Spell for Sunshine
No need to cross your fingers and hope for good weather. According to the Romanies, you can make the sun shine whenever you want it to.
Here’s how:
- Light a golden candle.
- Draw a five-inch map of the area where you want the sun to shine.
Moving the map clockwise, circle it three times around the candle flame, imagining the flame is the sun. - Burn the map in the flame while making your wish.
You could say:
Fair weather I ask you to shine,
On this special day of mine,
I’ve chased the clouds away,
So the sun will shine all day.
Your special day will be filled with sunshine.

inhale and blow the wind back in the direction it is blowing from.

Water Witching
If rain is your desire, whipping pond water with a hazel stick is believed to invoke a downpour. This is known as “water witching.”

Is It Raining?
Today (July 15) is St. Swithin’s day. If rain falls on St. Swithin’s day, the Romanies believe, forty days of rain will follow.
