The forecast has been teasing rain for weeks but keeps underdelivering.

Tbh, it's the same where I am. I've been tempted to go out into the yard with a broom and a bucket. There's an old folk magic spell that calls for flinging water from a bucket over your yard with the bristles of a broom and yelling up at the clouds, "SEE? IT'S NOT HARD!"

(Not the literal incantation, but a rough translation from the original language. It's been a long time since I read the source where I got the idea, but I feel like it was Italian or Polish maybe? Not sure. If I find it later, I'll update the post.)

There are storm systems nearby, they're just not passing over my area. What I'm probably going to do if it doesn't rain by this evening is take my jar of storm water from the June moon and scatter it over my yard with one of my asperging bundles, then call up to the clouds, "Okay, your turn!"

Weather magic is one of the few areas where my witchcraft actually intersects with my paganism since two of my patrons are storm gods. I've also been beseeching Lugh and Thor all morning like, "Come on guys, it's gonna be the perfect night for a friendly joust, let's throw some spears and hammers and shake the rain loose of the clouds, how bout it?" I'll probably be putting out some whiskey as an offering / gentle bribe when I get home too.

The windows are open. 🪟

My joints ache, but it's so peaceful and smells so earthy.
