30 Days of Witchcraft: One Spell

I'm not much of a casting witch.
But I use this one and it's one of the oldest I know.

To bring rain:

Carry a vessel of water out of doors.
Pour it on the ground while yelling at the sky: "See, it isn't that hard!"


Ways to know rain is coming:
When leaves show their bellies.
When cows lie down.
When flies cling to the window screens
When frogs sing loud and long
When the sunrise is red and lowering
When there is a halo around the moon.
When smoke spirals downward
When birds fly low
When clouds build and don't just flow by
When everything grows very still and the air smells wet and swampy
