Storm water can be a powerful tool in magical practices. It holds within it the energy of the storm, which can be harnessed for various purposes. Here are some magical uses for storm water: 1. Cleansing: Storm water can be used to cleanse yourself, your space, or your tools of negative energy. Simply sprinkle a few drops of storm water on the object or area that needs to be cleansed and visualize the storm water washing away any negativity. 2.
That's right. there's a powerful magical ingredient LITERALLY falling right from the sky into your hands. This little primer on rainwater magic is by NO means an exhaustive list of ways to work with it. these are just some ideas to get those magical wheels turning. Realistically, you can use rainwater anywhere you might use regular water or even moonwater in your spellcrafting depending on the desired results. (For instance, I wouldn't recommend replacing some dreamy Pisces Full Moon water with water you collected during a raging lightning storm in the midst of Aries season if you're trying to work some dream magic.) Above all, use your intuition when deciding how/if to work rainwater into your practice or spellwork--the list below can give you some places to start, though. Another important note: most rainwater is safe to drink if fresh and stored in a clean container--but not ALL rainwater. If you're not sure, it's always best to air on the safe side and not consume any rainwater you've collected.
You could use any rainwater for this if it s a general working altar, or you could collect rainwater under a certain astrological influence, like a phase of the moon or a solar season to suit it more specifically to your needs. Be sure not to get the wick wet if you re planning on lighting your candle right after dressing, but in my experience dressing taper candles with water has had no effect on their ability to burn effectively.
2. Charging: Storm water can also be used to charge objects with energy. Place an object in a bowl of storm water and let it soak for a period of time, such as overnight.

I already answered this forever ago, but I have no idea where the post ended up.
So, here is my new and improved answer! (which I will have to link in my resource page as this is a really good common question among Witchcraft/Paganism blogs.)
Uses for Rain Water
Rainwater from a simple spring or summer shower is wonderful for cleansing. It in itself is renewal and it gives new life to the Earth.
You can use rainwater in:
- Bathwater- add a small amount of rainwater to your bath to cleanse and purify yourself after a hard day or before ritual
- Floor and Window wash- combined with proper cleaning product or natural products, rainwater is great to refresh your home.
- Wards- dip a paintbrush in rainwater to ward your home and aid you in cleansing it.
- Laundry- Rainwater is great to wash your clothes for Ritual! Add a detergent cup full to your machine and it will get rid of any energies that are still lingering in your garb.
- Ritual Tools- Use rainwater to clear and clean away any lingering energies from your wand, athame, cauldron and any other tools you have.
- Stones- *not all stones can be cleaned with water, some will dissolve on contact* Clean your stones in rainwater for a recharging and cleansing effect
- Jewelry- purify your ritual jewelry
Uses for Stormwater
Stormwater is highly charged with energy and is a great amplifier of any energies you are attempting to invoke.
Use stormwater to:
- Warding- Ward your home from unwanted guests by placing protection symbols drawn in storm water above your doorframes or on windows
- Curses- Storm water is great for curses, it amplifies your intent and it gives a lovely bit of chaos energy.
- Ritual Tools- Supercharge your Wand and Athame with storm water energy

This will infuse the object with the energy of the storm, making it more powerful for magical workings. 3. Protection: Storm water can be used to create protective barriers or charms. Mix storm water with salt and spray it around your home or carry it in a small spray bottle to create a protective boundary. You can also dip protective amulets or talismans in storm water to enhance their protective properties. 4. Divination: Storm water can be used in divination practices, such as scrying or water-based forms of divination. By gazing into a bowl of storm water, you can tap into the energy of the storm to receive insights or messages from the universe. 5. Spellwork: Storm water can be incorporated into spellwork to enhance its effectiveness. Use storm water as an ingredient in potions, ritual baths, or spell jars to amplify the intention and energy of the spell. Remember to always use storm water responsibly and with respect for the natural elements. Collect storm water safely and ethically, and give thanks to the storm and the energy it carries. Experiment with different ways of using storm water in your magical practices, and trust your intuition to guide you in finding unique and personal applications for this powerful tool..
Reviews for "Potion in the Storm: Unleashing the Magickal Potential of Rain Water"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I found "Magical Uses for Storm Water" to be rather disappointing. The book promised to provide unique and powerful ways to use storm water in magical practices, but it fell short of my expectations. The author only scratched the surface of the topic, providing basic and generic spells and rituals that could be found in any beginner's guide to witchcraft. I was expecting more in-depth information, perhaps incorporating the history and folklore behind storm water usage. Overall, I felt like the book lacked depth and originality, making it a forgettable read for me.
2. Jacob - 2.5 stars
While I appreciate the concept of "Magical Uses for Storm Water," I was left underwhelmed by its execution. The book failed to delve into the science or metaphysical aspects of storm water, which I found disappointing. The spells and rituals included in the book were largely repetitive and lacked creativity. Additionally, some of the instructions were unclear and could easily lead to misunderstandings or mistakes. I would have liked to see more diverse and innovative ways to incorporate storm water into magical practices. I believe this book would benefit from more research and a deeper exploration of the subject matter.
3. Samantha - 1 star
I was thoroughly unimpressed with "Magical Uses for Storm Water." The book was advertised as a comprehensive guide to using storm water in magical rituals, but it felt more like a hastily thrown together collection of mundane spells. The information provided was basic and uninspiring, lacking any depth or originality. The author seemed to assume that readers already had a certain level of knowledge about witchcraft, as important concepts and explanations were glossed over. Overall, I found the book to be a waste of time and money, as it failed to deliver on its promises.
