Emporiblog - Rain Water

-
Hello all!! Today we're going to talk about the uses of Rain Water in Witchcraft!!



We've already covered Storm Water, the lightning charged cousin of Rain Water, so, we might as well cover Rain Water especially since it's raining right now!!


In the UK, we get a lot of rain and that's no exaggeration so it makes sense for us to make use of a natural ingredient for our craft!! Let's have a look at some of the numerous things you can do with Rain Water....



Uses of Rain Water in Witchcraft

Here are some of the many uses of Rain Water:


- Base for sprays
- Protection
- Cleansing - sprays, floor wash, bath water etc
- Anointing
- Offerings
- Blessing spaces
- Circle casting
- Scrying (place in a black bowl)
- Plant water - with intention
- Kitchen Witchery - with intention
- Charging crystals
- Growth
- Rebirth



Of course, the properties of Rain Water can change or be enhanced depending on when and where it's collected, including the following:

Moon Phase

New - Bringing in, new projects

Waxing - New beginnings/opportunities, blessings

Full - Purification, offerings, ritual/spell tool cleansing/blessings

Dark/Waning - Hex breaking and Banishing



Rain collected from a tree

Rowan - Strength, boosting Magick

Oak - Healing, strength, offerings/god energy, longevity

Birch - Purification, fertility/birth, rebirth, cleansing

Hazel - Divination, strength, wisdom

Holly - Courage, masculine energy, authority

Ash - Spiritual work, balance

Elder - Prosperity, healing, Goddess energy, wisdom

Elm - Protection

Hawthorne - Love, cleansing, The Fae

Pine - Cleansing, prosperity, healing, fertility

(If collecting from a tree, I would advise against consuming unless you are 100% sure it's safe to drink). 


There are Baneful uses of Rain Water but the internet isn't providing much in the way of answers.



I think we'll leave this here!! As always, dress appropriately for Rain Water collecting and do not consume unless you're 100% sure that it is safe to drink!!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
