Recently, I've added astrology into my craft a lot more. From doing research about my own birthday (along with what I know about my sign Saggitarius), I found that moon water really wasn't cutting it for my energy. Unlike many people, I didn't feel revitalized or totally cleansed after using moon water. I charged it on many different cycles and times but it just wasn't working.
What was when my research led me to Sun Water. It seemed to fit right into my sign: I am a fire sign, my planet is Jupiter, and when I was born the Sun was actually in Jupiter) so I decided to give it a try.
BOY let me tell you it was amazing. Cleansing my tools with the water, they seemed to be glowing when recharged. Cleansing my spaces seemed to leave a brightened atmosphere. Even my ritual baths made me feel more energetic and cleansed and ready to work (something that moon water honestly couldn't do no matter how many herbs I added to it).
For those that want to make Sun Water, it's similar to Moon Water only with a twist: You leave the water out in a container from either dawn till dusk, or you can leave it out for at least five to eight hours. Unlike Moon Water, if you feel it isn't charged enough the first time, you can simply leave it out again for a few more hours under the sunlight (which is something that I haven't noticed you can really do with moon water).
Some uses for sun water include Cleansing and Charging tools for Sun Deities, Cleansing tools, cleansing altars for sun deities, it has shown uses in healing magic. When cleansing though, it provides an extra oomph that helps get out the most negative and stagnant energy. With my spell work, it has made it a lot more powerful.
So what are your thoughts on Sun Water? Has anyone tried it? What herbs do you like to steep in your ritual water if any? Let me know <3
Sounds like a great idea and I definitely want to give it a go, but I'm just curious as to how you didn't light things on fire. If we want the water to be hit by sunlight to charge, it will need to be a see-through jar, and sun going through glass tends to start fires. How did you get around this?
Good question :) a lot of glass jars/bowls don’t focus the light Enough to actually start a fire. (You see it with magnifing glasses because the light is going through a fixed point). if you want to be really careful you can use an older style glass that still let’s light in but is a little cloudy (one of my bowls is, I just have a clear lid). The perks of Sun Water is that if you feel you didn’t charge it enough the first go around you can charge it multiple times
You'd need a focal point to actually set something on fire. Not all glass surfaces are lenses. And if you're worried just set it on the ground, on the grass or on any non flammable surface
@zozo , I had the same thought! @WhichWitch1996 I'm glad you took those precautions; that's a lot more forethought than most people put into their work. :-) Your whole take on sun water vs. moon water really resonates with the "science guy" who lives inside my head... I've always bumped my nose against the science that tells me moonlight is actually reflected sunlight. (I am not trying to in any way "put down" lunar energies, for anyone reading this... I'm just talking about what goes on inside my cranium, it by no means has to be the same thing going on inside anyone else's!)
Well... That's a fact though. Lunar light is solar light reflected. Just as the majority of the light that allows us to see any of the other planets at the end of the day. I don't think it's demeaning. Afterall no planet is a perfect mirror which means not all the spectrum of the solar light is ever going to be reflected back to us. So in that sense moon (and other planetary) light is "different" from sun light.
Good idea. That's what I was wondering too. I'm like... But what about SUN water though. 😂 I'm glad I wasn't alone.
