In episode 127 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew celebrate the Spring Equinox with their favorite trickster tales. In this conversation, they discuss the divine psychopomp from Greco-Roman lore, Mercury or Hermes. They discuss his planet, his metal, and the god’s role as a mythical messenger and Scribe of Saturn. They contemplate Mercury as a playful traveler, a patron of thieves, and a boundary-breaker with the golden touch. Kristin and Kate also venture into the more-than-human world in search of the Coyote, Raven, and other tricksters sporting fur and feathers.Sources:Episode 107: Satyrs and CentaursEpisode 111: Planetary Magick with Shelby BundyEpisode 29: As Above, So BelowEpisode 72, Mabon MagickEpisode 119: Take Back the Magick with Perdita FinnConcerning Astronomy,  2nd century ADPseudo-Hyginus, Astronomica 2. 19 (trans.
