Deep down, you know if you aced or not. If you fucked up or failed the last time, it’s okay. We all mistakes. Think of the new year like the start of a new semester. Just study harder next time for the final in April. And I know, some of you are thinking: but I don’t want to go back to school, while others are saying: I have enough homework as it is. But to tell you the truth, life has its own lessons. Whether you like it or not, if you practice magic or manifestation in some way— you’re gonna be tested on what you’ve learned. Remember how in Sabrina The Teenage Witch, before Sabrina got her full powers, she had to study from her spell books AND school books? She had homework in chemistry AND alchemy. Then she also had a “quiz master” aka tutor from “the other realm” who LITERALLY popped in to give her pop quizzes! Sabrina juggled both being a bruja and having a boyfriend. Some of you may feel like you’re in the same boat WITH having to go to work on top. However, if you want to keep your power, that of witch craft and clairvoyance, you have to keep practicing. So welcome to the School Of Life Series featuring me— your Bougie Bruja. In our first lesson, we’re going to learn about the planet Mercury. We’re starting with Mercury first since we started the year in Mercury retrograde shadow period (And you know what’s ironic?? Mercury is the first planet too). So listen up Sabrina, I’m going to be your quiz master! You’re going to get your degree, PHD, promotion, your trade school license/certificate— whatever worldly goal you’re striving for, AND you’re going to get your witches license. So welcome to the School of Life series, Spellman. This is your first lesson. Sit back, relax, grab your grimoire and favorite fuzzy pen, and take some notes! Today, we’re doing a Mercury deep dive! We’re going to learn what mercury is, what retrograde is, what the frequency of mercury is, and how we can use the frequency of music to manifest and raise our vibrations as we start the new year in a mercury retrograde shadow period. So, what IS the planet mercury? This would be your first question in the school of life’s quiz on Mercury. But what is it? Mercury is the closest planet to the sun named after the Roman messenger God. It represents the mind, messages, communication, connection, language, intellect, and reason. In laymen’s terms, Mercury is how we think, how we speak, how we learn, how we listen, and even what we listen to. Its the information we absorb. It represents the school, the teacher, and the student. But in Bougie Brujas terms, Mercury is… music. It’s music to the ears. So now we come to ask, what is music? Music is “vibrating air which produces sound waves. These sound waves are then processed by the brain, which creates the experience of music.” Life is like a Spotify playlist, and you’re the one who dictates what you download. And life is also like your own personal musical. You’re the main character who selects the songs you sing. But remember— the real connection is in the chorus. The harmony. The parts where other people sing along. There’s magic in the frequency of music. The lyrics can either lower, raise, or match your vibrations, depending on the mood you’re in. And music is a metaphor for the planet Mercury. Mercury reminds us that we can’t just speak, but that we have to listen as well. Communication is comprehending and complying— not just commenting. You have to let other people have their solos. If you want to have harmony, you have to be one band and one sound. This is the chorus. We also have to remember to respond and not react because the words we speak are spells. Don’t say what you don’t mean. Speak in alchemy.. not in anger. And musicians songs are based on their experiences in the school of life. They sing about conversations they’ve had and the places they’ve been. They sing about their feelings… they put us on their frequency. This is why we have to be careful about what we listen to and what we say. Mercury retrograde gives us those reminders. What is Mercury Retrograde? This would be the most important question when quizzed on mercury. Mercury retrograde is an astrological phenomenon where Mercury appears to be orbiting backwards. Astrologers assert that the influence of mercury retrograde can impact communication, technology, and decision-making, often leading to tardiness, misunderstandings, disagreements, and disruption. During Mercury retrograde, you may have a difficult time conveying your feelings, mail may arrive late or not
