Candle Spell for the Children who are Going Back to School It is the end of Summer and it is time for parents to send their children back to school or perhaps, to school for the first time. Is it coincidental that the rites of attending school is similar to spiritual rituals or other ceremonies we partake in our lives? Could their be a tradition of movements, hand gestures, Rites of Passage, etc., that has morphed over into other parts of our lives and we have just been too busy, too scientific, to see? For instance,”Back to School” is a ritual or ceremony of purchasing new clothes or uniforms (ritual clothing), pencils, pens, lunchboxes, and backpacks (ritual items), haircuts (grooming for the ritual), food for lunches (ritual offerings/nourishment), and the first day of school with its “pomp and circumstance” of walking in the front doors, meeting the Teacher, wishing them Good Luck (ritualistic of when a Father ‘hands off’ the Bride to the Groom in front of the Officiant/Priest/Pastor), and kisses on the forehead or cheek (giving of blessing and acceptance). Then, as the parents leave, they call out to the child, telling them “Have a nice day” and “We’ll pick you up this afternoon” (reminiscent of spiritual sponsors giving reassurance that the ritual will go well). Since going back to school could be filled with anxious moments for both the student as well as the parents, here is a Success in Education Candle Spell to start the school year off on a ‘good foot’.
