Birthday for the Sun Spell

This is a spell that sparks the imagination and inner child; it is also a good
spell to do with children if they are being raised in the Wiccan or modern
pagan tradition.
You will need:

• a gold, yellow, white, or orange candle to represent the Sun
• birthday candles (three, five, or seven are all suitable amounts for this spell)
• enough cupcakes for the amount of birthday candles. Choose frosting and/or decorations in the colors of the sun for a maximum effect.
• white or yellow flowers, decorations, streamers, etc.

Decorate the altar with the streamers, flowers, and candles. Light the sun
candle, and say:
“New Sun, welcome to the world.”
Light the birthday candles and say:
“Make a wish, your heart be true,
as we celebrate this night with you,
welcome home, triumphant Sun,
and enjoy this feast with everyone.”
You may allow any children present to blow out the birthday candles (but not
the sun candle), or you can blow them out yourself. Share the cupcakes with
all present, but leave one for the Sun God.
