#rainmother — Public Fediverse posts

4-jeepers, you'd think I'd never done this before...lol I think I have all right links and replies where they should be now...lol
this is the #Spectra #Peertube link for the longer video-- a nice sunny early afternoon for collecting #flowers and laying the #altar- clouds started to arrive just as I finished, #RainMother was kind to me!

I'll give a nod to #Perkuns #Latvian God of Thunder, but really I feel the pre-Indo-European #LietusMāte #RainMother doesn't need help from later interlopers 😉 [edit] Typical male gods feel the need to bluster and boast, the old rain goddesses just get on with it 😉 😆 Meanwhile the puddles are growing... #PuddleOfTheDay #pagan #water #rain #life #OldEurope #GoddessCulture

Excellent timing on my part: there was a forecast for possible rain and thunderstorms and I wanted to get out to get some mowing done.
Literally the moment I finished putting on sunscreen (grudgingly put some on lightly, since sun could come out between cloudy bits, but I hate the goopy stuff and washing it off when I come in, esp on face)-- the rain started, followed promptly by thunder. Guess I haven't been reverent enough to #Perkuns (#Latvian thunder god) 😆 #BadTiming #Alberta #RainMother

It's been #windy for hours with severe #thunderstorm watch for the area (less than a warning, just means conditions exist). Just started raining, and the #toad in the #RockGarden in front was singing praises to #RainMother - maybe also begging #Perkuns (#ThunderGod) to hold off on hail. I'll second his prayers!
Just closed front door: it was barely warm enough before, thunderstorms here tend to drop the temperature significantly. #Alberta #ShareYourWeather #MondayVibes #OutMyWindow #PhotoMontag
