Back to School Basics (Hoodoo)

NOTE: I wrote these Back to School Basics in 2019 and they always appear in my Facebook Memories around this time of year. Since today is the first day back to school in my town, I thought I would put these in my blog for my readers as well as for future reference.  This post is written in two parts. The first part is for students and their parents and the second part is for teacher. 

Part One: For Supernatural Students and Paranormal Parents.

• Cinnamon is the friend-maker, if your child has troubles making friends or is attending a new school, sprinkle a little cinnamon in his or her shoes to lead her to positive friendships. 
• Whether you child is a "walker" or a "rider", you can fix a small packet of wormwood and comfrey root and hide it in your child's backpack to protect him or her when traveling to and from school. 
• Write all the names of your child's teachers and administrators on separate slips of paper (don't forget the bus driver, lunch lady, janitor, and / or tutors) and put them in a jar of honey. Burn pink candles on top of your honey jar (make sure it has a metal lid)  each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to ensure they they like your child and want to help him or her succeed.
• Designate a specific spot in the home where the child will do their homework and study.  Burn Crown of Success incense in this area on a weekly  basis.  Keep a piece of fluorite, or some rosemary, in the area (for retention of knowledge). Make up a little Crown of Success packet and duct tape it under the chair where they will sit. 
• Add Crown of Success bath crystals to the wash water when washing the child's clothes. You can also do this with any kind of protection, reverse evil, etc... bath crystals. You can also add any of these to the child's bath water and have them bathe in it. 
• To help your child excel at sports you can dust him or her with a mixture of high john root powder and five finger grass. You can dress sports equipment with the oils. For example, baseball gloves are often oiled to preserve them, you can add HJR to the oil and sprinkle five finger grass inside the glove. A baseball bat can be dressed with HJR oil to give the batter strength to hit home runs!

Part Two: For Terrific Teachers

• Burn Crown of Success Incense in your classroom on a weekly basis to help your students succeed.
• Dress each individual chair and desk with a little Crown of Success Oil to help them succeed; a little Do As I Say oil on the chair of the class clown or unruly student will help keep him or her in line. High John the Conqueror Oil on the chair of the "weak" or bullied student to give him or her strength to stand up for themselves. Crucible of Courage to allow the shy student to speak up and participate in class. These are just a few examples of how you can dress their chairs of your student.
• Dress extra supplies (such as pencils and pens) with the money drawing oil to give out to students in need. You can substitute oils based on each child'd need (see above). Just be careful you don't use too much since many folks chew on their pencils and pens.
• Sprinkle rosemary in the four corners of the room to help the kids retain knowledge.
• Dress yourself with Look Me Over Oil to command your students attention while teaching your lessons. If you are male, carry a whole High John Root; if you are female carry a while Queen Elizabeth Root for personal power and charm.
• Fix a honey jar with the names of all your students on individual slips of paper and burn a pink candle on it (make sure it has a metal lid) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays so that they all get along and like each other.
• Keep a hematite in your drawer that you can hold when needed to help you de-stress.
• Smoke a child's homework in incense or sprinkle them with powder before giving them back to the students. You can tailor the incense / powder to the child's need.
• Dress your own hands with Crown of Success Oil, place your hand on a student's shoulder when checking their work and make your silent prayer for their success.
• Save old homework or confiscated notes passed between students or notes brought to school from parents for their handwriting samples. These can be placed under fixed candles, incorporated into doll babies or packets that you work on the students behalf.
• After a bad day, or even before a big test day, you can put peace water in a spray bottle and mist the entire room.

And that's it! This entry will be updated as needed to adapt to a changing world!
