There's a cyclone brushing up against the coast where I live, and its energy tastes delicious.

I've been dispersing it and spreading its energy out along the coast since I was able to feel it on the peripheral of my senses last week to help mitigate any potential damage and flooding. It has since dropped from a category 4 to 2, and we have just a light drizzle and some strong gusts of wind to show for it.

The energy in the atmosphere makes me want to get out, un-braid my hair, and dance and spin, but I know that would only whip up the storm again... sometimes it sucks doing the 'right thing'.

Sometimes, I just want to let the storms and cyclones rage so people know to fear the majesty of mother nature... but there's enough suffering and damage in the world at the moment, so this storm will pass by my coastline and out of my reach with minimal to no damage.

When The Wind Blows....

The Scene: A sunny but very cold and blustery day at an outdoor market, where merch is flying off the tables, banners are breaking loose, and canopies are being tipped over by wind gusts of 20+ mph.

Table Neighbors: -lashing their canopy to some beer barrels- I dunno if we're gonna be able to stay out here, this is getting bad!

Me: ......... -light bulb- Let me see what I can do.

Table Neighbors: You got any magic for this?

Me: Maybe? I'll ask.

So I go into the brewery and pick up a can of cranberry lager (I figure it's the closest thing to mead that's available and it seems properly festive.) I go back out to my table, face the sun, and crack the tab.

Me: Heeeey buddy. (somehow I always find myself addressing Thor this way) I know it's Yule and all, it's your day and you're having a great time, but if we could just tone down the wind gusts a little please? Wind is fine, just not quite so gusty, if you could? We'd really appreciate it! Skol! -sips the lager and pours most of the rest out-

Table Neighbors: -observing this- Anything?

Me: We'll know in a little bit. Usually takes close to an hour for winds to change.

And so we batten down our hatches and we wait.

Forty minutes later, with one last cheeky gust that I can almost hear laughing in my ear, the wind calms to a chilly but manageable breeze.

Table Neighbors: ..........................................Soooo cranberry lager?

Me: -finishing the pint- Cranberry lager.

See, now I kind of want to gather up a bunch of folk vernacular about weather and make a big post about it. Particularly the ones that actually reflect accurate methods for forecasting.

Me, I look for cloud formations (as well as their relative altitude), the behavior of birds and insects, the way the air smells, how my cats are acting, and whether my head and joints are reacting to changes in temperature or barometric pressure. It's not a perfect system, but it does tend to have some good indicators for whether the forecast on my phone is going to be correct or what the seasonal weather might be.

Go ahead and tell me if I'm being annoying with all my asks, but I did a little storm spell the same day I sent my ask (Tuesday I think??) and THIS is today!

The exhilaration of a successful spell and a good thunderstorm is unparalleled.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAA YES!!!!!! There you go! 😁

That's the thing with weather spells - sometimes they take a while, but when they work, it's SO satisfying.

Good work, witchling!

Whistling up rain

So, I  took @stormbornwitch‘s information about whistling up a wind and just changed the intent to rain. It takes 2-5 days since I live in a desert state surrounded by mountains. If I do several days in a row, it does tend to speed up the process but as she has stated you need to be aware of the consequences on the #climate and #environment. I’ve done this three times now over the course of several months and it has worked each time.

Wind-whistling

Weather Witchcraft is my specialty! I am a Storm Adder, a Pheryllt Druid who specializes in Weatherworking. This is just a sample of what I teach. Wind-whistling is quite literally causing the wind to blow or stop blowing by whistling. It has been used to cause a gust as well as to summon storms. The wind was already blowing so all I was really doing with this was directing a gust of wind right where I was focusing. I'm also a small business owner, & have a Ko-fi Shop where I sell my products/readings/spells/custom spells. Here is the link:

Tempestarii

I am a Tempestarii, a storm-raiser. Most commonly known in modern times as a Weather Witch. Personally I prefer my term "Storm Adder" due to the fact I am a trained & initiated 3° Pheryllt Druid, and as such work a lot with Dragons & Dragon-based energies. Therefore I call my craft "Storm Gnaddry." Gnaddr means "Dragon Priest," which is exactly what a Pheryllt is. Another term I could use is Pheryllt Tempestarii. Pheryllt Tempestarii = Storm Adder, seems fitting!

The Tempestarii are ancient, and we were called upon by everyone from royalty to military to seafarers to use our powers to: bring fog, stir away hurricanes, summon torrential rains, bind or bring in storms, & sell wind knots to sailors. Modern Weather Witches work with the magickal energies of weather patterns to cast spells. Our power over the weather is called "Atmokinesis," more commonly referred to as "Weather-witching." It is extremely difficult to find any information on this type of magick! So I am writing a book on it, and in the mean time I have created a Book of Shadows journal designed for Weather Witches specifically! You're welcome! I got you my kin ⛈️
