⛈️Witchy Guide To Weather Magic ⛈️

⛈️Witchy guide to weather magic ⛈️

🌀 Utilizing the different energies around us is a center part of all kinds of witchcraft. Weather witchcraft is what I call a task for an advanced witch. After learning to control energies around you in a small scale, like your own energy field, your home, etc, you can tap into energies that have effect on larger scale, such as the Sun and the seasons, the Moon, it’s phases and the tides, and what we’ll focus on this post: the atmosphere as a whole, and how it’s changes define the weather, the change of energies around us.

Here i’ll share what I’ve learnt through the years and give you my personal approach based on what I’ve learnt from my family and my own experience🌀

⛈️To understand weather witchcraft, you must first understand the science behind it. As with any path of craft, the first step is research. Weather is defined by the atmosphere, specifically one of it’s layers, the one that’s closest to the ground, called troposphere. This layer contains most of Earth’s water vapor, and it’s where clouds form. It’s also where meteorological change occurs. Before trying to change the weather by ourselves, we must know what makes it change naturally, and after years of practice, there are three things basic things I’ve found have to be taken into consideration when spellcrafting, and these three basics are: the Sun, Air and Water⛈️

☀️The Sun: The Sun, or heat, affects the weather through it’s radiation. Warmer temperatures mean more water evaporation, more likely to form clouds and rain. This also ties to water pressence. But more Sun doesn’t always mean more rain, the amount of water that the Sun can evaporate will define how much precipitation there is in the end, as in polar areas rain is rare too, even if water abounds, as the Sun doesn’t really heat it enough to evaporate enough for rain to be common.

🌊 The Water: Water pressence or lack of it affects the weather greatly. One of the first things my mother taught me was that places with large bodies of water nearby, like lakes or the Ocean, have less broad temperature ranges. This means, temperature changes less drastically: if it’s 20°C at mid-day, it’s not gonna be -5°C at night, it’s probably going to be ~10°C. Water, due to it’s chemical properties, absorves a lot of heat, thus absorves the Sun’s radiation easily and prevents the temperature from rising. In desert areas or places with really low humidity, temperature ranges are much broader, for example, 40°C during the day to -10°C at night, since there’s no water to soften the Sun’s effects.

🌪️ The Air: Differences in pressure and temperature cause masses of air to move, as wind. From places with high pressure and temperature, called anticyclones, to places with low temperature and low pressure, cyclones. Research what winds affect your area, where they form and what characteristics (humidity, temperature, etc) they have. Create correspondences for them based on their unique characteristics!

⛈️ General advice ⛈️

⛈️ Research, seriously read as much as you can about geography, the characteristics of the place you’re living in and how the factors mentioned above affect it’s climate.

⛈️ Make correspondences that work for you and make sense to you, corresponding to your area’s geography, the winds affecting it, your usual weather, keep track of it, also make correspondences for the Sun and Moon and Water or Ocean, deities you work with in your craft, their offerings and altar settings, you can include maps and drawings in your grimoire!

⛈️ For temperatures, you can call into Sun deities in your work, or use fire and Sun symbolism, like candles or burning sigils/offerings.

⛈️ If water is lacking in your area, consider calling onto water or ocean deities in your craft, spirits of any nearby rivers or spirits/deities associated to the nearest water source to you.

⛈️ Different winds with different characteristics will also form different fronts when interacting with eachother, research what these are and how they form, call into winds you need to form these fronts and you can even make sigils for that specific wind combination and the front it causes!

⛈️ Ways of weather working ⛈️

⛈️ Cloud/wind reading: also one of the first things my mother taught me, as different winds have different temperatures and humidity, they form specific types of clouds. Just by looking at the sky, their shapes and how many there are or not, or by feeling the wind, where it comes from, how cold or dry it is, you can tell which winds are affecting you at the moment, if there’s just one or more, and how many possibilities you have of rain or a storm forming. For example, I live in the argentinean northern patagonia, which means I’m affected by 4 different types of main winds. If I see clouds like nimbostratus, I know we’re having a wind called sudestada, and we may have storms and even a spring tide due to it’s effects.

⛈️ Make charms: you can make all sorts of easy charms for weather magic. The classic work is the 9 knot spell, but there’s much easier stuff like windchimes to alert of energy changes.

⛈️ Herbs, roots, spices, grains, sand: all of these have different uses in weather magic! Here’s some of my correspondences for water witchcraft, stay tuned to my blog for a future post on what herbs and spices to use specifically for weather workings!

⛈️ Sound: whistling, by yourself or using whistles, are one way to call on wind. If you have any tie to merfolk or know you have weather singing abilities, you can sing too (be aware, not all merfolk like humans singing, can cause with fae troubles too and you may want to avoid this), another good idea is chants or prayers. Making sounds similar to rain falling with instruments like what’s here called a palo de lluvia or small bells also work very well.

⛈️ Warning: use this knowledge responsibly, don’t further help the weather go wild, don’t put other people in risk, thank you ⛈️

⛈️ With Love, Nao ⛈️

Types of Witches (UPDATED)

…A complete masterpost!

Read about the Updates/Notes:

Hello everyone! Here is the updated version of the WITCH TYPES list, including types that were missed and recommended. Please be respectful if there is some form of misinformation or typo on here; I tried my very best and took a lot of my own time and energy to do as thorough research as I could with what I have available, which is a very difficult and long task for somebody with low motivation. I am very in favor of constructive and polite criticism, but I will not tolerate people leaving rude comments without even trying to help me fix and provide the best information possible! Thank you so much to everyone who so kindly informed me of what needed to be polished up and fixed, you are all very lovely people for handling it with patience ~ And keep in mind, beginner witches:

You do not NEED to identify yourself as a type

You can choose to identify yourself as NO type at all

You can choose to identify with as many as you like!

Anyway, enjoy! ➺ Rainy

Each type includes a simplified description (for those who haven’t heard of the type, just to get a generalized idea. The shortened description is in no way meant to be discriminative or disrespectful), a few examples, and almost every bolded term includes a link to a (hand-picked) useful post/website for that type of practice.

Types of Witches

(Some may also fit into the second category)

∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆

Solitary - Practicing by ones’ self; not included in a group

Secular - Non-religious / Not connecting with deity(s)

Eclectic - An individual’s practice that has bits and pieces pulled from different magickal and/or spiritual practices, respectfully

(Theistic) Satanic - Witchcraft that is often centered around honoring and/or working with satan in spellwork and prayer

Athiest/Laveyan Satanic - Witchcraft worked with the idea that satan is a concept, rather than a real person or entity (loosely put; it’s a very detailed concept). Also known as Satanic witches who fit the secular description.

Hereditary/Blood - Including oneself in the practice of witchcraft on the grounds of having been born into a family who also practices. Knowledge and practice may also be passed down through generations, and honor old ways of magick

Traditional - One who practices witchcraft by honoring and using old and ‘traditional’ ways of magick; this type of witch might be one to practice modern methods of magick, but they might also stick to traditional concepts or techniques

Christian - Witchcraft that is performed to honor / or is performed in conjunction with the Christian God as the primary and only deity

Hellenic - A form of non-witchcraft practice in which the practicer follows Greek ideals/culture and honors the Greek pantheon

Celtic - Magickal practice that is based from the Celtic culture, including its’ mythology, deities, old ways, and (occasionally) language / symbols. May also describe those who only worship Celtic gods

Science - A form of magick in which both metaphysical ideas and scientific facts/theories are mixed in together by the individual practicer

Types of Witchcraft

Keep in mind that each term’s explaination is the basic description of that type of witchcraft/magick; each individual witch might be a certain type but define it differently, as their practice may be different from the next witch

∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆∴.*☆

Green - Utilizing greenery/plants/herbs/flowers in herbal and natural magick, such as creating blends of different plants or using primarily herbs in spellwork

Hedge - Also known as an astral title, a type of magick that is oriented around more spiritual work; astral travel/projection, lucid dreaming, spirit-work, healing, and out-of-body experiences are all practices included in this magick

Dream - (A possible variation of Hedge) Mindful and internal magickal practice mainly based from interpreting dreams and/or engaging in lucid dreaming. Those who intensify as this may “de-code” symbols and messages in the dream world similar to how one would use a divination technique.

Sea - A type of magick derived from materials and abstract ideas involving the ocean and oceanic world. Sea/Ocean magick can be worked using seashells and bones, sea weed, beach sand, driftwood, ocean water, etc. and a sea witch might draw their energy from that of the sea!

Storm/Weather - Magick that is worked by combining one’s energy with the energy of the weather, and most commonly rain. Weather witches will do things like collect rain/snow water, absorb the energy of a lightning storm, “whistle up” or manipulate wind, predict the weather, etc.

Cottage / Hearth - (A slight variation from kitchen) Magick that is weaved, worked, or embued into mundane tasks around the house or for loved ones. Cottage/Hearth magick may be worked into daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, or any hobbies

Kitchen - Magick that is worked specifically through “kitchen craft” such as herbal mixtures, brewing, baking, and cooking, and honors many aspects of the natural world: including herbs, crystals, fey, and the elements

Tea - Those who drink tea, make tea, use tea-leaf divination, or enjoy blending herbal remedies! A variant of Kitchen/Cottage witch

Tech - Magick that is skillfully worked through technology! A tech witch will most likely have at least a few magickal apps on their phone, digital sigils, or an online/digital BoS and/or Grimoire

Garden - While having a garden and/or working in any type of garden; magick that is mostly (if not all) herbal and botanical-related! Garden witches take pride and find it calming or invigorating to work the earth, harvest that which they have planted, and are closely related to Green type

Elemental - Magick that is worked by honoring/acknowledging the 4 or all 5 elements: Water, Earth, Air, Fire, and Spirit. Commonly an Elementalist will dedicate different areas of their altars to each element, call upon them during spells and rituals, and use symbols to represent each

Water - Specifically centered on the element of Water; water scrying, collecting sea/storm/snow/river/spring water, swimming/bath spells and other water-related actives, creating and using symbols associated with water

Earth - Specifically centered on the element of Earth; grounding exercises, rock/soil collecting, strong appreciation of the natural world, creating and using symbols associated with earth

Urban Primative/City - For those who live or prefer the urban/city lifestyle; magick that can be worked without the seemingly “traditional” ways of witchcraft

Faery/Fey - Magick for those who communicate and work with the fey during spells and rituals. Usually, those who work with the fey may also leave offerings regularly, as thanks for the assistance of a faery in their spellwork.

Spirit Working - A practice in which the person will perform spellwork in conjunction with or with the help of any manner of spirit. This includes Ouija, (sometimes) demon spirits, spiritual contact, etc.

Draconian - Refers to type of magick for those who call upon or work with dragons and dragon imagery in their practice; whether it be through astral matters or in spells and rituals

Seasonal - Witches who utilize and draw energy from the specific times of year for their magick, sort of how a person might have a strong love or connection to a certain time of year! This can also be spread out into Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer witches

Embroidery / Sewing / Knit - One who embues magick into household “stitching” or “string” hobbies such as embroidery, sewing, knitting, stringing, and knotting ~ Basically, one who identifies with using knot or chord magick in many different skills

Paper - Magick that is worked with, essentially, paper! Burning paper written with sigils, chants, symbols or spells, creating magickal offerings, items, or sachels from paper, etc.

Music - Magick that is worked with music, musical chimes, or rhythm!

Chaos/Chaotic - A type of magick utilizing new, non-traditional, and unorthodox methods. It is a new and highly individualistic practice, while still drawing from other common forms of magick.

Animal - (A variant of Green) Magick that is strongly tied to the animal kingdom, which includes a deep appreciation for all animals, and most often: usage of animal materials in spellwork. An animal witch will most likely be one who loves animals, a person who animals are immediently “drawn” to, and those who appreciate the natural world. Some animal witches might also use bones, wings, feathers, fur, skin, scales, (etc). from deceased animals in their magick, if they choose to do so.

Sanguine - Meaning “blood” or “blood red color” in Latin, a type of magick that deals with blood or other life giving fluid; life blood can also be represented through things such as water, or nutrients. A term for those who work with blood and life-oriented magick!

Art/Craft - Witchcraft that can be worked through arts and crafts, simply put! One may embue macgick in creative activities such as painting, drawing, building, cutting, creating, etc.

Grey - A neutral witch, who practices magick that neither benefits or harms others. Grey magick may also both harm and benefit at the same time, balancing and neutralizing.

Bone - Witches who commonly collect, clean, and use animal bones in their magickal practice, and for things like altar decoration or magick-infused charms/jewelry. Materials used by those who identify as Bone witches are usually collected peacefully or after the being has passed on naturally!

Lunar - One who works magick with / honors the moon and it’s energy and phases. This type of witch is also one to favor casting magick during the night hours rather than during the day

Astronomy/Space - (A wider variant of lunar) Those who practice magick and correlate their beliefs in conjunction with the planets and stars! These witches may focus their magick with the properties of each planet, regularly read a horoscope or study astrology, and have a love of the stars and the night.

Crystal - Magick that is worked commonly with stones and crystals, such as during spellwork or for crystal healing techniques.

Good day Diana 😁 I wonder, if I do the Celtic cross for, say, a job. And the beginning seems good, but the ultimate outcome is bad. Could I simply quit the job? Would the bad outcome still happen? Or just happen sooner? Is it possible to get out of the ending of the Celtic cross or is it sure to happen? Are there indicators?

How to Change the Future that Tarot Predicted

1) Look at the advice card in the spread.

If the ultimate outcome is good, this card will help you ensure that it happens.

If the ultimate outcome is bad, this card will tell you how to avoid it.

2) Look at the card at the bottom of the deck.

If the overall reading is positive, this card will tell you how to make it last.

If the overall reading is negative, this card will tell you how to change things.

Shady Grove is haunted by her father's death and his lost fiddle that could summon ghosts. When tragedy strikes her family again and her brother is arrested for murder, Shady sets out to find the fiddle and wrest answers from the dead.

This book is perfectly southern gothic and very creepy! I was immediately drawn in by the lyrical writing, descriptions of rural Florida, and the characters. This is probably the most country YA novel I've read and I loved it! I love the unique but relatable cast of characters and their bond as bluegrass musicians. Yes, these teens live and breathe bluegrass and it's amazing. There's LGBTQ+ rep (Shady is bi and at least two other characters are queer), some diversity in the characters (Cuban-American), and major differences in socio-economic status. There's also a murder mystery plot, generational trauma and secrets, romance, heartache, and reconciliation. And lots of scary ghosts, nightmares, and wasps!

I would recommend to fans of The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater, Dress Codes for Small Towns by Courtney Stevens, and Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak.

Hi love! Thank you for all the work you do — your blog is incredible. I wanted to ask you about offerings. I know you mentioned dark chocolate when you do personal readings; what else do you use for offerings, and can you talk about them in general? I haven't seen anything about offerings on your blog, so my apologies if you answered this already! Thank you so much!

What You Can Offer the Old Gods

They do not live on mortal land. We kindly summon them to us. So before every offering, ask, “Will this be worth their journey or not?”

FOOD THAT SATISFIES

During a ritual or ceremony, offer them a full course meal, complete with fruit, meat, bread and wine. Something abundant, fragrant and befitting a god.

FOOD THAT IMPRESSES

When you come across unique food, give them some. Luxurious chocolates… a specialty from a city you visited… Anything worthy of their interest.

FOOD THAT TOUCHES

Each time you bake, give the first batch to the gods. Even if your sweets are nothing too remarkable or elegant, it is your effort that you offer.

OBJECTS THAT HONOR

A silver arrow for Diana. A porcelain shell for Venus. A music box for Apollo. Anything related to the gods’ identity, or whatever reflects their personality.

OBJECTS THAT CONNECT

A tarot deck… a scrying mirror… a rune set… Any conduit for visions or messages. Offer it up to the gods, so that they may speak to you through it.

OBJECTS THAT ENDEAR

A poem for Mercury… your trophy for Mars… your medal for Saturn… Even cheap items, if they mean something to you, will be something to them too.
