I am fierce and warm and untameable.
Don’t expect me to shine only for you.
Crystal: citrine, sunstone, golden calcite, tiger’s eye, clear quartz
Flame: match or candle
Location: A quiet place in the sun, inside or outside is fine.
- Take your crystal and let it soak up some wonderful sunshine (not for too long because it could fade! Use your crystals responsibly!)
- Light your candle and place the charged crystal near it. If you’re using a match hold the crystal in your other hand and gaze at the flame.
- Chant, mentally or out loud:
“I am awake,
I am refreshed,
I am whole,
I shine bright,
I am the light.”
- Feel recharged and refreshed for the day!

Region’s Main Deities
Hi! I’m a beginner in sun witchcraft and I’m excited to begin my craft but I’ve been looking for banishing spells that could be tied to sun witchcraft and I haven’t found any. Got any ideas? Ty ty 🤍💫
TONS OF IDEAS!! Keep in mind my craft is 100% intuition and energy so these may not be traditional.
🌵cactus- they're extremely helpful with banishing and warding because of their needles!
🌶peppers!- I'm not a huge fan of spicy I wont lie, but peppers of all kinds are very helpful for banishing. I use black pepper because I like it sooo much more than regular peppers. They correspond with the sun & fire.
💥spices- cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and any spicy or warm spice is good for banishment and correspond with sun magic. Cinnamon is my favorite one.
🌼other herbs/plants- dandelion, bay leaves, marijuana, frankincense, juniper
☀️anything that symbolizes a blinding sun or a sun that's too bright to bear, anything scorching for powerful banishment, this can be as simple as letting your ingredients sit in direct sunlight at noon until they're very warm
🌅 sunset and noon- are a good time for banishment
🌻 sunflower and sunflower seeds- I correspond with protection
💎mirror and crystals- mirrors and Crystal's like carnelian, goldstone, sunstone, and pyrite are all good for banishment
💛sun salts, red salts, or black salt
🏹🗡bows and arrows, swords
🌵aloe for more gentle banishment
🏜 desert imagery, desert sand, etc.
⚫the dark side- the sun can be warm, loving, life-giving, and positive but it can also be harsh, relentless, drying, blinding, and can also be associated with war. So embrace the "dark side" of the sun
☀️For a sun witch banishment spell I would personally use:
A jar
Black pepper
Cinnamon
Bay leaves
Juniper
Cloves
Sunflower seeds
A few cuctus needles
A peice of pyrite
Blood -personally I like to use blood in my craft (blood witch & phlebotomist), but this is 100% optional and if you chose to use blood please be safe!
Red salt or sun salt
And then let it charge at noon to sunset in a place where the sunlight feels very warm and blinding/harsh
I hope this helps sunflower!!!🌻😘
Orion and The Witch
🍓❤☀️Summer of Love Strawberry spell☀️❤🍓
A tasty snack, and spell, to bring you love this summer.
What you need:
🍓Strawberries- love (all types), happiness, summer magic (this spell also works with strawberry ice cream)
💎Sugar-love, sweetness, attraction
🍂Cinnamon- love, warmth, sun magic
☀️A sunny spot, especially outside
What to do:
🍓Get as many strawberries as you’d like
🍓Mix the sugar with a dash or 2 of cinnamon
🍓go sit in your sunny spot and feel the suns warmth
🍓say “this summer, is the summer of love”
🍓dip the strawberries in the cinnamon sugar. And as you do, focus on intent and the type of love you want in you life. Feel the sunshine manifesting the energy with you as you eat.
🍓when you finish eating the spell is done! Enjoy!
☀️💧Ideas for using sun water💧☀️
🌞 drink first thing in the morning, or whenever you’re low on spoons, for an energy boost
🌞consider charging locations, like: sun water charged by/in a courthouse for justice, a playground for energy, a beach for happiness. Etc.
🌞consider charging times, like: sun water charged by the summer solstice for abundance, happiness, and faery magic. Sun water charged by the autumnal equinox for warmth, clarity, prosperity, and peace etc.
🌞 drink when you’re feeling sad for a happiness boost
🌞wash your face with sun water for a confidence glamour, bravery/armor glamour, hapiness boost and to give your skin a glow
🌞drink it before a speech or presentation for confidence and leadership
🌞take your medicine, vitamins, etc, with it, or drink it when you feel sick for a health boost
🌞mix it with lemon juice for a potent cleansing spell
🌞drink before school or studying to help you remember what you learn, stay confident, and protect you
🌞use it as an offering to solar deities
🌞 put some sun water in a spray bottle with a little sunflower oil (or any carrier oil) and some sunny essential oils (citrus, cinnamon, frankincense, etc.) And use it as a room spray/perfume
🌞water your plants with it! Especially cacti/succulents!!
🌞bless your solar magic tools in it
🌞put a few drops in your eye or on your eyelid to enhance clairvoyance
🌞 rub some on your eyes/ears with intent to hear/see the truth
🌞use it for water scrying for a very clear and honest answer
🌞use it for baking or cooking to add a bit of sunshine, happiness, good fortune, and health to your food

A quiet, starry night sky might not seem like a very eerie spectacle, but space can be a creepy place! Monsters lurk in the shadowy depths of the universe, sometimes hidden in plain sight. Many of them are invisible to our eyes, so we have to use special telescopes to see them. Read on to discover some of these strange cosmic beasts, but beware — sometimes fact is scarier than fiction.
You know those nightmares where no matter how fast you try to run you never seem to get anywhere? Black holes are a sinister possible version of that dream — especially because they’re real! If you get too close to a black hole, there is no possibility of escape.
Just last year our Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope traced an otherworldly ghost particle back to one of these monster black holes, providing additional insight into the many signals we’re picking up from some of the most feared creatures in the cosmic deep.
But it gets worse. Our Hubble Space Telescope revealed that these things are hidden in the hearts of nearly every galaxy in the universe. That means supermassive black holes lurk in the shadows of the night sky in every direction you look!
This fiendish specter lives in the center of the Milky Way, haunting our galaxy’s supermassive black hole. But it’s not as scary as it looks! Our SOFIA observatory captured streamlines tracing a magnetic field that appears to be luring most of the material quietly into orbit around the black hole. In other galaxies, magnetic fields seem to be feeding material into hungry black holes — beware! Magnetic fields might be the answer to why some black holes are starving while others are feasting.
The universe has bats in the attic! Hubble spotted the shadow of a giant cosmic bat in the Serpens Nebula. Newborn stars like the one at the center of the bat, called HBC 672, are surrounded by disks of material, which are hard to study directly. The shadows they cast, like the bat, can clue scientists in on things like the disk’s size and density. Our solar system formed from the same type of disk of material, but we can only see the end result of planet building here — we want to learn more about the process!
A jack-o-lantern in space?! Our Solar Dynamics Observatory watches the Sun at all times, keeping a close eye on space weather. In October 2014, the observatory captured a chilling image of the Sun with a Halloweenish face!
On Halloween a few years ago, an eerie-looking object known as 2015 TB145 sped across the night sky. Scientists observing it with our Infrared Telescope Facility determined that it was most likely a dead comet. It’s important to study objects like comets and asteroids because they’re dangerous if they cross Earth’s path — just ask the dinosaurs!
Trick-or-treat! Add a piece of glowing cosmic candy to your Halloween haul, courtesy of Hubble! This image shows the Saturn Nebula, formed from the outer layers ejected by a dying star, destined to be recycled into later generations of stars and planets. Our Sun will experience a similar fate in around five billion years.
Massive stars are in for a more fiery fate, as the Witch’s Broom Nebula shows. Hubble’s close-up look reveals wisps of gas — shrapnel leftover from a supernova explosion. Astronomers believe that a couple of supernovae occur each century in galaxies like our own Milky Way.
Supernovae usually herald the death of a star, but on a few occasions astronomers have found “zombie stars” left behind after unusually weak supernovae. Our Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has even spotted a mysterious glow of high-energy X-rays that could be the “howls” of dead stars as they feed on their neighbors.
The universe is brimming with galaxies, but it’s also speckled with some enormous empty pockets of space, too. These giant ghost towns, called voids, may be some of the largest things in the cosmos, and since the universe is expanding, galaxies are racing even farther away from each other all the time! Be grateful for your place in space — the shadowy patches of the universe are dreadful lonely scenes.
Some forces are a lot creepier than floorboards creaking or a door slamming shut unexpectedly when you’re home alone. Dark energy is a mysterious antigravity pressure that our Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is going to help us understand. All we know so far is that it’s present everywhere in the cosmos (even in the room with you as you read this) and it controls the fate of the universe, but WFIRST will study hundreds of millions of galaxies to figure out just what dark energy is up to.
