1. Get the Oxford Dictionary
Find a physical, hardcover copy of the Oxford English Dictionary. This is your sacred object—the core of your ritual. No digital versions allowed. The book must feel heavy and real.
2. Acquire Nail Polish
You will need woman's nail polish. Any color is fine, but choose something expressive—deeppink, bloodred, oceanblue. It must be the kind meant to decorate fingernails.
3. Write the Magic Phrase
Using the nail polish, carefully write the phrase:
“There is no gene for fail.”
Write it on the cover of the Oxford dictionary. Let it dry. This is your spell.
4. Take a Polaroid Picture
Take a Polaroid photo of yourself, in the moment. Capture who you are now. No digital selfies. The picture must be real, physical, instant film.
5. Hide the Picture in the Dictionary
Open the Oxford dictionary to a random page. Slip your Polaroid photo between the pages. Do not mark the page or tell anyone where it is. Let the magic settle.
6. That’s It
You're done. You've created a Magic Dictionary—part book, part talisman, part spell. The knowledge of the Oxford, the beauty of polish, and the truth of your self-image now coexist in one object.
