Many of you young witches and wizards are studying here at Hogwarts and well all want to do well. This spell does no grant you knowledge of what you don't well, but does increase the chances of your hard work and studying being a success. That doesn't mean it does the work for you though!

Study Success Spell

What You'll Need:

• 1 Yellow candle 
• 1 Green candle 
• 1 piece of yellow ribbon, or yarn, or thread, or pipecleaner 
• 1 piece of green ribbon, or yarn, or thread, or pipecleaner 
• 1 piece of orange ribbon, or yarn, or thread, or pipecleaner 
• Oil (such as cinnamon, clove, or bergamot) made for luck or success 

If you cast a circle during spell work, you can do this now. Light first the yellow candle, then the green. Make sure there’s enough room to work between the two. 

Invoke your God/dess (es). Take the three pieces of ribbon/yarn/thread/pipe cleaner (all long enough to make a bracelet for) and begin to braid them. The yellow, for intelligence and clarity; the green for luck; and the orange for success. As you braid them, you can imagine symbols of studying, intelligence and remembering being thread in as well. (For example, I thought of most of my polyatomic ions, a book, a brain…) 

Ask the God/dess (es) to help you for your test, and help for your studying. Ask them to help you remember all you can, and to make studying easier. 

Once you finish braiding, run a little of the oil over the place where you will tie it, and tie the bracelet (or anklet I suppose) around your wrist (ankle) and wear it when you study and during your test.
