Using Rain water
Since it hasn't stopped raining here in NY, we're going to talk rainwater.
Rainwater has been used in magical practices for centuries by various cultures and traditions. The belief is that rainwater is pure and carries with it the energy of the moisture, air, and earth. Here are some examples of how rainwater can be used in magical practices:
1. Cleansing: Rainwater is believed to be cleansing, and it is commonly used for spiritual cleansing. It can be used to wash crystals, altars, tools, and spaces, to purify and cleanse them from negative energy.
2. Charging: Rainwater can also be used to charge objects with the energy of the earth and the divine. This can include charging crystals, talismans, or any magical tool. Before using rainwater for charging, it is important to set the intention and hold the object in your hands while visualizing the energy you want to infuse it with.
3. Spell work: Rainwater can also be used in spells and rituals. Its purity and association with the divine and the elements can make it a powerful ingredient in any spell that requires an infusion of energy. It can be added to herbal infusions, used in purification baths, or sprinkled around a sacred space to enhance magical energy.
4. Offering: In some cultures, rainwater is considered a sacred offering to the gods and is used as a symbol of gratitude. Offering rainwater to the earth, water, or air can be a powerful act of reverence and can help to deepen your connection with the divine.
5. Divination: Some practitioners believe that rainwater can be used for divination. By capturing rainwater in a clear glass jar or bowl and studying the way the droplets form and move, practitioners can access messages from the divine and gain insights into their spiritual path.
Rainwater is a powerful tool in magical practices. Whether used for cleansing, charging, spell work, offerings, or divination, its association with purity, the elements, and the divine makes it a valuable resource for any practitioner.
