4 Weather Spells from Shaman's Way
#1 - A Fire Protection Spell
Lay the fires, but do not light them. Next to each, place enough fuel to keep them burning at least half an hour.
Walking up to the south first, light the fire, shouting these words as you do:
Nothing from the south can harm me!
Move to the west.
Light the fire and say:
Nothing from the west can harm me!
Then to the north and repeat, and finally the east.
Snatch up a burning stick from the southern fire and thrust it at the sky above you(be careful of burning sparks and ashes) and say:
Nothing from above can harm me!
Next throw the flaming wood on the earth and say:
Nothing from below can harm me!
Replace the stick in the southern fire and sit in the center of the circle, watching the fires burn. As necessary, add more fuel. Know that the fires are literally burning away all that comes to harm you, on every level.
Firmly implant in your mind the sight of the fires burning around you, the feel of their heat(which can become intense), their light, and their protective qualities.
When the fires begin to die and you feel the power ebbing, bury the fires with earth or sand, douse with water, and obliterate the circle you've drawn on the ground.
Leave the area but retain the fiery circle of protection within your memory, so that it can be recalled at any time you feel the need for protection: physical, spiritual, or mental.
If you are prevented from performing this ritual outdoors, substitue four large red candles for the fires. Proceed with the spell above, lighting the candles rather than fires, until all four are lit and you have said the words.
Then, instead of taking a burning stick, pick up the southern candle and hold it carefully over your head. Say the words, then place the candle on the ground, saying those words. When the ritual is done, pinch out the candles, beginning with the west (never blow them out).

#2 - Purification
If you wish to be free from habit, thought, idea, past associations, guilt, or blockage; take the symbols of that problem--whatever it may be-- and throw them onto a raging fire. The fire will consume the power they had over you.
For the symbols, think a moment--if you overeat, take a portion of your favorite food and throw it in. For smoking or drinking, do the same. For problems that utilize no concrete objects, draw a symbol or image and burn it.

Translation.
THIS IS TO FRIGHTEN A STORM.
Yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi',
Yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi', yuhahi'--Yû!
Listen! O now you are coming in rut. Ha! I am exceedingly afraid of you. But yet you are only tracking your wife. Her footprints can be seen there directed upward toward the heavens. I have pointed them out for you. Let your paths stretch out along the tree tops (?) on the lofty mountains (and) you shall have them (the paths) lying down without being disturbed, Let (your path) as you go along be where the waving branches meet. Listen!
Explanation.
This formula, from A`yû'ninï's book, is for driving away, or ''frightening'' a storm, which threatens to injure the growing corn. The first part is a meaningless song, which is sting in a low tone in the peculiar style of most of the sacred songs. The storm, which is not directly named, is then addressed and declared to be coming on in a fearful manner on the track of his wife, like an animal in the rutting season. The shaman points out her tracks directed toward the upper regions and begs the storm spirit to follow her along the waving tree tops of the lofty mountains, where he shall be undisturbed.
The shaman stands facing the approaching storm with one hand stretched out toward it (the knife in hand). After repeating the song and prayer he gently blows in the direction toward which he wishes it to go, waving his hand in the same direction as though pushing away or cutting the storm. A part of the storm is usually sent into the upper regions of the atmosphere. If standing at the edge of the field, he holds a blade of corn in one hand while repeating the ceremony.
