Atmokinesis Proof

Atmokinesis: psionic weather engineering! Atmokinesis is the psionic ability to create & shape meteorological patterns. It is the ability to work directly with elemental energies & use them to shape weather conditions. A lot of Weather Witches & Storm Witches I know call this Weather-witching. It's the same thing! This video is proof of my power as a Keramomancer (Sourcerer who specializes in Weather Magick). I practice Keranolurgy aka Weatherworking. My energy effects everything around me (almost always incites chaos depending what's going on). I affect the ambience or atmosphere of a place. This speaks to both ambience ("mood of a place") as well, as you can see, the atmosphere outside. It is often said that weather affects mood. Perhaps it's that weather is the "mood" of the atmosphere! Insterestingly, "atmosphere" in Greek refers to both the weather AND ambience. So Keranolurgy is the perfect name for my magick & what I practice.

Weatherworking

(Photo credits to me, a storm cloud I created using my powers)

Weatherworking is an ancient magickal art. It has been practiced at least since Medieval Times when Sea Witches were called upon to raise winds for becalmed sailors (tho honestly it was probably practiced way before then). It works directly with the raw primal forces of nature! It is a very powerful art that is also very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing! I don't recommend it for beginners. If you wish to specialize in Weather Magick, then you must know more than just spells. You have to actually *study* things like meteorology & atmospheric science. You have to actually pay attention to your local weather patterns, your local climate, & notice changes in wind patterns, temperature, barometric pressure, & cloud formation. You have to actually learn how to be one with the weather & learn how to feel that static charge of the air before a storm, when the pressure rises/drops, when the humidity changes, etc. You have to be ready to jump up at 2AM when that storm rolls in to do your spell.

Being a Weatherworker is no easy task! You will get ridiculed for "screwing with natural systems." You will get told you "don't know what you are doing" (even if you have been doing it for years like I have). You will get lectured by so called "Pagan Elders" on the ethics of magick & how you are pulling moisture from areas that need it (basically blaming you for a drought or a flood). But worry not! Weatherworking is one of the ORIGINAL magickal arts so they can honestly just fuck off. Mages have been altering the weather for thousands of years now this nothing new. I don't use any of the traditional Storm Calling methods I just move the air & clouds mys'elf using my powers.

Pros & Cons of being a Weatherworker

Pros:

That static charge of the air before a storm hits.

Being empowered by a thunderstorm or a windy day.

Having influence over when it rains or whatever.

Bragging rights when a storm-calling spell works.

Needing only the weather to do magick (everything else is optional).

Being able to be proud of a storm, the wind, etc because you made it happen.

Being able to call up a storm to get out of doing certain outdoor activities.

Cloud Reading & that old folkloric weather info comes in handy.

Cursing using tempestual visualizations & Storm Water because the weather is good AND bad.

Storm Water, Rain Water, Snow Water, oh my!

Cons:

Accidently conjuring storms or highs winds during strong emotions.

Barometric Pressure Headaches (because magick has a cost)

Static electrical shock mostly every time you touch metal, fabric, or another person.

Putting too much of yours'elf into a storm can make you sick (again because magick has a cost)

That disappointment when a storm-calling doesn't work for whatever reason.

Accidently causing the electricity in a building to blink.

Your electronics misbehaving during strong emotions.

Getting lectured by so called "magickal authorities" that you "don't know what you're doing," you are "tampering with natural systems," you are "causing droughts/floods/hurricanes," &tc.

Getting blamed for local weather inconveniences or extreme weather like tornados or hurricanes.

Ozark Rain Potion

The people of the American Ozarks were talented weather workers, able to predict a storm or call up rain with ease. This potion recipe is influenced by their superstitions, some of which have been passed down to me through my ancestors who had lived in Arkansas and Tennessee, and some of which I've found in my research. 

The recipe goes as follows: 1. Combine one part vinegar with three parts water in a small glass container with a lid. 

2. Add generous portions of powdered eggshell, dried onion, and/or dried garlic.

3. Light a match, immediately extinguish it, and use it to stir the potion.

4. Do this twice more, with two fresh matches.

5. Dry and save the three spent matchsticks.

6. Seal the jar, shake gently.

Store in a cool, dark place until you are in need of rain.

When in need of rain, go outdoors, preferably to a high place such as the top of a hill. 1. In dirt or grass, create an inverted triangle with your three matchsticks

2. Dip a small bundle of cat hair, spiderweb, or freshly picked foliage into your potion. 

3. Place the damp bundle in the center of your inverted triangle. 

4. Hold your hands together above the triangle, in a cupping gesture, palms up. 

5. Close your eyes. Imagine rainwater cascading into your open hands, and say, either out loud or in your mind, “if it is your will, let come the rain.”

Do this daily until the rain comes.

Thunderstorm in a Jar

This is a Storm Magick spell, inspired by other spells I have read. This is a spell you perform when you wish to conjure a storm for its energy to power spells. Not recommended for beginners.

Ingredients:

> Jar

> Storm Water

> Cotton Balls (to make clouds)

> Grey food coloring (black+white)

> Glitter, leaf pieces, twigs, dirt, etc.

Casting:

Put all ingredients in the jar, visualize thunder, lightning, rain, etc as you shake to activate & chant:

"Thunderclouds I summon here,

Come ye now sky red as blood (red sky in morning folklore).

Rain & lightning & wind real high,

Unleash thee now do lose thy flood!"

Note: Be VERY careful with this spell as it is very powerful. You are directly summoning the raw forces of nature. Be very clear with your intent & do not lose focus. Storms can be very dangerous so do not overdo it!

Rainbow Majik

The way a Weatherworker can work with Color Majik is by using Rainbows. They are already elemental manifestations of rain/thunderstorms & therefore already tuned to Weather Magick. Please note that these correspondences are unique & personal to me through experimentation & personal associations. Also note that Nature is neutral & therefore so is majik. So these colors can also be used to manifest their negative properties.

Pink: friendship, love, reconciliation, sensuality. Negative: break-up hexes, causing impotency.

Red: power, blood majik, passion, lust, sexuality. Negative: reducing libido.

Orange: legal matters, charisma, glamor, courage. Negative: causing legal trouble, reducing charisma, depression.

Yellow/Gold: s'elf-esteem, glamor, revealing truth, wealth, solar majiks. Negative: destroying wealth, causing low s'elf-esteem, covering the truth.

Green: growth, strength, healing, overcoming obstacles. Negative: "causing a growth," reducing strength, obstructing anything.

Blue: prosperity, energy, empowerment, calmness, serenity, happiness. (Blue is my favorite color). Negative: curses/hexes, disempowerment, riots.

Indigo: dreams, subconscious mind, therionick sorcery, peace. Negative: causing nightmares, inducing fear, causing disturbances.

Violet: expelling negativity; truth, wisdom, knowledge. Negative: lies, ignorance, causing negativity.

On Atheism & Magick

Being an Atheist only means one thing: I don't believe in Gods & Goddesses. It doesn't automatically make me a rational skeptic. It doesn't automatically mean I don't believe in magick or spirits. I do recognize the existence of consciousness, spirits, extraterrestrials, & the Elfae. I just don't see them as higher than mys'elf but equal to me, or rather a manifestation of my own consciousness. I believe in & practice magick, Weather Magick to be precise! I just simply do not recognize the existence of deities. I do not & have never needed deities to practice magick. My power is my own & does not come from a higher power. THAT is what being an Atheist Wizard means. I have the ability to use magick without the aid of spirits or deities! My magick, as a Weatherworker, directly influences the world around me here & now and does not take much time to manifest. It comes naturally to me. That's what Weatherworking does. It's a primal force that directly affects the world i.e. the weather. I have never needed deities or spirits to "aid my magick." I just do it mys'elf! So please stop insisting that to be a Witch/Wizard/Sorcerer that you have to "enlist the help of spirits/gods/goddesses" because I am living proof that's not true. There are such things as Atheist Witches/Wizards/Sorcerers. Science & Magick work well together if you know how to blend them.

Witchcraft vs Wizardry

Why am I a Wizard & not a Witch? Here's why:

Witches tend to be more spiritual & intuitive preferring more indirect ways of using magick such as sachets of herbs & crystals or 7 day spell candles; magick that manifests over a period of time. Much more like folk magick. They get their power from the spirits they work with such as Familiars, Elfae, or Nature Hers'elf. Many have magickal bloodlines & traditionally serve a particular community or group such as a village or coven. Many Witches use a Circle to focus & channel their energy. Others use natural objects such as the weather, the Elements, stones, herbs, oils, seashells, sand, etc. Depends on the type & tradition of the Witch. Some use a combination & are Solitary Eclectic. Some Witches specialize but most don't.

Wizards; however, are much more direct with our magick - affecting the physical world directly through sorcery & direct energy chaneling via our Staff; magick that manifests here & now. We get our power through our vast store of knowledge, years of study & practice, and obtaing many arcane secrets. We prefer more scientific experimental methods such as directly harnessing the piezoelectric properties of quartz for spells & elixirs via charging in sunlight or alchemically altering the spagyric properties of herbs to obtain flower essences. Some are Natural Mageborn (like me), others are born Unenchanted & learn sorcery over time. We serve scholarly pursuits in the name of Knowledge because Knowledge is Power. This is why many of us are Classically Trained, & why the greatest secret of Wizardry (meaning "Arte of Wisdom") is to Know Thys'elf. Wizards always specialize into greater & greater specializations. We seeve who we choose including ours'elves (because s'elf care is hella important). A Wizard is only as good as what ze knows!

Why am I a Wizard? Because I have always treated magick like an experiemental science. I was Classically Trained. My power comes from my vast arcane knowledge rather than the spirits I work with, & my spells always outdo what they are supposed to because my magick directly effects the physical world here & now instead of slowly manifesting over time. I value Knowledge, Power, & Wisdom over service to a community. I always use a Staff to focus & channel my power. I spend my time studying energy manipulation techniques from all over the world & have spent my entire life jailbreaking my powers using biohacking techniques.

The reason people don't think we Wizards exist is because they don't believe magick can work the way we make it work. They don't think of magick as an experimental science rather than an art so their abilities, powers, & knowledge of magick are limited & watered down to fit "the norm," and anyone outside of that norm is seen as a threat. So what do they do? They exile us right out of public view, make fun of us, & sweep us under the rug i.e. the magick equivalent of excommunication. My guess is that they are afraid of real power. Fear is the only thing keeping humans from becoming Gods.
