Summoning weather for a specific day

I don’t normally post about witchcraft, but I figured I’d share a very simple method of weather magic.

Say you’re going on a family vacation next week. You want to make sure it will be nice and sunny, maybe with a nice breeze. Or alternatively, maybe it’s nearing whichever winter holiday(s) you may celebrate, and you desperately wish for it to snow. You don’t want to summon snow randomly, you want it to snow next week, and maybe you just don’t have the time to perform the spell closer to that day (or simply don’t want to. that’s fair). What’s a witch to do?

Pick something to represent the day. This is honestly the hardest part. What are you doing that day? Maybe you’re going hiking, so you could use a shoe or a few leaves (since you’re going to be in nature). Maybe you’re traveling, and might use a small wheel or compass. Once you’ve selected an object, hold it while visualizing the day you want it to represent.

If you want:

sun - leave the object in the sun for as long as possible, preferably up until and during the day of.

clouds - wave the object through incense smoke or the vapor from an essential oil diffuser.

wind - blow on the object. if you want winds from a certain direction, blow on it from that direction. for softer winds, blow softly. for strong winds, take a hairdryer to it.

rain - sprinkle water over the object. or hold it under a faucet if you want particularly strong rains. maybe leave it in a bowl of water for a while.

warmer temperatures - hold the object between your palms until it has warmed significantly from your body heat. or hold it over candle flame.

cooler temperatures - stick the object in a fridge or freezer. leave it there for as long as possible, preferably up until and during the day of.

snow (or otherwise extremely cold temperatures) - stick the object in a freezer in a glass of water.

I’m sure you get the picture, and can come up with other ideas for other types of weather.

These can of course be combined. One can softly blow on an object before leaving it in the sun in order to bring a soft breeze on a sunny day.

Happy witching :]

I DID IT! I CAN FINALLY MEOW AND PURR AND HISS!

To Call The Wind

While making clock-wise circles with your forefinger in the air, say the following thrice:

I speak these words into air,

To raise the wind and make it fair

Until the time I choose to lay,

Make the wind to come my way.

To Lay The Wind

Say these words whilst making a fist to the sky:

I speak these words and lay this spell,

It's magic now has served me well,

Winds I tell you now to lay,

I'll call you up another day.

New Witch Resources

I’m gonna say it again, I made a google doc full of online resources for new witches! 

See see see it’s absolutely packed with good stuff! We’re talking PDFs, small businesses to get books from, and tons of links. Please go check it out! And remember my DMs are always open if you have any or many questions 💕

Im sorry 😭 I knew a character’s name started with A and their last name was Crowley and I just assumed it was him

I now know that his last name was a reference to aleister crowley

It's 2023, Google is free, and there are people who think I'm referring to a character from a TV series when I mention Aleister Crowley.

A Deep Room Cleanse

The state of my room is extremely important to me. It’s a direct reflection of my mental health, so when it’s messy, my energy levels are low and I just feel yucky. There’s no way I’m getting any kind of work done, magical or mundane. When it feels good and clean to be in, it’s a lot easier to deal with my symptoms and be productive. You don’t have to do every step every time of course, but each step has helped me so I figured a list like this might help someone. 

Change the lighting. Use natural sources of light (like pulling back the curtains and letting the sun in) over artificial ones. If you have salt lamps to turn on, those are still very nice. If you need artificial light to keep it from being too dark, try to prioritize light bulbs you like the color of, and ones that don’t whistle quietly when they’re on.

Change the airflow. Open a window, if you can. Often our rooms feel yucky because the air is stale. Get some fresh air moving. If it’s too cold, it’s okay to only keep it open for a few minutes or put on a coat while you work because you’re stubborn like me.

Change the sound. Put on your favorite cleansing music. Let it soak into the room. I tend to go or ambient spa stuff, or playlists that sound built for a rainy day. (Note: the music that helps you cleanse the best may not be the same as what you like the most. The playlist should keep you focused/uplifted while you work and reflect the vibes you want your room to have.)

Change the smell. Take out the trash, maybe refresh the sheets on your bed. Light a scented candle, some incense, heat up some oil, something to make your room smell distinctly different from the mucky-feeling room from before. (If your method of choice is something short like a room spray, I actually like doing it at the very end.)

Actually clean and organize. Nothing junks up the energy of a room more quicker than actual junk. Organize everything as much as you can (this might mean finally gutting your closet, even if you can close the door and hide it.) Wipe down any surfaces that need it, get everything fresh and functional again. Do some laundry while you work. If you have clothes or trinkets that are just collecting dust, extra points for purging them! 

 Cleanse any sacred spaces by themselves. A lot of us have altars or shrines in our rooms. A sacred space can also be just an extra important area of your room, like a reading nook.  Make sure to give them extra attention! You don’t need to wipe the board energetically (and probably shouldn’t), but taking a little extra time to clean surfaces, straighten up, and make sure everything feels okay on them goes a long way.

Cleanse in your regular way. Bust out the herb bundles, the bells, the ribbons, the broom, whatever you usually do to cleanse a space! The room is SUPER primed for it now, most of the negative energy probably already feels removed if not broken down. A good once-over with your favorite cleansing method should finish it off nicely. 

Refresh any wards or protections. Self explanatory. If you maintain energy borders in your room, now is a good time to check in on them and zhoosh them if needed. Keep the space clean for longer! 

Practice self-care. Take a shower, a nap, eat some food, whatever you need. You’ve put in a lot of work and you deserve it. 

Thank you but…

What did the 0 say to the ten?

Thanks for reading my joke.

If that doesn’t work try this tutorial by another blog

I hate how I’ve always been able to purr but not meow or hiss.

📚 A Witch’s Book 📚

there are a lot of different names for a witch’s personal book, which can define what type of book it is. a witch might have multiple books, or just one. however, you don’t need to have one singular book for each topic, it’s perfectly acceptable to keep everything in one book.

📚  GRIMOIRE / AGYR - a book of spells and other knowledge

📚  BOOK OF SHADOWS - a wiccan term for a witch’s book

📚  BOOK OF MOONS -  spells and knowledge relating to moon magic

📚  BOOK OF TIDES - a book of sea witchcraft and related knowledge

📚  BESTIARY - lists and accounts of the creatures/spirits you encounter

📚  DREAM JOURNAL - records of your dips into the astral plane

……..and many more types, whatever you like!

things you might want to include in your witch’s book:

rituals / offerings ideas

moon cycle notes

sabbats / rituals

chants / prayers / quotes

astrology notes

spiritual correspondences 

herb and crystal associations

recipes / spells / notes on spell results

divination board illustration

tarot readings / notes / spreads

it’d be so cool to just… make it rain… for dramatic effect. So now I’m gonna learn weather magick and make some kind of spell that requires only words, and I’m gonna whisper it before falling to my knees and sobbing loudly
