Did I make it rain?

This thread has been moved to Other Spells Discussion from General Info.

Since it was already sprinkling and rain was in the forecast when you did your spell then it is almost certainly coincidence that it rained rather than being anything that you did.

I would agree that we can call that coincidence since the forecast said so.

I won't agree that the weather spells works at all, although it is quite possible to change the weather unintentionally. Our emotions are connected in a way with our surroundings, that by releasing negative energy or thoughts, can make the sky pour out rain. I am sure some people have experienced that at one point in time or several occasions. Although it could still be called a coincidence, since nowadays even if the sun is out parts of the world experience rain. And I literally mean raining while the sun is out. It is up to you to, if you want to believe it or not.

it was beginning to rain, you said a few words then it began to pour? plus the weather report calls for further rain? in this instance i will say no, it was due for rain, the rain was beginning, your spell was unnecessary. i will go out on a limb and say perhaps your spell made it rain sooner, but i doubt it caused the rain.

weather spells are a grey area in magick. while weather is natural, what you are doing is not making a few rain clouds appear over your house, how weather works is a global answer, so you're actually moving whole weather patterns which effects the world. this is seen by many pagans as too much power for a human to possess. yet historically there are tribes who would preform rituals to bring rain, so perhaps you need a larger group to preform them. i remember a few years ago there was a tropical storm that was going to hit Florida but a church group [claims anyway] prayed the storm would miss Florida, and it did, unfortunately, it hit the next two states as a hurricane. it could of been nature, it could of been their prayers, but what i take from the story is if they let the storm hit Florida there would be far less damage and casualties if they let it be.

Coincidence or on purpose?
I guess doesn't matters, hope you enjoyed the rain. ..

There is missing pieces of information so it is hard to say for sure. All I can say is that multiple cultures throughout history have had rituals & prayers dedicated to the weather while hoping that it would have some influence on it. Saying otherwise would be disrespecting those practices and not acknowledging them which many new-agers tend to do. It is frowned upon on the website. No one can control the weather with magic (i.e. making it snow in the middle of summer), but we may be able to influence it under the right conditions (i.e. it sprinkling but there is not a high chance of it getting harder or there being gray clouds in the sky).

It could be coincidence but that remains uncertain. We would have to consider the chance percentage of it going to rain, what time it was presumed it would rain, and so on. It could be that your spell had some influence. Who knows? That is the missing information that makes it hard to say for sure. We wouldn't know.

I believe that it was purely coincidence but thats just me. But if it was drizzling when you said the spell then chances are that it was going to rain anyway

So much negativity on this topic. Try this, next time it rains, ask nature to show you her fury. If it storms violently afterwards, you're on to something. If it doesn't, don't stop trying, all magicks take practice ;).

There are a lot of interpretations of why it rains. Below are some of the list:

1. Due to it being the "Rainy Season."
2. A storm from another Country will pass by your Country, State or Area.
3. Controlled weather by invented weather machine. [Lol]
4. Forced Rain method to water agricultural areas that needs rain for the crops to survive "Drought Season"
5. Some people will say that when the sky pours down like there will never be a tomorrow [and no storm was mentioned on the weather forecast or rain] , someone's dream was just shattered.
6. Someone whose heart is close to the sky has just died and the heavens want you to know that. How? When you start feeling sadness as you look outside the window or for a moment.
7. Some people take it as a premonition of something will be lost by someone, or by themselves.

But using weather spells to make it rain. [Not Possible] . We are just being realistic about it and not being negative.

With details about the forecast of rain and the sky pouring drops of rain already. It will be hard to prove the spell is real as there are evidences it will already rain. [The same concept goes when you do a rain spell on a day that is super hot]

If you want to try it out, do it on a normal day! And if it happens, then it might just be real.

It is the same for stopping rain. Which I have experienced! While I was in highschool, there were times it rained the entire day. And during one of those days at school [Lunch period] I looked at the clouds, shut my eyes and thought of the rain stopping while commanding the rain to stop for a few seconds. And guess what? It stopped instantly for a few minutes and rained again. Will you believe it is possible to stop the rain? Answers: Maybe - for some who has experienced it, No - for most. It may be just a coincidence as well for some. And either way, if you want to prove something is real what do we do? Yes, we study and practice it on days and scenario's were it won't look like a coincidence.

You don't need to ask nature to show her fury to the world. By doing so, there are possibilities people will get killed. And will that be something worth proving something is authentic? I do not believe so.

Just be aware that there are spells that won't ever work. [no matter how hard and long you practice, or how you believe it to be real]
