Okay, so I realized something today. I always see posts detailing the various correspondences of different types of water. Moon water, sun water, eclipse water, rain water, storm water, snow water, even *dew* water. Water from a lake, a river, an ocean, a stream, a brook. Even water collected from mist.
But y’all know what I haven’t seen?
Rainbow water.
So hold on to your seats yall because I’m about to take ya on a ride.
Rainbow water is something I use quite often in my craft. Why? Because it’s got so many uses! I use it for:
LBGTQ+ spells
Spells for positivity
Spells for luck
Spells for change
Spells for perserverance
Spells for hope
Spells for connection (I call them “bridge spells”)
Spells for happiness
Spells for creativity/imagination
Honestly, I have no idea why I haven’t seen rainbow water being mentioned before. It can’t be because it’s too difficult to collect because, y’all,
You can make your own rainbows. You don’t have to wait for one to show up in the sky.
Observe:
That right there is a bona fide rainbow that i created with nothing but a hose on the mist option and natural sunlight. Get yourself a pretty (or ugly) bottle with a wide mouth and you can very easily make your own rainbow water!
“But wait, Eiolrin, what if I don’t have a hose?”
Nothing to fear. I’ve got your back. You can also collect rainbow water by:
Shine a light through a prismatic crystal, then placing a bottle of regular water in the rainbow that’s created. Just like making sun/moon water! You don’t need to put it in the rainbow for more than maybe 1-5 minutes.
Get a plastic spray bottle that mists and spray the mist into natural sunlight until you find a rainbow. Hold bottle against the rainbow and *keep misting*.
Hell, you know what? Who needs an *actual* rainbow?
Draw a rainbow. Print out a picture of a picture of a rainbow. This rainbow is in my grimoire in the form of a magic circle (enchantment circle) and i’ve imbued it with the energy of a rainbow. I use this to make rainbow water sometimes.
So go forth and conquer, my lovelies! Be the witch/mage/occultist that uses rainbow water! Spread this around and make sure this is something that becomes a thing because in my opinion, rainbow water is just too useful to be ignored as a valid component in spells and other things.
As a bonus, here’s my rainbow water!
