Please do not say "I'm so stupid to think this is real" or such, because I usually don't believe in this stuff, it's just that I'm getting desperate...I need these for my district spelling bee! Wish me luck, please! *wink*

Study is the best thing for this. Lots and lots of study.
But it seems you need to calm down, relax, and be rested for this spelling bee.
You don't need luck... you need to be prepared.
Try taking some time each evening to calm yourself. Do a little meditation. If it makes you feel better, sit in a hot bubbly tub, light some candles, and go over in your mind how it will feel to stand on stage, answer the questions. Go over it so that it becomes familiar, and does not scare or upset you. Get a feel for it. Make it real in your mind so you are relaxed, feeling comfortable.
Then do your studying. Use some aroma therapy, some calming scents, like rose and lavender. Study till you are tired, and then sleep. Do not force yourself. Cramming at this point will not help. Staying up late will not help, it will only make you over anxious and tired.
You don't need luck. If you have studied, then you will be as lucky as you can be. What you do need is a presentation of yourself as calm, in control and knowing what you are doing. This will say more to the judges and to the audience than anything else. Even if you take second or third place, you will have presented the best side of you and you will have done the best job you can.
Good luck...

Good luck with your spelling bee.
however, there is no such thing as luck. you make your own path. practice, practice, practice. it does not guarantee a win, but you will feel confident that you did your best.

If you believe it, it will happen, but you have to truly believe, give all faith. Have no doubt that God will bring good things.. When ever I am going through bad times, or something very stressful is happening and I want it to stop.. I just say to myself "God will take care of me as always, this will be ok", then I quit worrying and within a short period of time... my prayer has been answered. But believing and having faith is the answer

Battlerattle has this right.
Self belief is the best good luck ritual.
Believe in yourself and everything is possible.
PS. Obviously this doesn't work for stuff like winning the lottery.

Yes they are. But, like madonna_toller said, you should also know that in true Buddhism, no one can change your luck. It's only you who can make it better (or worse). Those monk just teach you how to behave, or do blessing to encourage you to make it better.

ritual or not? sit quietly and picture yourself spelling the words, and like everyone said believe that you can and you will.
