Free Tumblr Spell: Find a Job, Like to charge; REBLOG TO CAST

This image has been imbued with Lakshmi’s (Hindu Goddess of Prosperity who I work closely with) blessings to attract opportunities. When this has been reblogged, some of her energy will be bestowed upon you, and wrapped around you to help pull in job opportunities. 

Ares’ blessings for motivation and a clearer mind has also been bestowed on this post. He will help you see the path of gaining those opportunities.

Please note, the more people who have reblogged this spell, the more amplified the results become. This is because I have cast an energy amplifier over this post. While reblogging this after 100 reblogs, increases the strength of this spell by x300 times, 1000 reblogs increases the spell’s effect by x10 000. 

LIKE to CHARGE REBLOG to CAST

Please follow @cassandraandprophecies for more free Tumblr Spells.

Translation Masterpost

So you want to be a translator: online resources and books for translation students. Aside from translation specific resources, there are also related materials you can look into to improve your work and knowledge. Some Interpreting material in here as well.

As a disclaimer, I have not read all of these books (yet). The most highly recommended will be bolded. Keep in mind I am entering my second year in university and have much left to discover. Feel free to suggest titles, blogs and websites for the masterpost!

I will be linking this masterpost in my sidebar and updating it often. Remember to check book ratings and reviews before purchasing!

But once you have a base in the language, they help you improve so much. I highly recommend buying any Berlitz or Barron language books. I love the 50 Ways To Improve Your books. They are the best grammar/vocab/correction language books ever. I use the Spanish one to help teach myself Spanish, and I absolutely love it. And it isn’t very expensive either!
