Father Guagua, We Offer You Beer, or We Die

The nomads considered that their God would be encouraged to make water in the form of rain by offering him a drink of beer. The Romans really did have a dripping stone that they used in rain in a rain making ceremony called the aquilichium, which means calling the waters. And I like how Claudius says that when they used the dripping stone rain always followed in less some slight mistake was made in the ritual,. So it really wasn't that reliable. Although I haven't been able to verify that Father Guagua was an actual North African deity or the exact details of the ritual were accurate.
