I saw that post about when it's raining and it's time for 'weird witch stuff', and it got me thinking of what are some of the with stuff you can do in the rain?
Quite a number of things, Anon! Of course, keep in mind that your local laws may vary on the legality of collecting rain water. Always be cautious and look up your city and state laws regarding this. Also, be careful about ingesting rain water unless you’re confident on how to properly filter and purify it.
COLLECTING RAIN WATER
Rain collected during a gentle rain fall is said to inspire peace and serenity, and is useful in calming and tranquility spells.
Rain collected during a storm is said to carry the energy of the storm - powerful, ferocious, energetic. Use storm water for empowering spells.
Add hot sauce, capsaicin or extremely hot crushed peppers (with caution) to storm water to get fire water, useful for warding and curses.
Rain collected during a wind storm, such as a hurricane or tornado, is said to help with letting go and moving forward. That being said, collect with caution and never put yourself in danger to do so.
Rain or hail collected from a hail storm can be used for destructive purposes, for warding against and eliminating psychic attacks or creating them.
Collect water off of a gravestone to create spirit water, useful for spells involving spirits and ancestors. Caution: Preferably collect this from a friend or family member who was comfortable with your witchcraft, or a spirit who has agreed to this. Always return the favor with an offering.
Rain collected off of a flower tends to carry the trait of that flower.
Rain collected from a dirt ground can be used for grounding.
Rain collected from a crossroads can be used for choosing a direction.
Rain collected from a liminal space can be used for astral travel (crossing the hedge/venturing into the Other).
Rain collected during a full moon is purified water or empowered with the moonlight.
Rain collected on sabbats are useful for those sabbats’ intents (eg, Spring Equinox for fertility, May Day for sexuality, Midsummer for sun and fire, Samhain for ancestors and spirits, etc).
General rain water is used for cleansing. Use it to cleanse yourself, your house, your jewelry, your stones (that aren’t water soluble) and more.
UTILIZING RAIN AND STORMS
Rain and storms tend to evoke certain moods in us and are perfect for raising energy for spell work or ritual. Just be cautious if you decide to venture outside, especially if lightning or severe weather is a risk.
Rain has great purifying and cleansing properties. Consider cleansing tools that can’t be damaged by water in the rain, or step out in the rain to cleanse yourself.
Spells that involve letting go or cleansing are appropriate during this time. Consider writing down negative thoughts with a watercolor pencil and set it out during a rain to watch it physically wash away.
For anyone who keeps plants, indoor or outdoor, rain is a great refresher. Particularly for indoor plants, who cleanse our air and home, setting them out for a light rain shower can help cleanse them as well and suck the negativity out of their leaves. Just be careful not to over-water indoor plants with rain water.
CALLING UPON RAIN AND STORMS
Beliefs vary on weather magick. Some witches and pagans believe you can use spells to alter your local weather and some don’t. It’s up to you to make a decision on this belief.
Cast a flint stone or sand behind your back to the west to call forth rain (De Lamiis Libre, 1577)
Splash a besom end in fresh water from a live spring, lake, stream or river. Then use the broom to either “stir the sky” or sprinkle water above your head.
Call upon rain by whistling to rustle wind while pouring water from a pitcher into a bowl.
Use an incense recipe to call upon rain. Some might be available at your local store or you can use a mixture of bracken, fern and heather.
Fling water onto your hearth stone to call upon rain.
Off the top of my head, that’s everything I can think of. Good luck to you, Anon!
Storm Water ⛈️
Storm Water is water that is infused with the energy of a Storm!
You can make Storm Water either by filling a container of water with the rain coming from a Storm (With intention), or by leaving a container of water by a windowsill, or outside, during a Storm with the set intention of the water being infused with the Storms energy.
Storm Water Energy ⛈️
Though the energy can vary depending on the type of Storm, there are common themes.
Intense Power | Anger | Intensity | Confidence
Uses: Hexes, Curses, Shadow Work, and any spell you want to add a lot of extra power into.
Advice for Making Storm Water:
Whatever method you choose, set your intention in whatever way works best for you.
If you believe Storms have a spirit, ask the spirit of the Storm to infuse your water with all of its energy, and thank him too.
Pop a smoky quarts or black crystal into your container to use as a magnet to draw this energy in.
Visualize or watch the storm vividly, then imagine it's energy as a grey light, wrapping around and filling your container until it shines brightly.
Try to collect your water soon after the storm.
