Newbie thread 2.0

well I personally believe you cant control the weather. If I could do that I'd make it sunshine everyday. but I cant because no one can

Weather magick is something you either believe in or don't,I personally believe in it however with limits,you can't use magick to make it snow in summer

I think weather magick increases the chance of that particular weather(rain for example) happening

Overall a good post:)

Another tip for beginners would be to learn protection spells and cleansing spells as these come in handy

I agree with you.on post #4

There is actually a song you could sing to stop heavy rain, if you wish. Its amazing and so powerful. I've only done it once, together with my teacher. It was my first practise on completely putting an end to heavy rain...

You will need a guitar for this one to play a tune as you sing a chant over and over. The lightning then strikes, the heavy rain stops, and the clouds in the sky will give way to the stars to shine down on you...

Thanks for the feedback guys

I am gonna disagree with the weather magick bit too. No, I don't think someone can randomly summon a tornado or force it to be sunny during a bad storm. But I do think one can lessen the chance of rain, help bring a cool front in quicker and other little things.

Also Don Lewis, who heads the Correllian Wiccan tradition, talks about it in several places in his Witch School book/web lesson series. He said it isn't uncommon for when a big pagan gathering is going to happen, to have a few weather witches try to keep the weather favorable for the scheduled event date.

Humans have no influence on weather conditions whatsoever. Weather conditions are caused by events far beyond the control of Humans.
Billions of Dollars have been spent, and are still being spent, on the study of weather patterns and conditions, in order to give accurate weather forecasts (and even they are not always accurate).
So let's have this nonsense put to an end on this, so-called serious, site.
Humans cannot control, or have any influence whatsoever, on weather conditions. You cannot make it rain. You cannot stop rain. You cannot raise wind. You cannot stop wind.
All weather conditions were occurring on this planet long before Humans existed. And they will go on occurring long after Humans become extinct.
So stop posting this nonsense. All you are doing is making yourself look foolish.

(I'll play dumb.)

What is a rain dance?
I have heard that large groups of people try to summon rain.
Is there any cultural significance to that?
Or are all those people just loonie in having that belief?
