Simple ways to work with the sun

💛 Prefer practicing at sunrise. For extra magical intent, wait until the sun is at its peak in the sky.

💛 In the summer months, try to sunbathe every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. It will help you absorb the sun's energy. You'll be able to redirect it in spells or rituals.

💛 Research what kinds of offerings are most appropriate for the sun, and leave them outside for a blessing.

💛 Make sun water by placing jars of water outside at midday.
