Sun magic

Simple, ordinary acts are magickal, if you do them with magickal intent.

The sun’s still in Leo for a few more days and the sunflowers are blooming. It’s almost time for the state fair. It’s a good time for Sun-magic, to save a bit of the Sun’s energy to give you a magic moment when it’s cold and dark.

Here’s a practical working that will bring a touch of summer into the cold times: If you have a place to hang laundry outside to dry, wash some of your winter things (such as bedsheets) and hang them to dry in the sun. Ask the water to bless and purify your things as you put them in the washing machine. Ask the Sun and the wind and the fragrant green Earth to bless and purify them when you hang them up to dry. And when everything’s completely dry, speak a prayer of gratitude to the Sun as you fold it all up and put it away. When you get your things out on some cold grey morning, they will still have the scent of the outdoors. You’ll get a sudden breath of summer.
