A warding spell to protect an area against severe storm and weather

by Rainy-Day-Witchcraft

Materials

• Storm water
• Sea salt 
• Heather
• Black Pepper
• Thistle
• Ground wood charcoal
• Oven mits / Heat handling tools

Disclaimer: Some may develop hives or experience itch when physically dealing with thistle – if you have never worked with it before, find out if it’s safe for you to handle, as you would any herb or plant.

Step 1. In a fire-safe pot or cauldron sitting over a stove or fire, pour in about two cups of storm or rain water and a few tablespoons of salt. One by one, add in the ingredients as the water warms, speaking aloud or thinking of the properties of each ~ Heather (linked to mists and rain), Black pepper (earthly protection), Thistle (protection and banishment), and wood charcoal ground to a chalky powder (protection and banishment). 

Allow your herbal water mixture to seep on a low temperature for a few minutes (if you’re using a non-stovetop fire, bring the water to an almost-boil and remove from heat source for a few minutes). 

After the mixture has seeped, turn the heat up to high or return to heat source and allow it to come to a rolling boil; our goal here is to produce steam, so be sure it’s at the boiling point where a good amount is evaporating! 

Step 2. Using heat handling tools or mits, carry the pot/cauldron to an area that is exposed to the outside air; you can choose to do this outside, or if the weather does not allow it, in front of an open window. If you are already working over an outdoor fire, staying where you are is fine! 

Place the pot in front of you and allow the steam from the boiled mixture to waft up into the sky or out the window. As you watch, envision that the essence and energy from the herbs traveling up into the sky with the steam; it eases the clouds, quiets the winds, and banishes the danger. Continue to watch the steam until it cools and no longer produces as much, visualizing the clouds relieving their tension and the wind blowing them away. During this time you can recite a chant, blow on the steam, etc! 

Step 3. When the above step is finished and the steam has diminished, it’s time to do away with the remaining watery plant pulp that did not evaporate. If the weather condones it, dig a small hole in the earth and pour the mixture into it; Mix it counter-clockwise three times with your finger, a wand, an athame, or a branch, and then proceed to cover the hole up with soil (feel free to once again chant or visualize). If the weather is still looking too severe to step outside, store the mixture in an air-tight jar and in a dark space (to prevent mold growth) until the storm subsides ~ It is then that you should bury the mixture. This protects the earth, and in turn the area you perform the spell around, from the damage of severe weather!

now, i’m by no means a weather witch, but using all aspects of the earth is really important to me in my craft. i’ve always been fascinated by clouds on a scientific level, but the significance of them in my witchcraft is quite high, too. i’m even making my own divination system based off of clouds! so, these are my general, personal correspondences for any type of magic.

stratus – hazy, featureless, low-level drizzle clouds – hidden truths, unclear motives. secrets

altostratus – mid-altitude, uniform grey-bluish sheet – strength, stability, prosperity

cirrostratus – high-altitude, thin, wispy, fragmented – beginnings, renewal, wishes

nimbostratus – mid-level, thick, dark formless layer – power, abundance

cumulus – flat-based, puffy – childishness, joy

altocumulus – similar to cirrocumulus but bigger and darker – comfort, safety

cirrocumulus – small, high, patchy. often in rows – dreams, intuition, future thinking

stratocumulus – low-altitude, larger elements than altocumulus, darker – protection, courage, wisdom

cirrus – many altitudes, thin, wispy strands – freedom, travel, adventure

cumulonimbus – intense vertical clouds, rain and storm producing – turmoil, difficult times, change

personally, i use clouds in sigil making (using minimalist depictions or meteorological symbols), divination (more on this soon!), visualisation, and spells where i want my intent to manifest in a productive way. i hope you can use these correspondences, and i’d love to see how you do!
