If you want to cleanse something, place it out where it can get rained on. Bring it in and dry it off and it should be good to go. Of course, this works best with ceramics, rust treated metals, and glass. Things made of paper, wood, crystal, or fabrics are generally placed in the sun for a few hours and brought back inside. It is generally believed that crystals don’t like the rain, so don’t leave them out in a thunderstorm unless you’re planning to give one back to a god or goddess.

Erditse and Ambisargus, both gods of storms and the sky, will likely take better to the offering of a crystal than the others will. For them, an offering of a sprig of rosemary or blue forget-me-nots is more appropriate. As always, please ask before you wish to give them anything. They will guide you to what they prefer. These two gods bring rain if they are pleased with the people, yet they can also bring long periods of drought if they aren’t. It also should be noted that, traditionally, they don’t want offerings of milk or buttermilk. If you must give them a drink, beer or whiskey is preferred. As with before, let them tell you where their trees are and pour the drink at the base. The two gods are often thought of as brothers.

Arnemetia, the one who dwells in the sacred grove, may bring you rain, but she is more of a protector than a rain bringer. She often prefers small coin burials or fragrant flowers, but always ask what she wants. She might want something different from you.

Brixta, a goddess of the waters, might use her magic to bring waters from the ground. This is the goddess the water witches ask to help them and, as I don’t know that much about their practices, I’m going to leave it at that. It is best to approach Brixta if you are a practicing water witch and to leave her alone if you do not. She doesn’t like outsiders.
