The Power of Solar Magick in Witchcraft
We always hear about the Moon in witchcraft, how she pulls at the tides of our souls, how she whispers in the dark. But what about the Sun? Solar magick is bold, energizing, life-affirming, and absolutely divine. It’s the fire in your chest, the light in your eyes, and the warmth that wakes the earth each morning.
Not every witch feels drawn to the night. Some of us bloom in daylight. We rise with the sun and feel our energy surge in the golden hours.
If you feel more alive under blue skies than moonlight, then solar magick is where your soul shines brightest.
Whether you’re dancing in the morning sun, whispering affirmations into your morning tea, or charging your tools under a blazing midday beam, this path is for you.
Sun Phases & Their Magick
Just like the moon, the sun follows a rhythm, and each phase holds unique energy you can tap into:
Sunrise
New beginnings, fresh starts, healing old wounds.
This is your golden window to set intentions, manifest clarity, or begin something new. Perfect for journaling, pulling tarot cards, or a cleansing bath with citrus oil.
Morning (After Sunrise – Before Noon)
Abundance, attraction, motivation, courage.
Work on spells for self-confidence, job hunting, attracting love, or friendship. Great for any “draw-in” magick, just like how flowers reach toward the light.
Noon (High Sun)
Peak power, charging, raw energy.
This is solar magick’s high tide. Charge your crystals (those that are sun-safe!), cleanse tools, brew solar elixirs, or do powerful intention work. Think: action, empowerment, bold moves.
Afternoon
Focus, mental clarity, productivity, and decision-making.
Cast spells for mental sharpness, remove confusion, or tackle that project you’ve been putting off. Write your petitions and goals under this steady light.
Sunset
Release, endings, transformation.
This is a soft but powerful time. Use it to break habits, let go of toxic patterns, or quiet your mind. Burn bay leaves with what you want to release, and whisper your freedom into the wind.
Solar Altar Additions
Your altar is your sacred space. Let it glow with the Sun’s strength:
- Gold or bronze ornaments
- The Sun tarot card
- Sunflowers, oranges, or dried citrus slices
- Candles in yellows, oranges, and reds
- Sun-themed statues (Ra, Apollo, Amaterasu… or your own symbol!)
Solar Crystals
These stones radiate solar energy and boost your work:
- Citrine – Abundance, personal power
- Sunstone – Joy, optimism, leadership
- Amber – Ancient wisdom, healing, solar warmth

🌞 Bonus Tip: Wear these as jewelry or pop one in your bra to carry your solar spellwork with you all day.
Plants & Herbs of the Sun
These herbs and flowers hold solar correspondences and are perfect for spells, teas, oils, and offerings:
- Sunflower – Devotion, solar offerings
- Rosemary – Mental clarity, cleansing
- Marigold – Protection, psychic vision
- Citrus fruits – Cleansing, joy, energy
- Chamomile – Calm strength, peace
- Bay leaves – Success, wish magick

Sun Water Spell
Want a quick solar boost? Make Sun Water!
How-To:
- Fill a clear glass jar or a glass bottle with clean water.
- Add herbs (rosemary or lemon peel) or a crystal (like citrine).
- Place it in direct sunlight for a few hours.
- Use for cleansing your altar, spritzing your aura, or anointing candles.
🌞Tip: Add a pinch of sea salt for purification, or whisper affirmations into the jar before setting it out.
Reflect the Light
Mirrors and reflective surfaces like prisms or suncatchers amplify the Sun’s energy. Hang one above your altar or window to reflect light throughout your space; it brings clarity, protection, and a whole lotta glow.
Solar Movement & Stillness
Do yoga or meditate with sunlight warming your skin. That quiet stillness with golden rays washing over you? It’s pure therapy.
Ground yourself barefoot in the grass. Feel the Sun feed you. Let your body hum with that radiant power.
Simple Solar Spell: Confidence & Courage
Use this when you’re about to face something big.
You’ll need:
- A yellow candle
- A piece of Tiger’s Eye or Carnelian
- Orange peel or dried rosemary
- A mirror (optional)
Steps:
- At noon, light the candle and sit in front of it.
- Hold the crystal and speak:
“With the Sun above, I stand strong.
Bold in spirit, clear and long.
I rise with fire, no fear remains
The Sun empowers, flows through my veins.” - Gaze into the flame or mirror, breathe in courage.
- Snuff the candle, carry the crystal with you.
Final Thoughts
Solar magick is alive, radiant, loud, and grounding all at once. It’s not just for spells, it’s a lifestyle. It’s the way you show up.
How you hold your head high. How you let yourself shine without dimming for others.
Witchcraft doesn’t always live in the shadows. Sometimes, it blazes in broad daylight, just like you.
Go out there, and light it up.
Blessed Be☀️✨
