☽ Witchcraft ☾

now, i’m by no means a weather witch, but using all aspects of the earth is really important to me in my craft. i’ve always been fascinated by clouds on a scientific level, but the significance of them in my witchcraft is quite high, too. i’m even making my own divination system based off of clouds! so, these are my general, personal correspondences for any type of magic.

stratus - hazy, featureless, low-level drizzle clouds - hidden truths, unclear motives. secrets

altostratus - mid-altitude, uniform grey-bluish sheet - strength, stability, prosperity

cirrostratus - high-altitude, thin, wispy, fragmented - beginnings, renewal, wishes

nimbostratus - mid-level, thick, dark formless layer - power, abundance

cumulus - flat-based, puffy - childishness, joy

altocumulus - similar to cirrocumulus but bigger and darker - comfort, safety

cirrocumulus - small, high, patchy. often in rows - dreams, intuition, future thinking

stratocumulus - low-altitude, larger elements than altocumulus, darker - protection, courage, wisdom

cirrus - many altitudes, thin, wispy strands - freedom, travel, adventure

cumulonimbus - intense vertical clouds, rain and storm producing - turmoil, difficult times, change

personally, i use clouds in sigil making (using minimalist depictions or meteorological symbols), divination (more on this soon!), visualisation, and spells where i want my intent to manifest in a productive way. i hope you can use these correspondences, and i’d love to see how you do!

I love this little corner of my desk so much
