The sun is one of the oldest symbols of strength, prosperity, and vitality. Witches and wise folk across time have honored its life-giving light — from dawn blessings to midsummer fires. You don’t need elaborate tools; the sun’s magic is always shining, ready to be welcomed into your craft.

Use these simple spells and seasonal rituals to align with solar energy for prosperity, confidence, and spark-in-your-veins vitality.

Quick Guide (what you might gather)

  • Gold/yellow candle (beeswax if possible)

  • Cinnamon (sticks or ground), dried orange peel

  • Hand mirror, gold/yellow ribbon or thread

  • Clear glass jar with lid

  • Citrus slices, mint or rosemary, cinnamon stick, honey

  • Optional crystals: citrine, sunstone, pyrite (avoid sunlight for light-sensitive stones)

Safety notes: Burn candles within sight. For sun tea, pre-boil then cool water if you want extra caution, and refrigerate + drink the same day.


Spell 1 — A Simple Sun Spell for Prosperity & Strength

You’ll need:
Gold/yellow candle • Pinch of cinnamon • Dried orange peels • Fire-safe dish/cauldron

When: Sunrise or high noon are lovely, but anytime the sun is out works.

Steps

  1. Place the candle at the center of your altar.

  2. Circle its base with cinnamon and dried orange peel.

  3. Light the candle and say:
    “By the sun’s bright fire, strength and joy I now inspire.”

  4. Sit a moment. Feel warmth filling you like sunlight moving through your chest and shoulders.

  5. Let the candle burn safely, or snuff and relight over several days as needed.

Carry the magic: Keep a small piece of dried orange peel in your pocket for an abundance boost.


Spell 2 — Sun Mirror Confidence Rite

You’ll need:
Hand mirror • Gold/yellow candle • Ribbon/thread (gold/yellow) • Pinch cinnamon + strip dried orange peel • (Optional) diluted sweet orange essential oil

When: Sunrise or high noon

Steps

  1. Place the mirror where sunlight hits it; crescent the cinnamon + orange peel around the base.

  2. Light the candle and say:
    “Sun above, shine through me;
    warm my words, set my spirit free.”

  3. Gaze softly into the mirror as the light warms your reflection.

  4. Tie ribbon on the handle or lightly anoint the edge with your intention.

  5. Snuff the candle. Keep the mirror where it can catch light for daily confidence.


Spell 3 — Vitality Sun Tea & Honey Blessing

You’ll need:
Clear glass jar • Water (pre-boiled/cooled recommended) • Orange slices • Mint or rosemary • 1 cinnamon stick • Honey • (Optional) citrine nearby (not inside)

Steps

  1. Fill the jar with water, citrus, herbs, and cinnamon.

  2. Place in sunlight 2–4 hours and say:
    “Sunlit brew, bright and clear,
    fill my body with good cheer.”

  3. Strain, swirl clockwise, and sweeten with honey.

  4. Sip facing the sun, imagining its energy moving through you.

Safety tip: Refrigerate immediately. Enjoy within the same day.
