The summertime is my favorite time of the year, followed by the Fall for witchy reasons. Feeling the Summer night breezes while dining outside, wearing a flowing dress or pants and a blouse, is heaven for me. I’m just in my fiery element. So the Summer Solstice is extra special to me.
The summer solstice marks a special moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, bringing us the longest day and shortest night of the year. This celestial event brings the energy
of light, abundance, and the peak of the sun’s energy. It symbolizes a period of growth, transformation, and the fulfillment of intentions, making this a great time for us to dive into our radiant energy.
Ways To Celebrate The Summer Solstice
Creating a Sacred Space
Create a sacred space that invites connection and reflection. Set up an outdoor altar adorned with sun-inspired decorations such as sunflowers, golden fabrics, and symbolic representations of the sun. Infuse your space with elements that embody the energy of the sun and evoke a sense of joy, warmth, and abundance.
Hosting a Bonfire Gathering
Gather your loved ones and embrace the warmth of the summer solstice with a bonfire gathering. Bonfires have long been associated with solstice celebrations, representing the light and power of the sun. Share stories, sing songs, or simply enjoy the mesmerizing dance of the flames. Encourage your guests to bring their intentions for the season ahead, and together, offer them to the fire as a symbol of transformation and release.
Engaging in Outdoor Rituals
Connect with nature and honor the sun’s energy by engaging in outdoor rituals on the summer solstice. Consider waking up early to witness the sunrise, meditating in a sunlit spot, or practicing sun salutations to welcome the day with gratitude and intention. Incorporate elements of fire, water, earth, and air in your rituals, aligning with the natural elements and the energy they bring.
Crafting Sun-Inspired Decorations
Get creative and infuse your space with sun-inspired decorations to set the mood for your summer solstice celebration. Craft sun catchers, mandalas, or sun wheels using vibrant colors, reflective materials, and natural elements. These handmade decorations not only enhance the atmosphere but also serve as visual reminders of the sun’s radiant energy and the abundant possibilities that lie ahead.

Wear colors that represent the sun
Using a bit of color magick, use colors such as yellow (optimism, positivity, and energy), orange (enthusiasm, creativity, and warmth), red (passion, power, and vitality), and gold (abundance, prosperity, and divine power).
Sunbathe
Use this practice to consume the sun’s warmth, boost Vitamin D levels, activate/cleanse the third eye, or relax by the pool, beach, etc. Use discernment with the length of time in the sun and times of day you sunbathe.

These divine beings embody the essence of fire – passion, strength, creativity, and destruction. By connecting with fire goddesses, we can tap into their fierce energy to ignite our own inner power and manifest positive change in our lives. Here are a few fire Goddesses: Pele, Oya, Sekhmet, Mawu, Brigid.
