⛈🪄Storms, Spells & Rituals⛈🪄 (Patreon)

Here are some different spells and rituals you could try during a storm. There is a Thunderstorm Grounding Ritual, Rain Summoning Ritual if you are in a drought and need rain, Storm Scrying and a Motivation and Focus Storm Spell With sources listed below. Do you want to try any of these?

⛈Thunderstorm Grounding Ritual⛈

1. Sit someplace safe but with a view of the thunderstorm. Sure you can sit outside if you really want to feel connected to the rain and wind the please ensure that you won’t get struck by lightning or fall sick.

2. Get comfortable and take a deep breath. Take the rich sweet smell of the earth, the stripping tang of the ozone, the musky fresh smell of the rain, take all of it into your lungs and feel the storm inside your chest, inside you.

Feel the wind rushing to meet you, the cool touch of it on your skin, the sheer power and fluidity of the air, how free and wild it can be. Visualize the wind peeling the stale energy off and carrying it far far away from you.

Hear the drumming of the rain against every surface. How it claps on the floor and taps on the windows, the rushing of water to fill the earth.

Feel the thunder crackling and rumbling and rolling across the sky. Feel it rumble all the way to your core, feel it shake you up and fill you with energy.

Every time the lightning streaks across the sky, feel every bolt charging you up and sending the energy flashing through your veins.

You are now one with the storm.

3. Sit and watch the storm as a cool-down, let it dissipate. or if you feel like you’ve done enough grounding, let the energy inside you settle and get up quietly and leave.

🌧Summon Rain Ritual🌧

A little spell to summon rain; Get some water in a bowl or dish and cup some of it in your hands while you have it grabbed say:

Rain Rain

come our way

Fill the sky and soothe the land

I give you water from my hand

I personally like that one if we happen to be going through a dry spell. Let me see, more things…. STORM WATER.

Storm water is pretty simple you get a container of some sorts and you leave it out during a storm and collect the water that falls. Or if you’re expecting just a quick storm you can get tap water and take it out to charge during the storm. Once collected be sure to store it in a jar or something and label it properly so that it doesn’t get mixed up with holy water you may happen to have laying about (almost happened to me and now they sit on opposite sides of my altar)

🪞Storm Scrying🪞

You may have heard of water scrying, mirror scrying, and maybe even cloud scrying, but I have discovered my own new favorite type of scrying that I would like to share with everyone; storm scrying! How does one storm scry, you ask? Well, let’s take a look at my personal definition:

Storm Scrying ~ A type of divination in which the practicer observes movements in storm cloud formation over a weather radar to find shapes, symbols, or figures, and uses them to assume or predict a specific message or outcome.

Now, onto the how-to. Firstly, you’re going to need either the smart phone app iRadar, or a weather radar computer application. For desktop, I recommend trying AccuWeather.com ~ Both the app and website are free to use, though I personally prefer the smart phone app because it actively tracks the movement of the clouds and wind currents, and it would be easier to take screenshots to save for later; whereas the website does not show animated movement.

Before opening up whatever application you will be using to scry, focus on the general area of advice you wish to seek guidance upon; For example, if you’re going through a difficult time with your friendships, think of the general friendship area of your life. Clearly bring the matter upon which you’d like to scry for into the forefront of your mind, clearing out all other intrusive or scattered thoughts that pop up until your single area of guidance is all that remains.

Now, there are a few different ways you can perform the actual activity of scrying:

☁ 1. Close your eyes and focus on your area of guidance, scroll around the screen, and click/double tap a random location. Work with whatever clouds or storms may be in the surrounding area.

☁ 2. Scry using the local weather for the state, province, city or county where you live. If you are scrying to find an answer that involves another person, try using the weather in their location as well.

☁ 3. Categorize the radar map into different ‘sectors’ that represent different areas in your life / different types of questions. You could separate them into areas for love, wealth, fortune, health, opportunity, work, personal life, relationships, friendships, practices, etc. Whatever storms happen to be in each sector whenever you scry are what you have to work with for the guidance you seek in that particular area.

Along these lines, I’ve left the rest open to you! You can choose to scry following my basic techniques, or get more detailed ~ Perhaps by associating a meaning with each color (The color of each cloud formation shows the severity and thickness of an area of the storm) or doing one general scrying session in parts over a series of days (as there will be some days areas will be without storm formations on the radar).

Hopefully my scrying technique will be something popular among other witches, weather-oriented or not, as I’d love to see what new techniques arise from my idea! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to message me or send an ask ~ Thank you for reading ☽♡☾

Note: You could also storm scry through a window in your home, too, if it’s safe to do so.

🌨Increase Motivation & Focus Storm Spell🌨

A jar spell to be performed during a thunder/lightning storm to increase one’s energy, motivation, and focus! This can be used for energy at work, school, during magick, or just in general.

⚡ Written by Rainy-Day-Witchcraft ⚡

Materials:

Jar/Bottle

Carnelian and/or Quartz

Bay leaf

Sunflower

Cayenne (either pepper or spice is fine)

Setting up ⚡

- During a thunder/lightning storm, collect all of your materials together and plan to head outside. In addition to your magickal ‘ingredients’, also be sure to dress in rain gear or bring a poncho!

- A jar/bottle to contain your materials and the spell; this may also be a smaller jar, such as the ones that people use for necklaces or keychains, so that you may carry it with you whenever you need a little energy. Carnelian/Quartz, Bay leaf(s), Sunflower (dried seeds or petals), and Cayenne pepper will be the items you are putting into this jar ~

- Once outside with your items: choose a spot that you will be able to see the lightning or hear the thunder, feel the strong winds, and be open to rainfall. The best option is most likely a backyard, but DO NOT work underneath a tree or near a large portion of water, such as a spa or pool, as a safety procaution against the lightning!

⚡️Performing the Spell ⚡

Before continuing, take some time to sit in that spot and feel your surroundings. Listen to the rain and the deep rumble of thunder, and feel the electricity in the air. Channel your magickal energies down from the power of the storm and allow them to fill your body, creating a visualized glow or static effect around your aura. When you feel ready, go on to the beginning of the spell:

Placing each ingredient individually into the jar, chant aloud:

“Carnelian/Quartz (whichever you’ve used) for motivation, energy, and success in my endeavors, and to constantly charge the magickal contents of this jar -

Bay leaf for focus, and to grant me what I wish for -

Sunflower, to give me the energy I call for -

and Cayenne, to manifest my magickal intent speedily and enhance it’s effects with a kick!”

Of course, you may also improvise or write your own words for this, if you’d like to personalize the chant.

Transfer a bit of energy into the jar. This may be done through mediation/visualization or physically, such as breathing into it, before quickly sealing the cork or lid. When I had performed this spell, I visualized small sparks of lightning coming from my fingertips to charge the entirety of the jar before I sealed the lid ~ so you can definitely get creative!

Now, magickally seal the jar. This may be done with a kiss, with a few final words (such as: “it is done” or “so mote it be!”) and if you feel content with the physical sealing of the jar, that’s fine too ~

And you are done! With the rhythm of the thunder and the storm, shake the jar; mix up those ingredients, enhance their power, and urge them to begin working your magick! You can dance around in the rain while doing this, stomp around on the wet earth, or perhaps sing a bit ~ This would also serve as a grounding exercise, so I do recommend something along these lines!

Now whenever you need a little boost of energy, motivation, or focus, shake up your jar and let the spell once again enhance these things. Littler jars may be held with you and shaking throughout the day, and bigger jars should be shaken in the morning and left in your room or windowsill for the day’s effects ~ With my smaller jar, I find it useful to visualize sparks forming inside while I shake it.
