Dear Companions,
Atlantis, the Antediluvian World: Part IV: Chapter IV: The God Odin, Woden, or Wotan.
So when HPB says Buddha is Mercury (in the Secret Doctrine) she is hinting at this.
The following notes are from "Foundations of Esotericism" by R. Steiner:
Later he say the Mars principle is Kama Manas, quicksilver is Buddhi/Mercury.
So Mercury shares the impulses of Manas with the Old Moon condition, and also Mars as Kama-Manas(Desire Mind).
More notes from "Foundations of Esotericism":
Budhi is Love and compassion. Wisdom- Manas, Power/Strength- Atma, Beauty- Budhi.
Buddha is the teacher of love and compassion (the Christ Principle).
This is the Mercury principle seeded on Old Sun. Odin/Woden/Wotan- Mercury. Buddha now alloys mercury with iron.

Atlantis, the Antediluvian World: Part IV: Chapter IV: The God Odin, Woden, or Wotan.
So Odin/Woden/Wotan, is one as the same as Buddha- Wednesday is his day- Wotan's day. Wednesday, Mercury.
according to the learned researches of Sir William Jones, Odin and Buddha are probably the same person, it is curious to see the names of Bondvar, Wodansday, and Votan designating in India, Scandinavia, and in Mexico the day of a brief period." ("Vues des Cordilleras," p. 148, ed. 1810.)
So when HPB says Buddha is Mercury (in the Secret Doctrine) she is hinting at this.
The following notes are from "Foundations of Esotericism" by R. Steiner:
Atma was seeded on Old Saturn, Buddhi on Old Sun, Manas Old Moon.
The two next impulses Kama and Manas (Kama-Manas) man could not find could not find on Earth, "they do not lie in its evolutionary sequence." Kama was only to be found as a force on Mars. "It was added shortly before man incarnated." The second impulse (Manas) came from Mercury in the fifth subrace of the Atlanteans, with the original Semites.

More notes from "Foundations of Esotericism":
The particles of the white Sun ether became fluid, then solid gold.
"The fact that Mercury is still fluid is connected with the whole process of Earth evolution. It will become solid when the God Mercury has fulfilled his mission... Had we not has quicksilver we should not have had the Christ Principle (Budhi).
Budhi is Love and compassion. Wisdom- Manas, Power/Strength- Atma, Beauty- Budhi.

Awaken the sleeping
metal to be
In rivers melting molten
of fluidic levity -
before setting fast
and captured there to form
Or released into the World,
swift, is cured, its soul.
