@Ansuz: I don't think it's a matter of "energy level". Maybe somewhere along the way you stopped casting a spell and turned into wishful thinking. This happens more often than people think.
@Tifanny: I disagree, praying and wishing, and spellcasting, are substantially different. Spellcasting "deal" is about using and directing your will, and in a second definition, using natural forces through psychic manipulation to achieve a result. Praying is essentally, asking a Divine being or an exalted spirit to interceed on your behalf to achieve something. Most of the "prayers" used in spellcasting, are actually invocations: calls to the Divine or the Exalted to grant us power to achieve our will. Now, wishing, it's just wishing, there's no will involved.
it's possible, you could go back to basics or do different new spells, I found this prayer from a jewish book, it's possibly from the kabala or a different magick prayer book, I forgot what the book is called do to the fact I lost the book, if I find it I will tell you the prayer inside it. There's different prayers from the jewish and christian jewish books, like one book with powerful prayers that's kind of like a ritualistic magickal way they do it is something that's called shemeria eseri amidah, it's called something like that, they also have the kabala that works with the cosmic energy and God, then there's the prayer book I mentioned, well anyways maybe you could find it, the prayer or prayers call upon God to bring rain and or thunder. I tried it like about a year ago when I didn't lose the book and it worked 98% of the time so I assume it's a powerful prayer. I will try to find the book this week, it would be very good if I found it to share it with you.
Self confidence is very important as is emotion if you do a curse while happy it kind of defeats the point You must not lose faith though keep going and I'm sure they will work again
To be honest, I never thought rain spells even worked... I always thought they were junk. But don't quote me here... I'm not positive.

Carmen actually hits the nail here, exactly my thoughts.
Perhaps this is the little reason that made your spells not to work, since fluffy spells aren't supposed to work.
I am now sure that the reason of doesn't getting effects after casting your spells is because you do not cast the proper spell. If you will keep casting fantasy / fluffy spells, I assure you that they won't work and you'll start thinking that real magick practices do not exist. Also it is easy to see that you are a newbie who hasn't learned the basics.
You need to learn what spells work and what spells do not work.
Just remember that there are two types of spells:
Real magic spells - These are real magic spells that actually work for the magic practitioner if he/she casts it properly. Such spells will work for you if you know what you are doing, if you are experienced and familiar with the basics, and work better if you will choose to follow some optional traditions like : colors, planetary days and hours, moon phases, ritual tools and supplies, etc. Such spells always worked for me if they were casted properly, since they are magic spells that have potentially l to work,. Do not forget that this is about potential, and such spells really have it. By saying real magic spells i mean that these are magic spells that can be cast by magic practitioners. Such spells do not include physical changes and DNA changes, or any actual kind of transformation. This is the other sort of spells i am going to talk about.
Fluffy / fantasy spells - Such spells are not real magic spells. The magic practitioner will not be able to get results from them even if he dedicates as much energy as he can, and even if he / she follows all of the traditions and optional things. It means that they have no potential to work. No matter what the magic practitioner tries to do, and how. Such spells include : transformation, DNA changes, and other kind of things which can be found only in science fiction movies. You are able to avoid such spells by : personal experience, logic sense and maturity.
This thing is very important. The proper spell has a lot to do with managing to cast the spell, it gives the spell most of its potential to work, as i said.
After you know now why your spells did not work , practice real things and then you'll see the effects.

I am sorry Carmen....just because yours doesn't work doesn't mean that it is junk....its just that you are trying to cast a spell without really believing magick even exists... and as you yourself said....You are not positive. I have some news for you: you won't get far in this path|!!
As to tailnose.... thats not how magick works....It doesn't happen immediately...there is no shiny flurries or jiggling to prove that it worked. it takes time. What is magick to you? because to me its the raising and channeling of energy via meditation, willpower, confidence, power of the words, intention ( all the things that require energy to do). it can take 1 hr, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year and even 1 century before it might work. this is depending to the will of the universe. It takes time and what empowers "spells" ( a mean of channeling energy to your will via spoken words and tools that represent what we want to achieve) is faith.
I hope I am not offending anyone here.
Blessed Be!
she has a good point. if you have no belief than you cannot properly channel you energy or for some the ambient energy to accomplish what you wish to accomplish.
Also try a new spell casting structure and see if that helps and see where you went wrong an think positive about it b.b

due to the fact that a spell to manipulate weather is this manner is pure fantasy fiction..."fluff" No faith in magic or skill in the basics is going to change this fact. If you want your spells to be successful you must be sure that you are selecting a valid/plausible spell.
