I am native American and I have done exactly one rain dance in my life.
I was living in Texas at the time and I heard it was going to rain a little and being a dumb teenager I told my friends, “Hey check it out I’m going to do a rain dance” and I hooped around for a minute and called it quits.
So rather embarrassed but you know sometimes you just do shit to do shit whatever.
I figured what the hell, maybe they haven’t seen the weather, maybe they’ll think that I’m magic or something for just a moment.
It was the worst hail storm that town had had in 20 years.
Cars were dented, roofs were damaged, there were flash floods, nobody died that I’m aware of but there was a lot of property damage and I don’t feel specifically responsible for it, but I do feel like it’s more than a coincidence, like I pissed off some of my ancestors by doing that shit and I haven’t done it since.
I’m no expert on Native Amarican folk magic mythology, or magic in myths in general, but isn’t it kind of a “Cloud 9-1-1, what is your climate emergency?” deal where your location determines the “jurisdiction” your requested rain will fall over?

Don’t do it again…
😉
I might try it if there’s a drought just for the heck of it
Worst drought on record here. Can you do a remote dance?
Something tells me it doesn’t work that way…

Fuck it, can you bring the apocalypse so we can get it over with?
Do it again…
