Spell for a School or University Admission

Applications take months of work: personal statements, references, portfolios, interviews. Then everything goes quiet until decision day. An admission spell works on the part you cannot control: how your application lands and how the decision falls.

When should I cast?

What goes in the petition?

The school or university name, the course and the decision date if you know it. "I am accepted to study nursing at Lakeview University, starting in September." For several applications, list each school on its own line, with your first choice at the top.

A ritual for the day you submit

1. Light a yellow candle beside your laptop.
2. Put a bay leaf and a sprig of rosemary beside the keyboard.
3. Read your petition aloud once.
4. Press submit with the candle lit.
5. Keep the bay leaf in a drawer until decision day, then burn it with thanks.

What about the admissions interview?

Carry the rosemary sprig or a piece of clear quartz for a clear mind, and a pinch of cinnamon for a good first impression. My guide on job interview spells has more on preparing for the day.

Can parents cast for their child?

Yes, and many do. Put your child's name in the petition and write it from their side. My guide on casting for someone else explains how to order on their behalf.

How I cast admission work

This ritual uses a yellow or orange candle for focus and drive, with bay leaves for success and a stone chosen for your goal sitting beside your packet. The school's name goes on the outside of the packet and the decision date on the back. The education admission spell puts luck behind your application; for exams along the way, see exam spells.
