Storm Water

fumbletongue:

Storms are powerful and devastating things. They destroy crops and harm livestock. Many people would create charms to protect those and theirs from the power of storms. Because of their destructive and unpredictable nature storm water is very useful in chaotic magic, curses, and even in protection magic if used in such a manner.

Harnessing storm water is simple enough, leave a container out during a storm to collect it. I personally am very fond of glass containers as they are easy to acquire, won’t rust, and are typically easy to seal and save.

You can use the water to consecrate bones, tools, or crystals. I personally am fond of using storm water for sea witchcraft. 

Some ways to use the water:

• Spread the water along the outside of your property. Any who enter with harmful intent will disturb this ring of a storm. 
• Protect your garden in a similar manner (though I would be hesitant to actually water plants with storm water as the outcome is uncertain).
• Windowsills and doorways are also great places for protection magic.
• Curses that need good bases can always depend on storm water.
• Enchanting jewelry or spell books with storm water for protection or curses is also a suggestion.
• Coat a page in storm water and then write your curse.

Storms can be devastating but they are also beautiful and powerful things. In their wake there is always rebirth, whether rebuilding or replanting. 

This is something to bear in mind when using storm water. There is a cycle of life and death and storms are merely a small part of it.
