Now, lets see if you notice what all my posts had in common

Nope, I'm not playing any guessing games. Do you actually have something to ask, or something to discuss?

Tried to what, exactly?

Anyway, with regards to "cloud bursting" and all that... weather control is something I'm inclined to believe isn't all that likely. Perhaps some people, with an incredible bond to this world, and with inherited abilities AND rituals passed down through generations, might have a better chance of making any sort of impact on the weather.

I once was at a wedding. A few scattered drops of rain began to fall from the clouds passing quickly above. A metaphysical fellow that I was friends with (there were quite a few at this wedding) did his "thing" (which wasn't all that obvious, no dancing here), and the spit of rain tapered off enough that no-one was bothered by it.

I was there, and I'm not entirely convinced that he actually was the reason the spattering of rain tapered off. It's far more likely that the bit of spit from the clouds above simply passed as quickly as it came, as those clouds were moving quickly. But if you asked my friend, he was pretty convinced that he's the one who did it. Yet, I was raised to think critically, and my critical thinking tells me that correlation does not equal causation. He may have done his "thing" right about the time that the clouds finished passing over, hence the miraculous exit of the rain.

I suppose, in being fair, that there's also an off-chance that he did something. I witnessed it, and it doesn't seem likely given the circumstances. But you can't convince an old metaphysical guy that he didn't just save his buddy's wedding. And knowing this fellow, I wouldn't even want to try.

have you ever been in the Egyptian/Komitian section? Why not ask a worshipper of ST there? Trickster....imitation...
