Solar Witch: How to Cast SUN MAGICK in 11 Ways

All these witches be talkin’ about the moon. Moon phases, rituals and moon water. But what about the witches who prefer the sun? Do they exist? Yes, we do! I know because I’m one of them. If you feel empowered by the sun more than the moon, you might be a solar witch. And if you’d just like to incorporate more sun magick into your practice, we’ve got you covered!

A Solar Witch & The Sun’s Magick

What makes the sun magical? Is it the same type of magick as the moon? The sun fuels all life on this planet. While the moon has a huge effect on us, and pulls the tides, I’d venture to say the sun is more important. If I had to choose one. (Lunar witches don’t be mad at me!) The sun is necessary for many reasons including the growth of plants and trees, for our own physical and mental health, and to keep our planet warm and alive! Sun = LIFE.

11 Ways to Make SUN MAGICK

The way the solar witch makes sun magick is only limited by imagination and inspiration. Forge your own path, but if you need ideas:

1. Sunbathing

2. Magical Timing With the Sun

3. Sun Water

4. Sun & Fire Plants

5. Seasons & Sabbats

6. Sun Magick with Colors

7. Sun Tea

8. Solar Plexus

9. Sun Salutations

10. Sun Arts, Crafts, and Cooking

11. Solar Deities for the Solar Witch

Goddess OF The Day: MIELIKKI

MIELIKKI

Tyvendedagen (Norway)

Themes: Change; Providence
Symbols: Bear; Grain; Woodland Plants

About Miellikki: The Finnish Goddess of game, hunting, and the forest,
Mielikki protects our resources during the remaining cold season by
keeping the pantry filled. As the Goddess of abundant grain, she also
encourages the return of fertility to the earth.
To Do Today: Go into your kitchen and get a small handful of any
grain-based cereal. Take this outside and release a pinch of it to the
earth, saying,
Mielikki, see this grain and bless, return to earth in fruitfulness.
Hear the prayer that fills my heart; to my home, providence impart.
Take the remaining pinch back in the house and store it in an airtight
container, symbolically preserving your resources.
Tyvendedagen means “twentieth day after Christmas.” In Norway, today
marks the official end of the Yule season. It’s celebrated with races,
sleigh rides and the storage of ornaments and by burning the Christmas
tree to drive away winter. So, when you dismantle your Yule tree, keep a
jar full of its needles handy. Burn these throughout the year to banish
frosty feelings or to warm up a chilly relationship. The pine smoke,
being from a woodland tree, also draws Mielikki’s attention to any
pressing needs you may have.

A Thought for Today

To me my personal soul contract was found by doing shadow work. I strongly suggest if you are going to do shadow work that you do it with someone you trust 100% as looking at your shadows can bring up some pretty scary things from this and past lifetimes.

Goddess Of The Day: VESTA

(I could not get the font to go larger, sorry about that)

Vesta

Feast of Vesta (Rome)

 Themes: Home; Love; Fertility; Peace

Symbols: Fire; Donkey; Veils

 About Vesta: In Roman mythology, Vesta was part of every fire. As such, Vesta commands the sacred fires of the hearth, the heart of spiritual and emotional stability in your home. Today was one other festival days, Christianized as the Feast of the Ass, which is a sacred animal to her. Traditional offerings for Vesta include homemade bread and salt cakes.

 In works of art, Vesta was never shown directly but always depicted her in veils, possibly to honor her importance in Roman society. The vestal priestess was one of the few people considered suited to negotiating peace during war threats.

 To Do Today: The first month of the year is a good time to think about the spiritual warmth in your living space. Ask Vesta to kindle those fires anew. Do this by lighting any fire source you have handy-a match, a candle, the oven, a pilot light-or, alternatively, just turn on a light as a symbolic fire. Be sure to keep this lit all day. When a fire goes out on Vesta’s day, it’s considered a bad omen, indicative of love being lost. To encourage peace on any battleground you’re facing this year, light a white candle (the color of truce) and put it in a window to invite Vesta’s presence (being sure it’s safe to do so, of course). Then take a piece of bread outside, breaking it into small bits so the birds can carry your wish of harmony across the earth.

Red Flower Meanings: What Do They Symbolize?

If you could envision the quintessential flower, it might be hard to decide on what kind it might be, but most likely it would be red. Indeed, no other flower says, “I love you,” quite like a red one. Yes, red flower symbolism includes true love. But it also includes so much more.

Here is a quick list of red flower meanings:

Romantic love

Passion

Excitement

Confidence

Wealth

Good luck

Security

Types of Red Flowers and Their Meanings

Red flower symbolism can have slight variations depending on the type of flower. Here are some examples:

Red roses mean romantic love and passion.

Poppy flowers symbolize honor and remembrance.

Hibiscus flowers symbolize hospitality and friendship.

Red tulips represent fresh starts and renewal.

Geraniums that are red symbolize good health and happiness.

Red orchids symbolize a happy marriage and prosperity.

Lilies that are red symbolize everlasting love.

Zinnias that are red represent romantic love and money.

Red cosmos symbolize soulmates.

Red Flower Symbolism Sends a Strong Message

Red flowers are suitable for many occasions. However, the strongest message they convey is romantic love. So, if given to the wrong person, they might send an unwelcome message! But when given to the right person – they speak volumes.

The color red is also associated with primal energy and your first chakra, or the root chakra. Your first chakra rules your security and stability. So, red flowers in the garden or as potted plants can provide positive energy for a home or business.

In summary, red flowers are classics. Green leaves provide the perfect contrast to scarlet, crimson, and fire-colored blooms. And few people can argue with their show-stopping beauty!

Spell for Today – Sprout a Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Sprout a Spell

From freewitchspells.com

Nothing says “new beginnings” like planting a seed, so use the power of a growing plant to bring success to your own new moon projects.

You need:

A small flower pot

Soil

Seeds (anything will do)

Egg shells

A small piece of paper

Get everything together and write your intentions on the paper. Keep it to a word or two, but enough to represent what you want to accomplish during this new moon. Put a little soil in the flower pot, then place in the bit of paper (fold it up), and then crush some egg shells on top of that. Fill up the rest of the pot with soil.

Repeat the following:

I plant this seed when the moon is new,
Bring me success, I ask it true.

Keep repeating this as you plant your seeds, and give them a little water. After the ritual, keep the pot somewhere sunny and you should start seeing some success in your plans when the plant begins to sprout. Keep it healthy and thriving to keep the magick going.

A Laugh for Today

When my local barista handed me my change, one coin stood out. “Look at that. You rarely get one of these old wheat pennies nowadays,” I said, tapping the sheaf of-wheat design. I handed her the penny. Turning it over and over in her hand, she said, “You know, I always thought they were made of copper.” —Linda Neukrug

Goddess Of The Day – Callisto

CALLISTO

 

Themes: Instinct; Protection; Flexibility

 

Symbols: A Bear; a Willow Branch; the Constellation Ursa Major

 

About Callisto:

Appearing sometimes as a she-bear guarding her cubs, the Greek goddess Callisto reinspires the natural instincts with which we have lost touch and illustrates the intensity of maternal love. Her other name is Helic, which means “to turn” or “willow branch”; she thus has the power to help with personal transformations. In mythology, Callisto became Ursa Major while pregnant with Zeus’s child. Artemis changed her into a bear, along with her son, who became Ursa Minor.

To Do Today:

In Korea, the festival of Chilsong-je begins at midnight with an offering of white rice and water to the seven stars (Ursa Major). This gift ensures Callisto’s assistance when needed throughout the coming months. If you can’t stay up till midnight, just leave the rice and water in a special spot before you go to bed.

From her celestial home, Callisto stands ready to protect us in the new year and provide us with adaptability as a coping mechanism. To encourage this, carry a silver or white stone bear, or a piece of dried willow wood. Bless this token, saying:

Callisto, release in me the power of flexibility.
Where’er I carry this little charm, keep me ever safe from harm.

If these tokens aren’t handy, you can substitute any white or silver item, or a hand-drawn picture of Ursa Major (the Big Dipper).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you are energized, invigorated and mentally alert, which is an excellent way to begin your week! That’s why this is a wonderful day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, writing, editing and acting because you will express yourself clearly and with enthusiasm.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day for business and commerce. Look for ways to boost your income or increase your financial activity, especially with clients, customers and contacts. You might also make money through a silent partnership or in a behind-the-scenes way.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will be productive today, especially working with groups or organizations because the theme of your day is teamwork. You will be particularly successful dealing with creative, artistic people and organizations. In turn, they will definitely listen to you!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even if you work alone or behind the scenes today, you will have an impact on others (especially a group) probably in a public way. This is why you will earn the respect of bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs – people in power. Remember Spiderman: “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your enthusiasm and leadership qualities will shine today. However, do be careful about acting too hastily. Get your facts and have a plan in mind so that you don’t do anything foolhardy. Explore travel opportunities as well as avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. You rock!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because your ambition is aroused today, you will accomplish a lot. (This is a powerful way to begin your week!) If you need the support of a group or another individual, be it practical or financial, you can count on it. In fact, ask for what you need because you will get it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to study, teach or give a class or a speech because you have the gift of the gab. You are mentally focused and eager to share what you know. Partners and close friends will be supportive. By working with others, you’ll accomplish a lot today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Coworkers will be supportive today, which is why you in turn, will be productive, especially through teamwork and the cooperation of others. Work-related travel is likely. A joint bid for increased support or equipment will help you materialize exactly what you need. Fingers crossed!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, be ready to cooperate with others. (Patience is your best friend today.) This is why you will get a tremendous amount done working with others in sports, children’s activities, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. Dig in!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have dynamic, focused, mental energy today, which will help you work and be productive. (You’re PowerPoint on steroids!) Work with groups and cooperate with others to not only be productive in your job, but also to get a lot done at home as well. Corral family members to pitch in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have high energy and a sense of competition today, which will spur you in sports activities. Your enthusiasm can encourage others, especially siblings, relatives and daily contacts. In addition, you have moneymaking ideas, all of which combine to make you a triple threat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Use your enthusiasm and high energy to make home improvements today. You will get the most done if you harness the energy of family members, friends and professional tradespeople. Because you’re charismatic and convincing, people will do your bidding. The help of others will help you accomplish a lot!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Kate Mara (1983) shares your birthday today. You are lovable and spontaneous. People admire you because you are confident and charismatic. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to take inventory. It’s also time to let go of the people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

A Thought for Today

I’m more of a skeptic of all religion but honestly given the way I feel

deep down inside Wicca is a much better fit  because At least under that system  the Pantheon above considers men and women equal, Gods and Goddesses.
As above, so below.
As in if in the heavens  the sexes are equal then down on the earth below they are as well
I’m- I have trouble  believing anything
I’m too scientifically educated to  believe anything too easily.
Even having seen success with Candle magick i’m like what if I didn’t burn what would have happened? I don’t know. There’s no control on those experiments.
So I can’t really be confident all I can tell you is I used the candles and something like what I wanted showed up.
