The flow of universal energy is like tides, flowing in and flowing out. Mercury retrograde is like the pause between and that is why communication (flowing out) and other active processes are difficult and seem blocked; we are fighting against the current. Witches love the stillness...it is the place between the worlds and holds power. Don’t struggle! Listen and be calm because you are! In Mercury retrograde we are ‘becalmed’ on the Universal Sea. Rest and regenerate.
