From My Experience As A Catholic In My Younger Years, It Greatly Depends On Your Religion Or Spiritual

From my experience as a Catholic in my younger years, it greatly depends on your religion or spiritual practice. For example, my household did the "give up something for Lent" and "no meat on Fridays". Grandma Betty who was older and didn't do much extra activities only ate one meal a day, and her cheat days was every other Sunday she would have a small piece of Coffee Cake after our whole family had a two hour prayer session of praying the Rosary and praying to all the saints. This was also the time, she would donate money to her favorite causes and charities, and if she could she donate extra. So, in a way, fasting from technology would count.

what are some substitutions for fasting? My current job/lifestyle doesn't allow for me to just go without meals. Are there alternatives when rituals call for it? Could something like a technology fast be equivalent?

I don't have enough knowledge to provide an answer to this.

If you're looking for additional information on working with the weather as part of your practise, I recommend having a look at Debra L. Burris' 'Weather Magic: Witchery, Science, Lore'

Whistling Up a Wind

Ocean Currents

Weather Fronts

Clouds

Rain

Snow / Sleet / Hail

Thunderstorms

Lightning

Tornadoes

I hate adulting, and I especially hate having to adult even though my IBS is flaring up. But hopefully, I can go for a walk today. Then I need to summon some weather witches, actually all the witches. Certain states have had tornadoes, Oklahoma and Kansas, had fires and dust bowl conditions with how bad the wind has been, and now there is word of snow!

I'm going to make dinner, clean up, and work on my Grimoire some more, and maybe even make another post.

I did settle for my 3 ring binder for now, I like having the ability to change around what goes where. I am also visual and touch person, having something in my hands helps me keep focused. Plus, with my current situation, I have no laptop and no home Internet, just my phone.

As for Calling Corners, I actually did learn a few things, thank you y'all for helping. I did learn some new names I wasn't familiar with so I was able to do more research.
