ABSTRACT How is mana experienced? Can anyone experience mana and mana-like phenomena? How do practitioners interact with it? This paper describes experiences of mana as wind and weather, the wind/weather predictions of mana practitioners, and how modifications to wind/weather are made by interacting with ancestors. I contrast the accuracy of mana as weather-work that is ancestrally linked, with inaccurate meteorological predictions that evaded personal and ancestral connections and attempts to modify wind or weather. I relay how wind/weather-workers define mana, and explain how it works, and how to engage it. I observe that technocratic and mono-phasic/mono-ontologic framings discount such experiences as unverifiable or unreal.

体验法力作为祖先的风功

摘要 如何体验法力？任何人都可以体验法力和类似法力的现象吗？从业者如何与之互动？这篇论文描述了法力作为风和天气的经验，法力练习者的风/天气预测，以及如何通过与祖先的互动来改变风/天气。我将法力作为与祖先相关的天气工作的准确性与逃避个人和祖先联系并试图改变风或天气的不准确气象预测进行了对比。我传达了风/天气工作者如何定义法力，并解释它是如何工作的，以及如何使用它。我观察到技术专家和单相/单本体论框架将此类体验视为不可验证或不真实的。
