The concept of a “rain dance” is universal, but so is the idea of a non-rain dance, called Misudome-no-maii in Japan, a country with dozens of ritual weather dances including Jindai Odori. We believe that our actions and rituals can influence the weather for a simple reason; the weather can physically and emotionally influence us. No scientific proof is needed to feel the warm sun or experience a dark rainy day, the latter making us want to explore and play and the former making us want to sleep. Temperatures, humidity, pressure changes, etc. during storms have a direct effect on our hormone production, vitamin levels, and bodily pains. Any changes in atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature can lower blood oxygen saturation, the amount of oxygen your red blood cells carry, and trigger both hormonal fluctuations and cardiovascular strain. These are scientific classifications for what the ‘old wives’ and folk tradition story tellers already knew. Today we call this field of study meteoropathy, though Meteoropathic illness is still not classified as a formal diagnosis. The idea of weather magic is based on the concept of sympathies and antipathies. The correlation between deities of rain and love are directly tied to the relationship that human birth shares with agricultural.
