My best friend asked if we could do a spell to help her focus and study. I’ve never done one, and while I could make one up or google it, I wanted to ask the forum if they had a go-to spell? She is not chill with demons, so no petitions to King Paimon or anything like that. Thanks!
Gabriel can help with discipline and focus, if your friend is fine with angels. She could also make a vision board, she brings the art, you bring the magick.
I suggest looking into why exactly she is having trouble studying, then you can craft a spell that will bring about the best results.
I would probably do a candle + jar spell and carry the jar to class/exams with me including herbs, stones and talismans associated with improving learning capacity, memory, stamina, reducing procrastination and anxiety (if they are issues). Anxiety can really affect test performance. There are some binaurals in YouTube that help with those things too.
Other things to work on:
Gaining the favor of the professors/teachers (maybe a separate jar spell) so they’re more willing to help
Instead of jar spells, could also make a gris gris bag or sachet with the same herbs and stones (if doing a gris gris, it is recommended to do odd number of ingredients between 3-11)
Create or use a sigil (or a magic square) for her academic success, which can then be drawn into notebooks, textbooks, other school supplies.
Wednesday is a good day for academic/intelligence type spells
Oh I should have mentioned she’s a PhD researcher; she doesn’t have classes or exams. She has to write and publish papers, present her research, and pass a defense.
We’re going to make a simple Mercury talisman on the 17th (good election, but early af in the morning ), an oil for candle spells, and the tea. I think a sigil for her is a good idea too! Then she could carve it into the candle, or keep it near her when she needs it.
She isn’t witchy, so I think having a tea blend, dressing and lighting a candle, and putting on a piece of jewelry when its study time would be ideal for her.
I experimented with calling Nachiel and Sorath through Helios. I didn’t feel any tension or conflict. I asked them to bless a ring for her, to feel confident and shine when presenting her research.
