The Problem With Witches Manifesting Rain : witchcraft

To start this off, I want to say that I am not trying to invalidate anybody's craft. I am not trying to say anybody is stupid. I simply want to address how, based on my own perspective from viewing the discussions about this, witches could unknowingly cause more harm than good.

When the bushfires in Australia started trending over the internet witches were really quick to jump to action. "Burn your blue candles for Australia" "Spell to send rain to Australia"

Now, while it is a good thing for witches to use their talents for the benefit of the Earth, there is one thing that bothers me. Do many of these witches spend a lot of time thinking about the spell before doing one? I've seen many post spells they have created themselves, but nobody ever talks about how much rain they intend to send or how long they want the rain to last. This is a big issue.

When a drought happens, especially in places such as Australia, the soil essentially dries out so much so quickly it turns to powder (in a sense). When it rains after a long drought, the soil has difficulty absorbing the water. It will absorb a small, small amount right off the bat, but after that small amount the rain is far more likely to flood than usual. This creates the risk of flash floods and mudslides.

As I mentioned earlier, witches using their talents for the benefit of the Earth is a good thing. However, it is necessary to take time to ask the right questions when creating/setting up a spell that manipulates the elements.
