What do you think of when someone mentions Sunday? A day of rest and relaxation? A day to spend with family? A day of worship? A day to cheer on our favorite football teams? Just the name in and of itself suggests bright sunny skies and warmth. Maybe it is all of the above!
In magickal terms, Sunday is ruled by, you guessed it, the energy of the Sun. The Sun’s energy is primarily viewed as a masculine energy, evoking the ideas of virility, vitality, and fatherhood.
Fatherhood can evoke feelings of love and affection, teaching, guidance, and protection. This is a great day to spend with your children. Devote your time to them wholeheartedly. Play with them, read with them, just be with them. So often in today’s society, we forget these obligations to our children. Take time today to just be with them and give them your focus. The Emperor Tarot card embodies these ideals of fatherhood and can be a good card to meditate on for the day.
But, the Sun also encourages us to seek our inner child, to get out and enjoy the day, bask in the warmth of its rays, and play. This aspect also fosters our creativity. Watch a child at play, and see how they can literally create worlds, and events with nothing more than some sticks, dirt, water, and maybe a cardboard box or two!
Since Sunday’s energy encourages us to focus on our creative natures, it is a great day to focus on manifesting your desires. Take your ideas and bring them into reality. Is there something you have been wanting to make or create? Take some steps today to bring it into fruition. You do not have to complete it, just take a few positive steps in the right direction. Get a start! What better card to embody these ideas than the Magician? He takes the four elements, works with them, and manifests his desires. He points to the sky with his wand, while pointing to the ground with his other hand, implying bringing the intangible into the tangible world.
We create our Sunday day candles with all these aspects in mind, infusing them into each candle. Our candles are dipped or molded with yellow wax to represent the warming rays of the Sun. To the tealights, we add the alchemical symbol for the Sun to the top of the candle for an extra boost. When using the tapers, I like to gently carve this symbol into the base of the candle to add my intentions to it as well.
Lighting one of our Sunday day candles can help bring this energy to bear for you. Add one to your altar on Sunday as a petition to bring the Sun’s energy to you this day. Light one to help you to focus on the energy of the day and bring it into your life. Use one to add an extra boost when performing your magickal works on Sunday.
You can find Sunday taper candle pairs, and our Day of the Week tealight sets (including one tealight for each day of the week) in our shop on our website www.magickalcandlez.com.
