Do weather spells work?

Shamans used to have to split clouds in their trials or bring the rains, although it may of been possible that information seems lost to us. As lark has said many times "magick works at its own pace and time". If you want it to snow where that is not possible then the chances are that it wont. If you are in an area where it rains and you wanted it to rain chances are it will.

However is this is due to luck or chance or the magick it is hard to say. (personal opinion)

Weather spells are a grey area, some feel they work, others don't. [i'm personally on the fence] while you can cast a rain spell and it rains [see rain dances and other historical practices] one hand it could of been the spell, on the other it might of been scheduled to rain because of the patterns in your area. keep in mind, you are effecting everyone with weather spells, since you can't just make a storm cloud appear above your head, you therefore need to move whole weather patterns, causing other areas to get rain, or no rain, which may or may not need the water.

casting a weather spell for snow in the desert is very unlikely to happen due to the climate. [mind you the middle of the night gets rather cold, but i don't know if it snows] so one of the limits would be the natural climate [because magick is limited by nature after all] i suggest saving up some money and vacationing for a week where there is snow. keep in mind how much you would like to see because certain areas get more than others, and you don't want to be trapped in a blizzard. [while fun, three days indoors when you're due at work isn't ideal]

if you do choose to cast a weather spell, study first and decide for yourself if they are possible or not. if they are in your opinion, think long and hard before casting. like i said, you could cause a lot of trouble for a lot of people.

Weather spells don't work. But even if they did, it would cause many problems. For example. If you want it to rain, it would take it from somewhere else and that place would suffer.

If they did work.

Of course a snow spell won't work in the middle of the summer. Weather spells are more complicated than just "i want this to happen". Much like any other spell. If you cast a money spell the money doesn't just show up, it had to come from somewhere. As with weather spells, the weather had to come from somewhere. You should envision the wind coming from the north or north east (if there's an ocean on the east). You want the cold from the north and the precipitation from the water.

Being that it is much less likely to snow in the summer, a snow spell would be much less likely to work. If anything that might bring rain.

I'm not saying a weather spell is guaranteed to work, but no spell is guaranteed to work.

It was supposed to snow 2-3 inches here last week, but i wanted off school. I cast a spell for more snow. Much much more snow. We got 8 ish inches when i woke up the next day. School was canceled.

Spells can only work within the realm of possibility. And weather spells can only work within the realm of possibility of the weather.

I live in florida, so if I used a snow weather spell- no dice. However, if it is raining a drizzle or so outside and I want to take my dog out for a walk, then sure, a spell to stop the rain can work. It works if it's practical. So yes, they work, but don't expect for it to stop a hurricane or something large and impossible.

They don't, you can't control the forces of the universe, they control you.

no, if they did it would snow during the summer and 100 degrees in the winter. also there wouldn't be deserts.

no they do work.
