A STORM'S A BREWIN'!
In witchcraft and various magical traditions, hurricane water, also known as storm water or tempest water, is believed to carry powerful and transformative energy associated with the intensity and elemental forces of a hurricane or storm.
The uses of hurricane water in witchcraft can vary depending on the practitioner's intention and tradition.
Here are some things to take into consideration when collecting hurricane water.
Remember: above and beyond,
BE SAFE
Research and Preparation:
Research the significance of hurricane water in your specific tradition of witchcraft. Different traditions may have different uses and meanings for collected water.
Learn about the potential dangers and ethical considerations of collecting water during a hurricane. Safety should always be a priority.
Select an Appropriate Container:
Choose a clean, non-toxic container that is suitable for collecting water. Glass or ceramic containers are often preferred because they do not react with the water.
Timing and Location:
Determine when and where you plan to collect the water. Ensure that it is safe to be outdoors during the storm and follow local weather advisories and evacuation orders if necessary.
Intention and Focus:
Before you begin collecting the water, set your intention for its use in your witchcraft practice. Focus on your purpose and what you hope to achieve with the collected water.
Collect the Water:
During the storm, position your container to collect rainwater directly. Be cautious of strong winds and flying debris.
Collect only as much water as you need and avoid wasting resources.
Offerings and Gratitude:
After collecting the water, consider making an offering to the elements or spirits, expressing your gratitude for the gift of the water. This can be a simple ritual or prayer.
Storage and Preservation:
Seal the container tightly to preserve the collected water. Store it in the
refrigerator.
Some practitioners add alcohol to help preserve the water and protect it from contamination.
Use it as soon as possible. Magickal waters are perishable.
Use in Rituals and Spells:
Use the hurricane water in your witchcraft rituals or spells according to your intention. It can be used in purification, protection, or other rituals associated with water energy.
Respect Nature:
Always respect nature and its power. Do not put yourself or others in danger to collect hurricane water. If it's not safe to collect water during a storm, consider alternative sources of natural water, such as rainwater collected after the storm has passed.
Dispose of Water Responsibly:
If you have leftover collected water that you no longer need, consider returning it to the earth or a natural body of water as a sign of respect and balance.
When working with hurricane water or any other magical tool, it's essential to approach it with reverence and mindfulness.
Consider your intention and the specific energies associated with the water, and always act in accordance with your ethical and magical principles.
Blessed Be
