Hi everyone, Bunny here and today i have a surprise for you! This is one of my very first witchy blog posts, centered around solar magic! So buckle up and get ready for my basic guide, a future surprise (yes, another one!!!!!!)
Well I'm so glad you asked my child! Solar witchcraft is a branch of witchcraft that uses the sun as the core. Core? Yes the core. The core being the what the branch or path centers around, and what it utilizes most, the Sun! The Sunne is a great source of healing, energy, confidence, and just overall pick me up! This branch of magic or witchcraft can be seen as more of a sub-division of a bigger branch, such as cosmic magic!
There are so many fun and creative ways to really make the Sunne apart of your practice! Such as but not limited to:
Eat Lemons
Eat oranges
Eat any kind of fruit that is in the citrus family
Honor a solar deity
Make a Sunne altar
Make Sunne tea

Make Sunne Salt
Buy a Sunne catcher
Buy crystals that can physically represent the Sunne in your space
Success Spells
Beauty spells
Confidence spells
Protection spells
Dried orang peels

Lion's Gate Portal 🧿888🦁 August 8 2024
The Lion's Gate Portal aligns with the heliacal rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. This alignment occurs in the sign of Leo, hence the name "Lion's Gate." Astrologically, Leo is associated with courage, strength, and self-expression, making this period a potent time for setting intentions and focusing on personal growth.
ੈ✩‧₊⋆。‧˚ʚ☀️ɞ˚‧。⋆
The significance of the Lion's Gate Portal is further amplified by the numerology of the date, 8/8. The number 8 is considered powerful in numerology, symbolizing abundance, power, and infinite potential. When combined with the energetic influence of Leo and Sirius, the Lion's Gate Portal becomes a time of heightened spiritual awareness and potential for profound transformation.

Inspired deeply by another post that I will reblog as soon as I can find it again, I wish to share this ritual which has helped me, and a way of thinking that has helped me in my day-to-day occult existence. I wrote a post on the spiritual vitamins but let's also put this down:
Rather than focusing on a specific intent, define what you most need in the present.
If you are feeling as though your boundaries aren't strong enough, or that you need more assertion, workings within the boundary of Mars or Saturn would be good. If you're dealing with grief, working with the moon's influence would be of aid, or working or incorporating the element of water into rituals. I adapt my daily practice as needed to include the invocation of certain elements or planets depending on the circumstances that are evident in mind, body and soul. If I'm feeling sluggish, a little bit of fire or solar energy is of good work. If I'm too in my emotions, adding air energy to either help me bring rationality into the mix or earth energy to bring me back to earth would work better than a ritual. So, in a basic and most undeniably inevitable sense, let your craft supplement your life, not your life your craft.
Now we move onto the second bit, the Psyche Sigils. This was a mixture of shadow work and sigil magic to access particular parts of me that I had neglected. The basic premise is to go through emotions that you need to process or examine such as:
Anger
Pain
Feelings of Loneliness
Feelings of Injustice towards the self
Feelings of Lack or Low Self-Esteem
And so on, in this sigil, it becomes your link to these aspects of yourself. Let yourself enter into a meditative state, contemplating the emotion while you go about it. Then, when they are complete, sit and meditate with them. Use them as access points towards those particular emotions, summon them forward. Let them take form, don't try to manipulate the form because the symbolism that the mind chooses is always an interesting experience. When the Personification of the Emotion comes forward, sit with them for a while. Ask them questions such as:
What is your source of manifestation?
In which way do you manifest in my life currently?
How can I acknowledge and reconcile you in my life?
And so on. Now, it might seem counter-intuitive to invite negative emotions and speak with them in such a matter but it is even more counter-intuitive to try and demonize and shut them down. They are you, you are them, you are human and you are the experiencer and beholder of these emotions. This rite seems to work by way of bringing conscious awareness to things that the magus has shut away in hopes of being a better person or to meet some gain. By acknowledging and making way to heal the emotion, it becomes a much more potent experience because you approach it in a more conducive way, understanding your emotions rather than trying to see them as an external force. From then, this rite can be done consecutively, and one can follow the advice given by the personifications of these emotions on how to remedy them or how to work with them in a way that is more conducive to your existence. I hope this helps. The first step to any issue is to acknowledge the issue, find its source and work to remedy it in both long-term and short-term instances... the old acronym, VITRIOL...
☽ I AM CLEANSED ☾
May you be cleansed, however much you need to be cleansed. May you be cleansed of all burdens that do not belong to you. May you be cleansed of emotions that do not pertain to you. May you know the difference what is your essence and what is tainting it. May you alchemize and let go. May you be cleansed.

Incorporating solar magic into your practice can illuminate your path to self-discovery, empowerment, and manifestation.
Phases of the Sun 🌅🌞🌇
Just like the moon, the sun has different phases that can be used to amplify your magical workings:
Sunrise: A time of new beginnings, renewal, and fresh starts. Perfect for setting intentions and starting new projects.
High Noon: The peak of the sun’s power. Use this time for spells related to health, physical energy, and wisdom.
Sunset: A moment of transition and release. Ideal for banishing negativity, stress, and confusion.
Magical Properties of the Sun 🌞🔮
The sun’s energy is incredibly versatile and can be used for various magical intents, including:
Success and Ambition: Channel the sun’s power to achieve your goals and dreams.
Empowerment: Boost your confidence and personal strength.
Health and Vitality: Enhance your physical and mental well-being.
Creativity and Fulfillment: Ignite your creative spark and find joy in your passions.
Creating a Sun Altar 🌞🕯️
Setting up a sun altar can help you connect with solar energy. Here are some ideas for your altar:

Colors: Use yellow, orange, and gold to represent the sun’s vibrant energy.
Herbs and Crystals: Include sun-linked herbs like rosemary, chamomile, and sunstone crystals.

Sun water is a powerful tool in solar magic. To make it, simply place a glass jar or bowl of water in the sunlight to charge. You can use sun water in spells, to cleanse tools, or add it to your bath for a refreshing boost of solar energy.

*whispers* (I’m whispering because it’s very important that we keep this very low key)
hey, you know that ancient grimoire you’ve been searching for but can’t get shipped to your country, is probably on Anna’s Archives. Yeah… you could download it for free… pretty much any text you can think of regardless of how old it is, it’s probably on there… give it a little searchy search and you’ll probably find the entire book for free… just saying.
Having a hard copy is always nice. But when I’m trying to figure out if a grimoire is worth dumping money on… it’s always nice to have a little free trial,…
just saying ….
