It was a curse/binding jar. Not to go into details, but a family member was getting wrongfully sued. I made the target a sigil and drew it on a photo of her pulled from her social media profile. What a perfect way to symbolize her at a distance, right?

I put it into the jar (containment) with a combination of salt (purification of her actions), three kinds of pepper including cayenne (to burn false words), and filled the jar with vinegar (to sour people against her lies). Every time I needed to vent my anger, I’d shake up the jar until the paper melted to nothing.

I mostly worked with @strangesigils​‘s rain signs, because I’ve had really good luck with them in the past for more immediate “hey the conditions are right please rain instead of passing us by” work. I just cast them regularly throughout the dry season to see what would happen. No schedule, just as I remembered. 

The rainfall year starts in October, so I started tracking rain there using our rain station to make sure it was precise through the whole rain year and to avoid the double-counting the station tends to do. In essence, if the rain gauge is at 0.5 inches at midnight, it tends to count it as 0.5 the day before and 0.5 the day after. Results below as of today. 

There was a huge and unexpected uptick in January despite predicted dryness. Basically, we got “atmospheric rivers” nearly every week for three months. As of today, the rainfall totals are within rounding error of my goal of twice annual rainfall. There haven’t been floods in my area, and everything is finally GREEN again. Though my partner is irritated by having to weed-whack, I’d call this a success.
