Survival and protection witchery is required when severe weather is in the forecast. Living where I do, I’ve developed an extensive repertoire of ways to prepare, protect and use storm energy. I’ve included a petition of protection to Hekate Brimo that can be used for all types of stormy weather.

With the remnants of a tropical storm descending upon my little piece of the world, I’m reminded that the season of severe weather is underway. Fall brings with her many emotional gifts, including the transformative power of raging winds and flooding rains. Survival and protection witchery is in order when hurricanes and blizzards come my way. I love absorbing severe weather energy, but there are times when shielding is the best choice. Storm energy can also be captured for future magickal use, including charging tools and objects.

Here along the Atlantic Coast, the approach of fall signals the beginning of a season embedded within autumn: hurricane season. While we are often spared the category 3 and 4 level storms, we always get multiple weaker ones every year. Last Christmas Day, the wind gusts blowing around my house were over 120 mph. The storm claimed my heavy, large gas BBQ right off the deck. That bout of severe weather ushered in a period of several extremely high wind events. We lost power nine times, including four periods lasting longer than 24 hours. My village was completely flooded with storm surge and many houses suffered extensive damage. We were spared this devastation. What’s a witch to do when she’s chosen to live on an exposed coastal peninsula? Get busy with severe weather protection witchery, of course.
