lyrics

do pola po polu 

do lasu za lasy

ku górom za góry 

do morza za morze

zaprzysięgam i zaklinam was 

wiatry pioruny i grady 

w imieniu mego ciała i mej duszy
abyście się oddaliły

na puste morza i rzeki 

na puste góry i lasy

abyście się oddaliły 

tam gdzie jest was potrzeba 

na suche morza i rzeki 

na suche góry i lasy


Inspiracja: zaklinanie deszczu i burzy z Beskidu Żywieckiego.
Zażegnywanie burzy uważano za zajęcie niebezpieczne, wymagające wiedzy oraz wyjątkowych sił duchowych i fizycznych. Podczas odpędzania burzy Zażegnywacze bądź Płanetnicy musieli powstrzymywać demony ciągnące chmury albo pomagać im w przenoszeniu ich poza wieś i pola uprawne. Kiedy nadciągała burza, wychodzili w pole i zażegnywali ją za pomocą tajemnych gestów lub zaklęć. Każdy zaklinacz pogody miał swoją własną formułę zaklęcia.
<><><>
Inspiration: storm and rain spells from the Żywiec Beskids.
Obviating a storm was considered a dangerous act, requiring knowledge and exceptional spiritual and physical strength. During the dispelling of the storm, Zażegnywacze or Płanetnicy (weather wizards) had to stop the demons pulling clouds or help them move the clouds out of the countryside and farmland. When the storm was approaching, they would go out into the field and avert it with secret gestures or spells. Every weather wizard had their own spell formula.
