[Grant Your Wishes] Collection of Charms to Bring Clear Skies (1–10)
Sunny guy / sunny girl
The terms “hare-otoko” (sunny man) and “hare-onna” (sunny woman) are commonly used in everyday conversation.
They refer to people who are believed to bring good weather—if you’re with them, it will be sunny on the day of an important event; men are called hare-otoko and women hare-onna.
If you know someone who’s known as a hare-otoko or hare-onna, why not invite them to come along on the day of your event? And if you can gather not just one but several of these ‘sunny’ people at once, the chances of good weather might go up even more!
Umbrella charm
The “umbrella charm” is a spell you can use once it’s already started raining, and it’s not very hard to do.
First, open the umbrella you usually use indoors, spreading it from the center toward the west.
Then chant to the umbrella three times, “Your work is done for today,” and keep wishing with all your might until you see a break in the clouds.
Be careful not to touch the umbrella before the sun peeks through, or the spell will lose its effect.
Give it a try!
May divine will prevail and may the spirit thrive
“Kannagara tamachi haemase” is a charm that means, “Please guide everything, in accordance with the divine will, toward a better direction, and protect us.” The method is simple: when an event you hope will have clear weather draws near, just recite this charm toward the gods of heaven—anyone can do it.
Incidentally, it has long been said that words carry spiritual power, so it is believed best to speak your wishes out loud.
With this charm as well, rather than wishing silently in your heart, voicing it clearly may make your wish more likely to come true.

English spell
If you’re good at English, I’d love for you to try some “English charms.” For example, there’s “sunny and bright,” which means clear and bright weather; “let the rain go away,” which means to drive the rain away; and “make the day bright,” which means to help you spend the day brightly.
It might be hard to memorize them at first, but give it a try until you can say them smoothly!
Offering of sake
Offering sake is unusual among good-weather charms because it can be done indoors at night.
The method is very simple: on the evening before the day you want clear skies, place an offering of sake facing a south-facing window and, while pressing your palms together, say out loud, “May it be sunny tomorrow,” focusing your wish.
It’s considered preferable to use an unopened bottle.
If you don’t have unopened sake at home, be sure to buy some in advance.
Set the lock screen to a rainbow
When you wish for clear skies, changing your smartphone’s wallpaper to an image of a rainbow is also recommended.
Rainbows are said to carry energy that symbolizes light and hope, and they might even bring a brighter change to the weather.
Simply display a photo or illustration of a rainbow, face the eastern sky, and recite three times: “Helios, Sun God, please call forth a rainbow.” After that, leave the wallpaper as it is and go about your day.
The power of prayer imbued in your phone may be stronger than you think, potentially influencing your own heart—and even the weather—without you noticing.
Before an important day when you want sunshine, this small action can give your wish a helpful tailwind.
salt curse
“Salt magic” is said to be one of the most powerful charms for “washing away and erasing undesirable future situations” using the power of salt.
The method is simple: first, write down the “undesirable situation” on a piece of paper.
In this case, you can write something like “It will rain on [year]/[month]/[day].” Then take a pinch of salt, burn it together with the paper you wrote on, and flush the remains down the toilet—that’s it.
When performing this charm, please be very careful to prevent any household fires or accidents!
