@autumnwitchesx i hope this helps you some!!!

also the bottles you store in dont have to be a specific color unless you want them to be, im all for using what you have first and foremost 

do you have any suggestions for combining knot craft and storm craft? i’m interested and connected to both but i don’t know how to combine them since i’m new to all of this haha.

sorceressofstarlitforest:

  1. A storm bracelet. Use thread and charms representing the type of storm you want involved in your spell. (Example: Blue and white threads with snowflake charms for making good memories and protection in the winter.)
  2. Seal a cord with mud to hold in power. Wash away the mud to release the power.
  3. Visualize storms while doing knot work.
  4. Incorporate storm imagery into a charm for cord magic. (Example: By knot of one, the storm’s begun. By knot of two, rain protects me and you. By knot of three, lightning I see. By knot of four, thunder is at the door. By knot of five, we feel alive. By knot of six, we build with fallen sticks. By knot of seven, the storm becomes our weapon.)
  5. Combine images of storms and sigils in embroidery.
  6. Crochet using the storm clouds pattern.

Storm Witch Tip:

crow-witch:

A storm is likely to come when:

  • deciduous trees flip their leaves due to wind direction
  • birds fly low in the sky, and go quiet
  • there’s a southerly wind (in the US)
  • there’s a red dawn in the east
  • layers of nimbus clouds move in opposite directions
  • the morning grass is dry of dew
  • an earthy scent rises from the soil and flowers
  • pine cones remain closed
  • a halo rings the moon at night
  • nights are warm in winter (cloud cover insulation)
  • smoke swirls and descends, instead of a steady rise

Remember, low pressure brings wet weather.
