Morning Brigid Ritual

This morning, I found myself awake an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off ( a welcome surprise since I've accidentally slept in a lot). So I woke and started cleaning my room. I lit a candle and said two prayers for Brigid, as well as lit an incense stick.
I'm now currently having breakfast, a bowl of faerie oatmeal (oatmeal, spices, water and cream) and a cup of coffee with the same cream I put in the oatmeal.

Spell for Employment Success

Days: Wednesday, Thursday
Time: Noon
Items: Stones:
for employment- crazy lace agate, citrine, aventurine,
for success- hematite, amazonite,
for eloquence- opal
Tools: gold crayon, colored pencil or marker
Procedure
1 On a piece of paper, make a circle that the opal will go inside of or around (I used an opal bracelet, so mine went around.
2 With your gold drawing item of choice (I did crayon because I have an affinity for them) create a star inside of the circle.
3 Place your crazy lace agate, aventurine and citrine on the "triangle points" of the star, (top and two bottom points)
4 Place the hematite and amazonite on the remaining two points.
5 Place the opal inside or around the circle
6 Taking a moment to breath deeply and ground yourself, place your charging hand over crystals and symbol and focus on the job or career you are casting the spell for. (For me, I'm doing this for one of my partners, so I'm going to also focus on him and the job he's interviewing for).
7 Recite this spell, while moving your hand across to each point of the star
With these crystals I have placed
Bring on success for the task at face
If this career is correct for me/thee
It will come to fruition, so mote it be.
Repeat however many times you want, until you feel charged with the words
8 Place your hands on your knees, and use the energy to energize and ground yourself.
9 Once you feel the energy settling, put away your tools and go forward with your day.
