Magic for the college witch
In honor of finding out I am set to graduate in December with my associates in science I have decided to celebrate with you all by sharing my tips and tricks I used to help pass some of my classes! Each tip will be sorted into circumstances as to where they may be applicable. Please enjoy, and congrats to all my future grads!
Reminder: In dorms and such you wont have access to many tools, but if your living in an apartment things are less strict. every time you see candles and such if you live in a dorm replace it with either electric candles or even colored stones you can rub together or place in a grid!
Registering for classes
Often times we try to register for classes as soon as possible, especially when you are an incoming freshman. When it comes to getting accepted and starting the process congrats your here.
Set up registering appointments on lucky number days, during the new moon, or on Mondays and Thursdays because those times represent readiness and preparation
Manifest getting good classes and teachers by sending off a prayer out to the universe
Do divination when registering opens to see if a teacher is a good fit or not (Also check out rate my professor)
If you are having trouble establishing classes, or just cant seem to get that *one* class you need, light a blue candle and put mint at the base of it to promote an opening
If your facing a situation where you are trying to get into an exclusive class (this also works if your presenting a thesis) put a sugar packet under your tongue to sweeten your words and make you more convincing
Getting to class on time
The commute anywhere can be a really hard thing to do, whether your commuting from a dorm to a classroom or city to campus it can be hard to be on time or find the motivation to show up to class
To motivate yourself to go to class keep a carnelian under your pillow to help you rise in the morning
Keep a consistent schedule, not only is this helpful psychologically but magically consistency helps build up magical energy towards motivation
enchant your walking shoes (or get heelies) to put pep in your step and always be on time when walking. You can optionally put a sigil in your shoe
enchant cars to avoid red lights by charging your keys in full moon light
Light a green candle before important days to make sure your morning commute runs smoothly
Setting up magical space in the dorms
Most dorms don't allow things like candles or flames, heaters, strip lights, etc. With this in mind people assume it must be hard to create a magical space without some of the key items, but we do have solutions!
Instead of regular candles, use electric ones as votives on deity altars
Instead of incense use MILD essential oil diffusers like lava stones in the corners, or a defuser. Bonus points if you use a dehumidifier
Chances are you wont have a lot of space, so opt for small placements on desks via mini figures and small stones
Set up sachets around your space and put them in clothing areas, not only do they smell good and keep moths away, they act as magical protection
Start working on energy based practices like meditation or enchantments with only your body
Navigating relationships
College can be a hard time, your adjusting to life without the friends you grew up with, most people start their dating life, and friends begin to come and go as you go through classes. Don't restrict what you experience
When you brush your teeth, enchant it to represent you 'speaking your truth' and 'biting back' so your protected from people who have bad intentions or are deceptive
When at parties and such put a sigil of protection on your left thigh, this represents protection from people looking to harm you
blow cinnamon at your door, or use a light cinnamon essential oil wash to invite new people and opportunities
Keep amber under your pillow or by photos to maintain friendships and help you let go of ones that no longer serve you
wear silver to repel energy vampires or people who are looking to use you
Studying success
Studying and how effective it is will depend on you and how you like to study, there are hundreds of posts online that look at how to find your study style, this more focuses on magic you can do for memory retention
Chew mint gum during studying AND during your test for memory recall
Draw sigils on your physical flash cards to make the information easier to retain
On the third of each month save that day to brush up on all information from the class, not only does this prep you for the final but this day is Athenas ritual day
Study the most on Wednesdays as they represent wisdom
Use a shungite worry stone during studying and testing to help keep your mind focused and stress free before tests
Test taking
Test taking can be a really hard part of college, I know it was for me. We do a lot of things to help prepare but what can we do during a test?
Create a sigil of good luck on top of your exam
Wear green on exam days
Eat and drink something enchanted (I swear by a snickers and a red bull) before a test for good luck
Create a superstition like a lucky shirt or pair of socks after your first good exam grade
Wear gold accessories to enhance your test taking skills, and speed up your test (Great when you are being timed)
Mental Health
Your mental health in college is very important, it can be hard being separated from your home town or family and just know that it does get better. College is a mix of emotions, from the loneliest point in your life, to the most social. You will be navigating new challenges, new feats, and its important to take care of yourself. Seek out the college mental health resources available to you like counseling as needed. you matter!
Use words of affirmations when you wake up and before you sleep to remind yourself you matter, my favorite is from the help "You is smart, you is kind, you is important"
Carry rose quartz and carnelian on you for self love and energy
Before bed drink lavander tea for rest and revitalization
Pray over your food to nourish your spirit as you go through college
Write down letters and petition to the universe for stability and how you feel.
I hope you all have enjoyed! Again, congrats to all my future grads, and I hope you all can come with me as I journey to getting my bachelors
