“Keep me focused” Spell

Now I know some of you will be on your summer break from school/college/university/etc., and when the time comes when you’ll be going back, you’ll be needing to get back into a routine! So, I’ve come up with a quick little spell which can help boost concentration and will get you back into that dreaded routine..

Unless you love that routine, in which case good on you! 

You will need;

A space to sit

Sandalwood Incense (or an incense that makes you feel focused)

A bayleaf/piece of paper and a pen

A heatproof dish

A lighter (be safe!)

A tealight (or candle; if you can find a yellow one, perfect, otherwise white is fine!)

Optional; a piece of jewellery or trinket you carry around with you

1.Make sure you are comfortable! If you have a pillow, sit on that because you need a comfy tush!

2.Light the incense and the tealight and then proceed to do some simple breathing exercises; in through the nose, out through the mouth. Do that until you feel relaxed.

3.On the paper/bayleaf, write the word (or draw a sigil representing) “concentration”. Place that on the dish. If you are using an object in this spell, place that in front of you, or if it is jewellery, wear it at this step.

4.Light the bayleaf/paper on fire, and watch it as it burns. Do not avert your gaze from it. If an object is involved, you will need to focus on this instead. imagine the spell transferring power to your object/piece of jewellery as you focus on it. If you have earrings, you can hold a mirror up to them.

5.Now is a great time to use an incantation, for example; “my gaze is unbroken, my mind aligned, I am focused, I am ready”

6. Once the paper/bayleaf has burned completely, you can then proceed to blow out the candle, but keep the incense going as this will cleanse the area. It is up to you how you dispose of the ashes!

You can repeat this process whenever you need to; the length of time differs for each person depending on your level of focus prior to the spell!

If you want to do a quick charge of your object, creating the same sigil you used in the spell, or writing the same word on paper or your skin and placing the object over the top for as long as you require will charge it. Otherwise wrapping it in yellow fabric will charge it. 

You can also add rosemary to this spell with the bay leaf to incorporate memory improvement for a really good combo!

it’s all for you
