Weather witches unite! Options

How many of you out there like to experiment with the unstable forces we call the weather?

I do!

Any tips/tricks having to do weather magick would be greatly appreciated!

Also, stories of successful weather witching would be interesting as well!

When I was small I used to say "Rain, rain go away. Come again some other day. Little Goibniu wants to play." Does that count? I don't recall it working.

ok so i am intuitive about of a lot of things i do, the weather and everything else. i am not one to cite a grimoire, or study in depth magic. i do not necessarily like chants or candles or the works, however i will use them from time to time. I like the spiritual freedom magic can bring to a situation. It is inspiring just to let it flow through me and to exchange positive energies with the universe. in this way, i can partially will, but mostly ask, in good faith, for the weather to clear up when i am on the road. It usually grants me my request, and there is an affectionate relationship there. Also, i can usually tell when it will storm, before it is even cloudy and if its a big one, i request that my house will be spared. I have huge respect for elementals. they can be very sweet and benevolent, awesome beings of mischief and play and chaos that they are, but it is easy to forget that they can knock houses down.
there was one time, when i was 12 and messing with the weather, i brought a storm brewing. unfortunately, i didnt know what i was doing and my sister ended up being knocked down my a strong wind and had to go get stitches.

i have never made it snow ( i dont really like snow) but i have gotten heads ups before. and usually i can convince the rain to hold out until i get inside.

another thing that is slightly off topic: the trees, if you listen to them, will readily tell you if its going to rain. a couple days in advance at least.
note! i always make sure to thank the elements! they like to be appreciated and acknowledged.

Because of the relationship between the earth's EM field and the Weather, and the connection between the earth's EM field and People, the weather is one thing which responds very easily to the influence of consciousness. However, not just the consciousness of the person attempting to alter the weather in some way. Everyone's energy is putting an influence out there, not just yours. So weather magic seems difficult, but really isn't.

The thing that made it easier for me is simply learning more about how the weather works. As Azereth suggested in a roundabout way, knowing where to focus your own influence is one of the more important aspects to weather magic.

Methods? Know what you want to happen, know how it happens naturally, will the conditions to be met. Visualize, focus with a poem, etc., doesn't matter how, all you need is a target, a focus, and some time to spend pushing it to happen. You don't need tons of energy to do it if you do it right.

peace
