Stormcraft: A Guide to Wind Magic and Weather Work

Stormcraft is the magical practice of harnessing the power of wind, storms and weather to be used in your own personal craft. Storm Witches are witches who have devoted themselves to the art of weather work and storm manipulation.

//Tools of the Trade//

Fallen or Broken Branches

Stones or Crystals

Ashes

Storm Water and Rain Water

Hail and Snow

Storm Mud

//Storm Water//

Good for Curses and Protection.

Associated with Chaos, Struggle, Passionate Emotions, Weathering a Storm and Power.

//Whistling the Wind//

A traditional practice in many aboriginal and indigenous cultures (one particular Native American story comes to mind that says that if you whistle while hunting for a bear’s den it is considered very bad luck, as you will attract the wind and give away your position. Yikes!)

A low pitch whistle summons a light breeze.

A high pitch whistle summons a large gust of wind.

//Methods of Storm Casting and Summoning//

Burning Pansy, Heather and Saffron (Rain-Bringing and Wind-Calling Herbs)

Stirring water clockwise in either a ceramic bowl or a hold in the ground and whistling.

Sending a large burst of energy into a cumulus cloud.

//Storm Catching//

One can catch and bind a storm using a bottle or jar charm or a rope or knot spell to put away for later use.

//Preventing a Storm//

“Blow it away” using whistling and weather maps for visualization.

//Good herbs for Storm Witches//

Saffron: To Call the Wind

Heather: To Bring the Rain

Pansy: To Make Rain

//Good Stones for Storm Witches//

Pietersite (Tempest Stone)

Hemimorphite

Azurite

Malachite

Nebula Stone

Lapis Lazuli

//To Make a Storm’ Witches Bath//

You can use this as a storm summoning spell, too, by stirring the bath water and whistling.

Sea Salt

Heather

Saffrom

Pansy

Rosemary

//Nephelomancy: Cloud Colors// • White: good fortune • Golden: prosperity and abundance • Silver: blessings and riches • Red: warning • Orange: vibrancy, lively • Brown: cloudy future, caution • Green: fruitful, beginnings • Blue: travel, movement • Black: self-realization, difficult times ahead

Also called Aeromancy or Nephelomancy, I’ve searched and searched for a good post on cloud scrying and came up with nothing so I did some research and came up with my own! Here goes :3

Types of clouds// (Highest to lowest altitude) //name/appearance/weather//

•Cirrus (wispy ‘mares tails’) Fair •Cirrostratus (thin sheets)12-24 to precip •Cirrocumulus (rippled ‘scales’) Fair •Nimbostratus (thick rain cover) Storms •Altostratus (‘boring’) steady precip soon •Altocumulus (vertical streaks) precip •Stratocumulus (puffy) Dry •Stratus (hazy) Mist/Fog •Cumulonimbus (thunderheads) Storms •Cumulus (puffy) Fair

//The cumulus and stratocumulus are the easiest clouds for scrying because they often form shapes. Here are the basic shapes and their meanings, but remember that scrying is up to the interpretation of the viewer 🙂

•horse- movement, travel •lion- protection, courage •rabbit- love •bird- rising above obstacles •dragon- imagination, creativity •unicorn- transcendence •tree- growth, change •flower- beauty, peace •Woman- power, guidance, love •Man- Diligence •Cross- convergence •Heart- introspection

//Energy in the Forces of Nature//

❣ Eyeliner Magick ❣

Eyeliner wings can be both frustrating and satisfying. There are so many styles, shapes, colors, and techniques for applying them. 

Corner to Outer Lid - Openness to new experiences and people. Use this technique if you’re feeling or want to feel particularly social or creative.

Outer Lid to Corner - Protection. Use this technique if you feel a bit reclusive or are not in a very social mood and want to go about your business in solitude.

Short and Clean - Organization and task completion. Making good first impressions and completing business/work tasks efficiently. (Photo Source, originally from the user who’s @ is under the brow line. I can’t make out what it is, unfortunately.) 

Chunky/Thick - Power and confidence. Wear this style when you need a little confidence boost or are about to enter a confrontational or negotiation situation. (Photo Source)

Hymn to Bast

To Bast who grants the best of blessings, I offer my praise. O mighty Eye of Ra, O slayer of the serpent, Mistress of Bubastis, your city of famous name: well-honored you were in the fairest of temples, well-loved you remain throughout the wide world. Preserver against all ills that plague us, Protector against all foes that imperil us, Yours is the care of humanity, our shelter and our shield. Yours too is the sistrum, the sweetness of sound, the joy and the pleasure of dance, the delight of good company, laughter and song; O goddess of merriment and mirth, I thank you for good friends and good cheer, for respite and rest, for the comfort of love. Defender of the good and the right, I honor you, O goddess. Devourer of evil and disorder, I honor you, O Bast.

Tips for writing spells:

If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard. If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step If you want to destroy its influence, burn it. If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary

MAGIC MEMORY AID

Sprinkle ground cinnamon and cloves into some honey—rosemary honey, if at all possible.

Add a few drops of pure vanilla extract.

Inhale the fragrance and let the dish sit beside you for a minimum of an hour while you’re studying.

Just before the exam, slide a sprig of rosemary through the scented honey and rub it against the back of your neck.
