Prepare for the purpose a map.

Best if it’s hand-traced from an accurate map, but an image of an accurate map can be printed on paper if necessary.

Ensure the map is sufficiently large and detailed to encompass the entirety of the area to which you wish to call storms, and if possible (not required) print or draw the map on paper prepared first by smoking it with incense or better yet, the smoke of an herb(s) appropriate to your denominations methods for bringing rain. Broom has been used, as have ferns. If this method is chosen ensure adequate ventilation, this is best performed outside.

Once a map is prepared, lay it out and directly above it place a dish of water (rainwater or forgewater is best but not necessary) and have either a feather, a pendulum, or an aspergillum ready. To bring more vicious storms thorns may be burnt to ash, with which the water may be adulterated, to force heavier rain, the ashes of the chosen herbs may be used instead.

Call forth whatever spirits your denomination demands and communicate to them your intent. I use this:

“Tis not a map I wish to wet;

But the lands it holds instead;

And thus where tears of water fall;

let there, instead, great storms be called”

Repeat this as you enter trance, and stir the prepared water until it sighs with power.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a small occult discord with some friends for a little bit now, and it’s about time we opened it up to new membership.

Apocrypha is a new discord server devoted to discussion of occult topics, including astrology, geomancy, tarot, traditional witchcraft, the grimoire tradition, and other occult topics. We welcome people of all backgrounds and traditions, but are strictly an 18+ server, no exceptions.

Currently, we’re accepting new users on an application basis, to ensure new members are a good fit for the current culture of the server. If interested, fill out the google form below, and one of our moderators will be in touch!
