Mercury Retrograde Body Mitten!
Feeling wobbly, forgetful, and introverted during this Mercury retrograde cycle? This can be a great time for renewal and self-reflection. The Mercury Retrograde Body Mitten (TM) is designed specifically to contain and counteract the powerful negative mental and energetic effects of Mercury retrograde.
Each body mitten is hand-knitted by celibate Virgos using hypo-allergenic squirrel wool inter-woven with strands of unicorn hair that were marinated in lavender oil infused with emerald powder. This energetic matrix provides a comfortable and fashionable garment to create an aware and stable personal environment before, during, and after Mercury retrograde.
Production of our body mittens follows a strict process of spiritual guidance, prayer, and attunement to the planet. After knitting, garments are dyed a limited range of peaceful colors (aquamarine, blue, green, mauve, teal) in a solution of Clematis, Narcissus, and White Chestnut flower essences to help ground thoughts and calm an over-stimulated mind.
The communication port located equidistant between the crown and throat chakras helps to release ideas and thoughts through communication, while the grounding port located below the base chakra allows optional access to reality, and discreet bodily functions, as required.
Mercury Retrograde Body Mittens come in several sizes. If you have a moderate-sized neurosis, just slip into our Mer-X size model, and you’ll immediately feel comforted by the warm sense of enclosure and protection the body mitten provides.
For New Age devotees crippled by more complex anxieties, say, involving both Mercurophobia and claustrophobia, you might want to consider our Mer-XL model which gives you greater freedom to thrash around inside your own little insular world.
And for co-dependent reality-denial couples, nothing says “I honor the neurotic me I see reflected in you” better than our Mer-2XL model, which features an inner partition liner (not shown) for couples who want to enjoy togetherness without actual physical contact.
Note: the Mercury Retrograde Body Mitten is not suitable for children, animals or the elderly with mobility problems. It is, however, eminently suitable for breastfeeding mothers in arch-conservative environments.
The Mercury Retrograde Body Mitten: when the world gets too scary for three weeks at a time, you’re safe in your own little world.

PPS… This was tongue-in-cheek, but such garments do exist, although I have absolutely no commercial interest in their retail. I imagine you can acquire one for yourself or a Mercury-phobic loved one by following my own chain of discovery, via Pinterest, AnOther magazine and Angela Crews E-shop Agency.

Haha
Absolutely loved this body mitten.
Brilliant post! I cannot remember when last I have laughed this hard….and during Mercury retrograde to boot. Well done. The parts about lavender oil infused with emerald powder struck a chord in particular. But on a more serious note, how much is shipping to South Africa? I think I might need the Mer XL model. 😉
This. Is. Epic. I love it!

Well, this one just had to be reblogged…too good to not read…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I so need this right now.
*heheh* Brilliant post – thank you for kickstarting my working week with a real belly-laugh!!! Hideous items, but I DO need one for the Mercury in retrograde phase 😀 x
This is fantastic! I could not stop laughing. Thank you!
Masterful. Thanks for the laugh.
Everyone needs a Thneed…
It’s a Thneed! I want one! Is it made from truffula trees?
LOL I NEED this. I don’t know if I can blame Mercury, but some craziness has been plaguing my life. If a Seuss-like sweater would help, I’d wear it no matter how hot the summer sun burns. Funny post. Thanks.
Wickedly wonderful
It looks vaguely uncircumsized …
Barb – You’re obviously not a celibate Virgo, and therefore unqualified to knit the matrix.
You could see a ton of these in Santa Fe, New Mexico!
I mean “sell” a ton.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this, because it made my day.
I don’t think I’ve read something as funny as this in years. SERIOUSLY! Tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard…
Oh my…..this is absolutely awesome. Will it make me invisible as well? Then it would be perfect.

I love this ideea……we should all use this product.
I can appreciate the obvious advantage of this specific body-sweater design, but (I’m just a little curious), could this just be a clever way to market some turtleneck sweaters that were originally designed for very tall people but got w-a-a-a-a-y too far off the mark in manufacturing? (I’m just a little curious)

I doubt I’ll be using the communication port much.
true that
This is so brilliant!!! I usually don’t get hit with merc retrogrades and as an Intuitive medium, bailing others out. Nope this Pisces/ need retro, let me say, I need a hideaway place.
I needed this laughter….. onto the rainbows it is
