Ok I Don't Have Crystals But Maybe Rocks Will Do

Ok I don't have crystals but maybe rocks will do

hi! do you have any advice for spells n things i can do to improve focus & luck going into finals? anything specifically studying-related? ❤️

Absolutely! It's a blend of practical and magical stuff, like most of my advice for these situations.

First, the practicals. Have a particular flavor of gum or mint or hard candy to keep you company when you're studying. Have it again on test day - the flavor and scent will help with recollection. If you're not partial to these things or if they're not allowed in the testing room, use a drop or two of a particular scent for the same effect.

(Note: Though it might seem tempting, do not use essential oils directly on the skin for this purpose. Use a perfume or body spray instead, or apply the scent to a garment or accessory that you can have with you on exam day. Something subtle that will jog your memory but won't bother your neighbors or give anyone a headache, for courtesy's sake.)

Try not to have too many distractions or interruptions during study time and don't leave things to the last minute (this is a hard one, I know). If you can't absorb information strictly through reading, try to find an audio or video resource to supplement. Come up with your own mnemonic devices for difficult formulas or points that you know will be on the exam. If you can find any of the relevant facts set to music, try and memorize the song. That always helped me a lot since tunes tend to stick in my memory.

Get plenty of rest the night before so that you don't wake up groggy. If you take medication, make sure you take it on time. Hydrate well, but not so much that you have to go to the bathroom urgently. If you drink coffee or tea in the morning, beware of a caffeine crash halfway through the test and try to time things accordingly. If the examiner will let you have a drink in the testing room, use a clear container so you can't be accused of cheating. Eat a light breakfast with protein in it before the exam so that you have calories to work with but you don't get that full/sleepy feeling. And then take yourself to brunch once the testing is done.

On the magical side, you can set a favorite crystal or stone on your desk while you're studying, then keep it in your pocket during the test. I don't know if instructors these days allow fidgets, but a few people I knew in college used to have worry stones that they would have in hand while they studied and then would bring on exam days. The tactile sensation of the stone was another recall device.

A charm of rosemary and peppermint can help. Put some in a sachet bag and keep it on your desk while studying, then tuck it into your pocket before the exam. Some witches I know use rose quartz or sodalite for this purpose as well, either on their own or with the herbs in the charm bag. If you have another kind of lucky charm, you can use that too.

Let me leave you with a bit of advice as well - the best kind of luck comes from foresight and planning. By all means, hedge your bets with magic if you like, but make sure you're wagering on solid preparation first and foremost.

Hope this helps and good luck on your finals!

are there any ways, using magic, to help pass a test/exam or to study?

Sure! It all depends on how you want to do that. Sigils to help your memory. Enchanting spot where you study often. A calming spell so you are cool and collected for a test. natural-magics has a really great spell index and there are several spells in the section of Concentration, Clarity, and Study that you might find useful.

I'm Asexual and mostly sex-repulsed but I can't be the only ace who is confounded by some of the shit that people find sexy. I don't really understand the mechanics of hornyness, but like, where is your self respect?? Did your dignity just leave??? Is your rational brain gone, did hornyness kill it?? Like what the actual fuck dude

So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story

Simple Study Spell 🍃

a simple spell to help you study

🍃 gather: ample amounts of basil, rosemary, orange peel, and chamomile, and white thread.

🍃 using a pinch of each herb, make a small jar of each, and seal tight.

🍃 briefly, cluster the jars together in a circle of white thread

🍃 mix their energies without mixing the herbs. 

🍃 while studying, use the herbs individually in the jars on the materials you’re using. 

🍃 later, during the test, take out a piece of the herb that corresponds to the studied material

🍃 example: i have a math test, a science test, and a literature test. 

for the math test, i rub the pages with basil while i study, and i inhale the scent.right before the math test, i rub my hands with basil, enough that i can smell the basil during the test.  

for the science test, i do the same things, but with the rosemary. 

for the literature test, i do the same things with the orange peel
