A Bit of Weather Magick
From Spinning Spells, Weaving Wonders By Patricia Telesco



Sprinkle rice clockwise while another person or a musical tape plays slowly increasing drum beats. This sympathetic magic can work to bring rain or snow; for rain, I suggest dyeing the rice blue. This type of rain magic was common in the ancient Far East. Alternative tools here include shaking a rattle or rain stick (an African tradition), turning on a sprinkler, or even using a spritzer bottle. In European folklore it is said that hitting wet rags against stone or shaking a wet broom upon the ground can similarly encourage precipitation. Spell Usage Moderating or changing certain weather patterns. Spell Timing November and December. Waxing moon to bring a specific type of weather, waning moon to stop it. Water signs and Wednesday to encourage precipitation, fire signs and Sunday for dryness.
