Message and Items giving cantrips

I'm a champion-oracle playing Strength of Thousands campaign. I Wanted to get some flavor utility cantrips for the regular encounters of the game. It seems while combat isn't rare it's not the first go to option for my party. I'd like to have something of worth to the group even though we have a dedicated wizard and bard and cloistered cleric. I figure Shield is always going to be needed for a champion because it's a one action, +1 circumstance ac and helps prevents crits. But by level 3 I'll be able to grab the Shifting Rune so I won't really need a range cantrip for damage I'll just use an interact action to turn a 2 handed weapon to a longbow and fire an arrow. So I have one slot for a utility cantrip:

I was thinking about message. When googling all I could find was people talking about a version of the cantrip from 2 years ago. Currently from what I'm seeing it has the Subtle trait and the range scales a bit to max of 500 ft. To me who's role in exploration mode is the scout I think this is really good. You can go ahead, get a visual on the enemies/settlement/objective and report back. What do you think of message in general? Do you prepare it in your campaigns?

Also I was interested in Ring of Sigils because I think it sounds like a really nice flavour cantrip and the ring gives you a general idea of the location of the sigl last placed so it's also doubling down as a decent tracking beacon. Are there any other magic items that let you learn cantrips and cast them as if they were innate?

Thanks in advance fellas.

EDIT: Okay guys I understand I was mistaken on the Shifting Rune. I'll use the Returning rune instead. I'd like answers on the Message cantrip and Items that give cantrips.
