Magonia is a botanical genus including 28 species of flowering plants in the Sapindaceae family.
According to the treatise arguing against weather magic, called De Grandine et Tonitruis ("On Hail and Thunder"), by Carolingian bishop Agobard of Lyon in 815, Magonia is the name of the cloud realm whence felonious aerial sailors were said to have come.
The inhabitants of this realm were said to travel the clouds in ships and worked with Frankish tempestarii ("tempest-raisers" or weather-magi) to steal grain from the fields during (magically raised) storms. In his writings against these popular superstitions, Agobard denounced the belief in witchcraft and the ascription of tempests to magic.
