Welcome back to another installment of Understanding Magic, where we explore the different types of magic, energy practices and witchcraft from all different walks of life. With Spring here and the Sun becoming more present in the sky every single day, I figured it was about time to discuss Sun Magic & how to intertwine your energy with it.
Now there are many references to the Sun and working with the Sun throughout different text of all different religions, practices and sciences. Some practitioners of witchcraft consider the Sun to be a symbol of masculine energy, associated with strength, vitality, and creativity. Others see the Sun as a powerful source of light and warmth, representing enlightenment and transformation. From spells to deities to body movement practices, the Sun plays a vital role in most places you look!
Here are some great ways to add the Sun into your everyday practice:
Sun spells: These spells are designed to harness the energy of the Sun can be used for a ton of the Sun to bring us into action. You can use it to boost confidence and vitality, attract abundance and success, or promote healing and wellness. If you want to really bring in the power of the Sun, create a talisman or charm that incorporates symbols of the Sun. You can also perform rituals during the day or during more Sun filled times of year, like the Spring and Summer. My favorite way to incorporate the Sun is by simply meditating on the power of the Sun and its transformative energy.
Solar deities: Many cultures throughout history have worshipped deities associated with the Sun. Ra in Egypt, Brigid for the Celtics, as well as the Greek god Apollo, the Japanese goddess Amaterasu, and the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli. The list goes on. Invoking these deities in your magical practice can help you tap into the energy and power of the Sun, as well as draw on their wisdom and guidance.
Sun salutations: Some practitioners of witchcraft incorporate yoga or other physical practices into their sun-based rituals. The sun salutation, a series of yoga poses that are traditionally performed at sunrise or sunset as a way to honor the sun and connect with its energy is the most popular and well-known way to honor the Sun. These poses can be adapted to suit your individual needs and abilities and can be a great way to energize and ground yourself before or after a magical working.
Sun symbolism: The sun is a potent symbol in many cultures and spiritual traditions. Different cultures will show this celestial body representing concepts of enlightenment, rebirth, and transcendence. Incorporating sun symbolism into your magical practice can help you tap into these archetypal energies and draw on their transformative power. Look to Sun symbols like the sun wheel, the solar cross, and the solar disc.
Working with that big, beautiful body in the sky every day is wonderful! Especially if you tend to suffer from depression and darker times, the Sun really can heal you more than you realize. Take the small steps to work with the Sun today! Start out with something as simple as thanking the Sun for warming your body or face while you are outside today!
