## Challenge Entry :sun:

I have been so happy ☺ since Monday that it seems since the Equinox, the sun :sun: has decided to be a more regular occurrence in my area! I have always had a wonderful connection with the sun & it always makes my days just, so much **better** when it is shining brightly in the sky!

I had also been thinking about ways to incorporate the sun into my practice more often over the last few weeks! So this was perfect timing in that way too! 🤗

First, I did some research on 🧐 Sun/Solar Magick & I found that there is a book I now have on my list 📖 _ **Pagan Portals on Sun :sun: Magic!** _ So we have that in the works to be coming my way & really strengthen 💪 using honoring or using the sun more than I do currently. 🤩

Due to the times that my husband & son leave for work, I find myself outside very close to or during the sunrise 🌅 & if I’m not, my husband will wake me up to go outside & look at or watch the sky as the sun starts cresting the horizon & the different colors & shades in the sky as it does so. I think one of my favorite times to be out there in the AM is when to my right I can see the sun coming up & to my left I can still see the last of the Moon before it’s out of sight for the day. That’s another topic for another day though 😆

There are times _(a few this past week)_ that for one reason or another, I oversleep. On those days, depending on the weather, my husband will send me pictures of the sunrise from his view at work. Those are some of my favorite pictures. I am always uplifted & grateful for the sun being awake & shining so brightly in the sky.

Another one of my favorites is when I take my pupper for our morning drive 🚗 _(also depending on the time)_ is seeing how the sun is shining over the ocean 🌊 from 1 of our beaches or views on our drive in the morning.

I also tend to just _“hang out”_ with the sun throughout the day. After a certain time, the sun is above the treeline 🌳 & from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, it is completely over my backyard. At least once, but normally multiple times throughout the day 🏡 I will just head to my back porch, set up a chair & just sit there with the sun shining & just take in all of the things that are happening in & around my yard. Everything from how the sunlight plays off of different things, the shadows created, and the shimmers and sparkles off of items, flowers 🌻 grass, and plants 🌿 in my yard.

I will also watch the way the local wildlife 🐿 is more active & exploring the yards 🐇 & trees, playing with each other, and gathering things for their nests 🐦 or homes. I also take that time to make sure that I lay out my Eco-Drive watch ⌚ _(which uses sunlight & a [quartz crystal](https://forum.spells8.com/t/clear-quartz/6431) instead of a battery to keep it going)_ for at least an hour or 2, for a completely full charge that lasts quite a while… at least a week… it only needs 4 hours of sunlight from a completely depleted charge. So I like to just kind of 2 to 3 times a week leave it in sunlight for at least 1 hour \*(depending on the weather pattern, sometimes I leave it on the table on the porch, and other times I leave it on our kitchen window 🪟 sill.

Yesterday, was a bit dreary, and gray, and had more periods of rain 🌧 _(even if it was light rain)_ than periods of sun.

Today though, a lot of bright sun :sun: 😍 so I am currently making Sun Water in a mason jar! I have added Citrine & Clear Quartz to the jar. I also have my _ **“Light Seer’s Tarot”** _ spread out on the table we have on the back porch too. For some reason, with that deck I have always liked to use the sun for charging it 🤗

Once I am able to read the book 📕 on Sun Magick, I’m hoping to learn some other ways to be able to incorporate the sun into my practice whenever I am able to do so! 💞
