We’ve had rain for days now – deluges, sprinkles, and steady
pattering of rain on grey days. It’s made me a little cranky, because I haven’t
had the chance to be out in the garden.
But rain is great for magical work! I sometimes save a
little bit in a bowl and bring it inside for some divination. I sit in a dark
room light a candle near the bowl. This tends to be more dramatic-looking if
the bowl is black – it really lends that scrying mirror effect. If I get it
just right, the flame looks like the moon on water. It’s great for meditation.
I zone out and usually get some great insights.
Here’s a little bit of magic that’s good for releasing
things that no longer serve you. These can be habits, people, feelings, or
pretty much anything else. I have several flat stones in my garden that I
sometimes write these things on with chalk. When it rains, the drops wash the
words away. I visualize these things being rinsed away from my life. For an
extra magical punch, I recommend doing this during a waning moon. You can also
put a stone in each of the four directional quarters (east, south, west, and
north), plus one in the center for spirit, and write your petition to the
elements on each one.
I may snag a bit of rainwater today to put into my bath for
a little extra purification mojo. Do you have any rain secrets you’d like to share?
it is currently raining here- I am now sticking bottles and bowls outside to catch some clean water for magick work.
ReplyDeleteI had to move my seedlings - I'm afraid they might drown!
DeleteOh yes, I need to collect some rainwater! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAnytime! We've had so much rain this spring. I have been using it for everything from floor wash to water the indoor plants! :-)
DeleteThank you for showing how to use it. Most of these people won't tell you how to use it.
