You have probably heard about the drought that California is having. We are in a dire situation here. While in Colorado, I spoke to the spirits there and asked for rain to be sent to California. That was not the way it worked. I had to be in California to bring rain to there. It was like trying to speak Spanish to Greeks. They didn't understand.
Some of the work I do is Shamanic. I take people on soul retrievals, journeys to find their animal totems, pieces of themselves an to let go of their past. I trained with John Armbruster, Earthkeeper, Geologist, pipe carrier. Some of what I learned from John was how to change weather patterns, move clouds and make the wind blow, among other things. I had used this a little in Georgia; I was able to ask clouds to move and conjure up the wind. I had not made much of an impact on the weather till I moved to the desert. It just wasn't important enough.

Upon my return, I asked for guidance and picked an auspicious day to speak to the spirits of the land. I called forth the spirits in the four directions and prayed rain. I thanked them for rain, rather than asking for it. I envisioned it raining. A slow, all-day soaking rain. We have not had this kind of rain in the three years I have lived here. In three years I have never heard thunder or even seen lightning.
I was guided to take a day at the beach. I asked, "Should I go Friday or Saturday?" "FRIDAY!" was their response. I spent a glorious day at the beach on Friday, returning late and then staying up until 2:30 in the morning writing two articles for my blog.
My daughter saw my post on FaceBook and texted, "Are you still awake?" "Yes!, " I replied. We talked on the phone until 4:30 in the morning. Sometimes, our adult children just need to vent. I allowed her the time she needed. By 4:30, I was falling asleep on the phone.
Saturday morning, I normally do a yoga and Zumba class. I was guided to stay home. I was glad, as I was pretty tired from only getting three hours of sleep. I walked the dogs in the desert, looking up in the sky as I always talk to the spirits of the land out there and saw clouds. I rejoiced for the clouds and thanked them for the rain. I returned home and waited for the rain.
By 11:30, I saw lightning and heard thunder. Again, I said a prayer of gratitude. This land is in such need of rain. I have not been flushing my toilet unless I need to, and showering only when necessary to conserve. I empty my dog's little wading
pool on my lawn and plants rather than just dumping it out onto the sand.
I had heard California was trucking in water. We all need to be careful with our water consumption here. I do my best to act responsibly in every way.
It took three days for the clouds to appear. See the video below.
Here is the report from weather underground:
