Soak Up The Sun: Solar Magick for Beginners

This article is an excerpt from the July 2026 Newsletter

Being that our name is "Triple Moon Waxcraft" it makes sense that we put so much emphasis and focus on the moon, and her phases and power. So many of us who practice witchcraft feel more comfortable with the moon- but did you know there are many Sun Witches who practice solar magick?

Solar magick works very similarly to lunar magick- and you don't have to just choose one or the other. We firmly believe that both of these amazing celestial bodies deserve our love, attention, and gratitude.

We've got a few ways you can add a little solar magick to your daily routine, and who knows, maybe you'll feel more at home under her rays.

Simple Solar Magick Rituals:

• Greet the sun - When you get up for your day say hello to the sun outside. You can tell her about your plans for the day, and what you are hoping to manifest. She is your biggest cheer leader, and feeling a little bit of her rays on your face may give you a bit of the energy you need

• Charge yourself - The sun, and the vitamin D she gives us can help us feel more charged. Safely, take a few moments under the sun to soak in her rays. Feel the way they warm your skin, that is her way of letting you know you are loved and seen. Take a moment to say at least 3 kind things either about yourself, or your life.

• Show Gratitude - The beautiful world we live in is only possible because of the life the sun gives us all. When you are traveling through your day, try to focus on the small beautiful miracles around you. Say hello to the plant growing out of the sidewalk, or pick up a piece of litter to help your local environment. Say thank you to the sun when you do these things. Gratitude in this way can be very enriching, and soul filling.

• Invite the Sun into your home - The Sun can help cleanse our spaces and bring new energy into our homes. Pull back your curtains, and open your windows when you can and invite her into your home.

• Dress for the Sun - The sun is a symbol of joy, beauty, energy, and warmth. If you want to manifest more of those things in your life, you can incorporate solar themes into your outfits and be a walking alter to her. Wear you favorite gold jewelry, or bright colorful outfits. Put your favorite gold glitter on your eyelids or paint your nails yellow. When you do these things, do them with intention, and focused thoughts on what you are hoping to manifest.

Most importantly

• Wear Sunscreen - While we love our sun goddess, it is so pertinent to enjoy her rays safely. Wearing sunscreen, big hats, or swimming shirts won't prevent you from working with her, and enjoying her energy. When you put on your sunscreen, you can even make it ritual by visualizing a protective barrier not just from harmful UV, but from whatever other negative energy you may be carrying. The best way we can honor the sun, and the life she's given us is by fiercely protecting ourselves from physical harm like sun burns or skin cancer.
