A Spell Casting Mishap

Come to think of it, I wouldn't really call this a mishap so much as an amusing yet very helpful blunder. This could be considered a slight lesson in just how touchy the business of spell craft can be. ;D

Someone I know very well is having an extremely hard time finding a practicum in her chosen field...mainly due to her young age. She is a 23 year old female trying to secure a position in the Funeral Service industry...an industry that automatically looks at her and thinks "How would someone so young be able to maintain the sense of professionalism and integrity that our customers need to believe?" It is a common issue in this industry and it really isn't these potential employers' faults either, it is VERY rare for them to see any newcomers under the age of 35, let alone 25! 

So, anyway, I went about trying to give her that extra boost by performing a nightly spell for a given amount of time with the hope that she would be surprised with that special phone call. When I perform magick, one of my favorite methods by far is to meditate every night, for a predetermined number of nights, on a candle while reciting a specifically worded mantra for 108 times using my own handcrafted set of mala beads. 

I was very careful to make sure that the mantra was specific to her needs without missing a detail...even down to a time limit I gave the universe to provide its manifestation...of November 15. Now, what I didn't count on was my subconscious mind unknowingly worrying about how she and her daughter were going to survive while she did her 'unpaid' fall practicum, since she had been turned down for that funding back in August. 

She was quite surprised to discover a voicemail on Thursday from her student awards office. They called to say that they had made an error and overlooked some requirements she had needed, but actually had, to be approved for the full living expense funding during her 4 month practicum...and a check for almost $8000 was in the mail! It took a little while before we realized that Thursday was the 15th! 

Now...back to work...I have a practicum to conjure! ;D
