Rainwater Witchcraft

Rainwater Witchcraft:

How to Bottle the Sky Without Summoning a Kraken.

By Your Resident Storm-Chasing Witch⚡️

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated magical tools in your witchy arsenal: rain water. It falls from the sky, it’s charged with elemental energy, and it doesn’t cost you a single silver coin. Whether you’re brewing potions or just trying to level up your house plant spell game, rainwater is liquid witchcraft.

But wait, not all rain is created equal. Just like moon water changes with the moon phase, rain water picks up the vibe of the weather it falls with. So before you stick a mason jar out the window and call it a day, let’s explore the different types of rain and storm water and how to use them in your spellwork.

Why Should Witches Collect Rain Water?

Rain water = nature’s blessing in a bottle. It’s pure elemental energy from the sky, representing emotion, intuition, cleansing, transformation, and the raw power of nature. Think of it as the spiritual cousin of moon water, but sometimes louder, wilder, and with thunder thighs⚡️

You can use it for:

• Rituals and spells

• Cleansing tools or sacred space

• Watering plants with intention

• Crafting potions or sprays

• Enhancing moon water

• Shadow work, emotional healing, and banishing bad vibes

1. Gentle Rain (Spring Showers)

Energy: Renewal, peace, fertility, cleansing

Use for:

• Healing spells

• Self-love and inner growth

• Fertility and creativity rituals

Use for:

• High-impact spellwork

7. Hail Water

Energy: Forceful transformation, sharp clarity, defense

Use for:

• Protection magic

• Dealing with stubborn obstacles

• Freezing spells or barrier work.

  (Collected quickly and safely (hail’s no joke!), this water brings intensity and impact. Use in spells where you want quick, clear results.)

8. Snow Melt or Ice Rain

• Reflection and inner peace.

  (Frozen water carries the energy of slow transformation. It’s perfect for spells that require patience, planning, and deep growth.)

How to Collect and Store Rain Water (Witch-Style)

1. Use a Clean, Dedicated Container

Mason jars, glass bowls, your favorite witchy teacup, just make sure it’s clean and ethically sourced (aka not stolen from your roommate).

2. Set an Intention

Even if it’s just “This is for cleansing,” the universe loves clarity. Bonus points if you whisper to it under the clouds like a dramatic protagonist.

3. Label That Jar

Date, type of rain, moon phase, and what it’s intended for. Nothing’s worse than opening a jar in 3 months and wondering if it’s your “banish” water or “help me love again” water.

4. Store It Safely

Keep in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate if you’ll use it in sprays or for skin contact. Don’t drink it unless you’ve purified it, rain is magical, not sterile.

Witch Tips & Warnings

• Don’t collect polluted rain (e.g., near factories, heavy traffic, cursed HOA lawns)

• Filter before using topically or ingesting

• Combine with moon water, crystals, or herbs to customize its energy

• Always thank the storm ⛈️

• rain magic is a gift, not a guarantee.

Wait… Isn’t All Witch Water the Same? Nope. Let’s Talk Charged Water vs. Rain Water.

Okay, so maybe you’ve got jars and jars of moon water, eclipse water, rain water, and what you think is “vibe water” from that one night in 2022. But not all magical waters are the same, they carry different energies, origins, and purposes.

Rain Water

What it is:

Water directly collected from the sky… rain, hail, snow, sleet, storms.

Charged by: The natural event itself… the sky, the weather, the moon (if present).

Energy: Wild, raw, elemental. Think nature’s unfiltered mood.

Use for:

• Banishing, cleansing, transformation

• Weather magic and elemental workings

• Working with earth or nature spirits

• Charging plants, crystals, or ritual tools

• Adding to spell jars, baths, or sprays for added natural punch

Rain water is passively charged by the Earth and sky. It’s spontaneous magic, gifted to you.

Charged Water

(like Moon Water or Crystal-Charged Water)

What it is:

Water you place intentionally to charge with a specific energy (e.g., under the moon, in sunlight, with crystals, herbs, etc.)

Charged by: Deliberate intention and placement in a jar.

Energy: Focused, personalized, purpose-built

Use for:

• Precise spellwork (love, money, healing, manifestation)

• Bath rituals, spell jars, anointing candles

• Charging items with moonlight, sunlight, or crystal energy

• Drinking or topical use (if prepared safely)

Charged water is intentionally programmed, you’re choosing what energy to imbue it with, whether it’s moonlight, rose quartz, or your own wild willpower.

What Kind of Water Can You Charge Under the Moon?

1. Filtered or Distilled Water

Best for: Safe use (drinking, skin, baths)

Why: Clean, neutral, and ideal for absorbing pure lunar energy.

2. Spring Water

Best for: Nature spells, healing, vitality

Why: Naturally infused with Earth’s minerals and grounding energy.

3. Rain Water

Best for: Cleansing, renewal, emotional magic

Why: Already sky-charged, rain water under the moon becomes extra potent.

4. Storm Water

Best for: Banishing, protection, transformation

Why: Intense, chaotic energy. Moonlight amplifies its power — use mindfully.

5. River, Lake, or Sea Water

Best for: Flow, intuition, emotional work

Why: Natural bodies hold ancient wisdom. Ocean water adds purification.

6. Snow Melt / Ice Water

Best for: Shadow work, endurance, deep transformation

Why: Carries patient, reflective energy — great for New or Waning Moons.

7. Tap Water

Best for: Everyday magic, accessible spells

Why: If clean, it’s totally valid. Intention is everything.

Tip:

Use a clean, sealed jar, preferably glass, and set an intention.

Label with the moon phase, date, and magical purpose.

Can I Combine Them?

Oh YES, and you should. You can pour a bit of storm rain into your moon water jar on a Full Moon for an extra lightning kick. Or add crystal-charged water to rain water for balance, kind of like mixing espresso with herbal tea (but magical).

Just always set an intention when mixing, don’t go pouring energies together like a chaotic cocktail unless that’s the spell you’re after.

Final Witchy Words:

Rain water is the Earth’s gift. Charged water is your magical crafting. One is wild, one is refined. Together, they’re unstoppable.

So whether you’re catching thunderstorms in a cauldron or placing a jar under the full moon with a whisper and a prayer you’re working with the flow of the universe. Literally.

Now go label your jars, set your intentions, and maybe keep one bottle by the window for when Mercury goes retrograde. You’ll thank yourself later.

Why Keep Magical Water by the Window During Mercury Retrograde?

Placing a sealed jar of magical water (like moon or rain water) by the window during Mercury Retrograde helps absorb chaotic energy, protect your space, and anchor emotional calm. It acts like a magical buffer, soaking up tech glitches, miscommunication vibes, and general retrograde nonsense. Add a sigil or crystal to amplify the effect, and use the water afterward in clarity rituals or grounding spells once the cosmic dust settles.

And So, My Sparkly Spellcasters…

You’re now officially empowered to collect storm tears, bottle moonlight, and whisper sweet nothings to jars of water like the enchanting chaos witch you are. Whether you’re charging it under a full moon, bottling a thunderstorm with zero fear, or seductively labeling a jar “Don’t Touch, Mercury Rx Elixir”… just know: your magic is real, your power is potent, and your vibe is irresistibly lunar.

So go strut into the night with your jar in hand, your eyeliner sharp, and your intentions sharper.

Because you’re not just collecting moon water…

You’re hydrating your soul with celestial magick!

Blessed be, babe. And remember: when in doubt, moon it out.
