Origin & Lore

Rain deities appear in cultures across the world, because rain decides whether crops and herds live. This oil draws on that image of rain as a gift: serenity, refreshment and overflowing pleasure. Use it in water rites, calm-making and abundance work.

In South Africa the Balobedu people have been led for centuries by a hereditary Rain Queen, the Modjadji, believed to have the power to bring rain.

The Rain Queen of the Balobedu in Limpopo province is a real institution, and her role in bringing rain was famous across southern Africa. In Mesoamerica the rain was the domain of Tlaloc among the Aztecs and Chaac among the Maya, both given offerings to keep the rains coming.
