Often they went to abandoned springs, cleaned them, pouring water on each other, causing RAIN. Detours were made to the village, fields, prayers at the well or river.In Polissia, poppy seeds were often poured into the well, money, salt, garlic, consecrated herbs, grains of wheat and rye, prosphora, etc. were thrown into the well, consecrated water was poured, all the water was scooped out of the well, etc. Sometimes clay pots were thrown into the well, and in many villages of Polesye it was believed that the pot should have been stolen from neighbors, foreigners or potters.
In the Gomel region they used to say: “If there is no rain, then we will steal a smooth coat of Jews somewhere and into a well - bang! And also, they say it will rain". This method turned out to be more effective when the ceremony was performed by a widow or when the pot was stolen from the widow. In the Chernihiv region, a pot of borscht was stolen from the oven and thrown into a well. The motif of borscht is typical for widespread children's songs about rain: Meni porridge, toby borscht, shchob ishov thick porridge”; "Go, go, to the plank, to the glazed miner." Sometimes the stolen pots were first smashed and then the potsherds were thrown into the well.

Close to this method of inducing RAIN are the Bulgarian and Serbian methods of protection against “tile magic”: they stole the products of labor or tools for their manufacture from the tilers and brick-makers and threw them all into the water. This action was understood as the removal of damage (“locking the rain”, which was allegedly caused by tilers. They, like potters, were considered the culprits of the drought because of their involvement in the element of fire (burning pots, tiles) and professional interest in dry weather (for the sake of drying their products).

In Polesye and the adjacent regions of Belarus and Russia, in order to cause RAIN, they performed the rite of “plowing the river”: during a drought, they plowed or harrowed a dry river bed, or simply dragged a plow along the bottom. Symbolic plowing could also be done right on shallow water: in the Surazh district, “they chose beautiful girl at the age of 15, they stripped her naked, hung her with wreaths and forced her to harrow the water in this form. In our time, a similar method of making rain is noted in the Grodno region: “The old women gathered, stole a plow from the collective farm yard, brought it to the river, only women. Some harnessed themselves, while others drove the pug. ” Sometimes, instead of the river, they “plowed” the road or dug holes on the road, symbolically “opening” the water (Polesie).

Another method of invoking RAIN, which was purely magical in nature, was the destruction of an anthill. The anthill was raked with a stick, just as they beat the water in the well; at the same time, the sprawling ants symbolized and magically evoked drops of RAIN. This method is known in Polissya and among the southern Slavs. The Serbs, raking the anthill, uttered a special spell: “How many ants, so many drops!”

In Indian religious texts, an ancient rite of calling rain is given - a black animal had to be sacrificed. In western Bulgaria and eastern Serbia, a special rite is known to be performed during a drought in order to cause RAIN: the girls sculpted a clay doll named Herman (a male figure up to 50 cm in size with an exaggerated phallus) and then, imitating a burial, buried the doll on the river bank or thrown into the water, wailing: “Oh. Herman, Herman, Herman died of drought for the sake of rain. In such mourning rituals, tears were magically likened to RAIN. In the old days, when there was a need for rain in the villages near Tartu, usually three men climbed the tall fir trees in the sacred grove. One of them, in imitation of thunder, beat with a hammer on a cauldron or a small barrel; the second, in imitation of lightning, struck sparks from burning brands, and the third - he was called the "rainmaker" - sprayed water from the vessel in all directions with the help of a bunch of branches.

In August 2006, in northern Nepal, where rice is traditionally grown, not a drop fell from the sky during the rainy season. The peasants tried everything: prayers, offerings to the gods, special religious services - but the sky remained deaf to their calls.

“... The tom-tams were beating them all night long. Juju, a professional miracle worker from a mysterious clan of initiates, sat motionless, facing east, whispering something inaudibly under his breath. Opposite him stood a naked young woman, her face covered by a thick veil. It was a "raincaster" from the neighboring Toma tribe, whom Ju-ju had apparently invited to assist him in such an important ceremony. For a while, the magic caster silently swayed to the rhythm of the drum rhythm. Then she began to conduct tam-toms herself, throwing up her hands sharply at an ever-accelerating pace and forcing the drummers to accelerate the beat even more.

I looked at the sky and could not believe my eyes: the whitish haze barely noticeable in the evening turned into a gray veil, which thickened and grew heavier every minute. And the conjurer kept urging and urging the tom-tams, machine-gun bursts whipping through the clouds. And the sky could not stand such a cruel execution: from the low-hanging clouds, the long-awaited rain finally poured down.

So describes English traveler Hugo Chateris the magical ceremony of calling rain, which he observed in Guinea in the 50s of the last century. The same rites from time immemorial exist among many other peoples.

Last August in northern Nepal, where rice is traditionally grown, not a drop fell from the sky during the rainy season. There was something to be desperate about. The peasants tried everything: prayers, offerings to the gods, special religious services - but the sky remained deaf to their calls.

And then Nepalese women from the Kapilvastu region said that they know one ancient method that is used only as a last resort.

After that, about fifty peasant women got up at sunrise and performed an extreme ritual of calling rain. They undressed, went out into the rice fields naked and began to utter only their spells. To the surprise of the journalists watching the spectacle, by the end of the day it really rained over the fields of Kapilvastu!

One of the great "rain queens" in the Transvaal was Mujaji, an old woman even Rider Haggard had heard of. Many years after she was described in one of the writer's novels, General Smuts spoke of her as a woman who impressed him "with her strength of character and elusive imperious manner - a woman who really was a queen."

The practice of calling rain in the past existed in two forms. Church, as, for example, in Russia, when they used procession and a prayer for rain. And enchanting, when the rainmakers acted according to ancient pagan rites.
Pagan ways of calling RAIN, especially at the wells, were severely condemned by the church.

In the magical rites of causing rain among the southern Slavs, ritual actions are performed by priestesses of the goddess (six girls aged 12 to 16 years) - dodolitsy. They decorate them with wreaths, pour water on them, bring them bread. At the same time, dodolits sing, turning to the goddess with a request to send rain.

Amazing experience!

My experience confirms that human abilities are limitless. It all depends on the focus of attention and the ability to concentrate¹.

Once on a day off, I conducted a retreat (solitary practice) in the country.

It was morning, I was meditating in the house. When it was time to finish the practice and go home, I noticed that it was raining heavily outside.

I could not believe my eyes, since only recently the sky was completely clear. Not wanting to get wet, I sat in the lotus position and focused on the intention to stop the rain.”

I managed to stop the rain!

“With the power of thought, I dispersed the clouds and imagined how the sun began to shine through the clouds. After 10 minutes of such work, the rain stopped, and the sky brightened considerably.

While I was walking to the stop, the clouds completely dissolved and the sun shone.

On this occasion, the following lines suddenly came to my mind.

Once I was practicing morning sadhana² in my country house, and suddenly clouds covered the sun. I had to leave soon; all the more, Indra himself³ greeted me!

Instantly the sky became cloudy and warm rain began to fall. I accepted this lila easily: here practice alone was able to help me. A minute or two, and the rain began to subside, within five minutes it completely stopped.

I bowed to God within myself! And he began to calmly observe how the sun appeared from the heavens, how the sleeping forest woke up at dawn, how the clouds immediately began to disperse ...

I thought: "Maybe I'm dreaming?"

In Macedonia, even today, groups of people can be seen who, raising their hands and heads to the sky, perform rhythmic incantations. In them, they first call for rain, and then describe how it falls to the Earth. In Polissya, the peasants gathered at the well, stirred the water in it with long sticks, and called on the drowned Makarka to rise from the water and water the earth with his tears. Indian, Altai and other shamans first go into a trance, and then they begin to call on the spirits, begging them to send life-giving moisture to the Earth.

Folk traditions can be listed endlessly. Interestingly, many of them are being transformed, adjusted to the realities of our time. One of the most beautiful rituals can sometimes be observed in the villages of the Gagauz and South Slavs. A girl dressed in a vine dress, with a wreath on her head, goes around all the village yards, and the peasants pour water on her.

Many peoples believed that it was impossible to make rain without sacrifices. The Chechens sacrificed a snake, the Hawaiians - a black rooster.

In Russia, the clouds are dispersed by Nikolai Ukolov, who lives in the Tambov village of Mordovo. Many locals are skeptical about his unusual ability to control natural phenomena. However, if it starts to rain during a wedding or funeral, everyone runs to Nikolai for help.
Nikolai calls himself a healer and a soothsayer. Unusual abilities in him were revealed twelve years ago, when he saw the Mother of God in a dream. “She had a baby in her arms and a pillar of red light behind her,” says Nikolai. “I immediately realized that this dream was prophetic.” Since then, nature has become subservient to Ukolov..

Once the head of the district administration asked him to ensure good weather during the harvest, Nikolai kept his promise and received one and a half tons of grain and three bags of sugar for his work.

The fall before last, Ukolov decided to test his strength in a large area. After Russian weather forecasters reported that warming was coming and the winter would be unusually warm, Nikolai decided to overtake the country with frost. “I just didn’t calculate a little,” the old man apologizes, “it was very cold” ...

Rain spell ritual (shamanic).

To call rain, such a rite is used. The ritual bowl with spring water must be placed under the open sky for the night. During the night, the water will be saturated with energy and acquire special properties.
In the morning, you need to take the bowl in both hands, raise it above your head and say:
I invoke heavenly moistureGet closer to the moisture of the earth,
For rain to fall on the ground
And watered the green shoots!
If several girls participate in the ceremony, then a small mystery can be performed. Helpers should decorate their bodies with fresh leaves and branches and turn to the shaman:
Mother Goddess!
Give us your juice.
Sprinkle us with your moisture!
Then the shaman should sprinkle on her assistants from a bowl and from pre-prepared buckets. At the end of the ceremony, you need to make sacrifices to the spirits of the elements and light suitable incense. You can also call for rain through an ordinary snail, which is the personification of the Mistress of the Rain. Find a snail in the forest, treat it with great respect. Dig a hole in your area for shade. Place a plate with water and fresh leaves in it and place a snail on the edge of the plate. At noon, approach the snail with a ritual bowl filled with water. Sprinkle water on the snail and say:
How I splash water on you
So are you, Snail - Mistress of the Rain,
Send long-awaited moisture to the ground!
Repeat this action many times. If it does not rain during the day, then the next day, perform the ritual again. Make sure the snail is comfortable in your area. After the rain, take the snail to the place where you took it from. In parting, thank the snail again.

On the island of Java, when rain was needed, two men began to whip each other with flexible rods and continued this until blood began to flow from their backs: flowing blood Symbolized the rain, which now, as it was supposed, was bound to fall on the ground .
The people of the Egghiu tribe, in one of the regions of Abyssinia, each January entered into bloody battles - with each other, village against village - to make rain, which lasted for a whole week. Later Emperor Menelik forbade this custom. This prohibition aroused the indignation of the people when there was a lack of rain. The emperor was forced to give in and allowed the bloody battles to resume, but only for two days a year.
