	Each civilization had its own legends about [[Mercury (Alchemy)]], and it was used as everything from a medicine to a talisman. Mercury's chemical symbol, Hg, comes from the Greek "hydrargyrum" meaning liquid silver. Mercury is also known as "quicksilver," a reference to its mobility and used as the physical symbol to represent the [[Azoth]] or fire-water in ancient alchemy. Speed and mobility were characteristics of the Greek-Roman god, [[Mercury (Hermes)]], who served as a messenger of knowledge to all the other gods and shares his name with the planet nearest the sun.

	Mercury has rulership of two mutable signs: Gemini and Virgo, Air and Earth respectively. As ruler of Gemini, Mercury is exalted (matured) in Virgo because knowledge is matured in being put to use.

Only through knowledge can service be fulfilled and divine purpose be manifested with material affairs improved. Anything that is rightly known, such as in experiencing Gnosis, can be rightly used. Perpetuating darkness is the result of ignorance and is the path to wrongly use knowledge and corrupt service. Mercury is the messenger in Astrology as it is in Mythology, see [[Mercury (Hermes)]].
