Six Super Simple Summer Solstice Spells

Boost radiance, creativity, love, and healing with the power of the Midsummer sun.

Midsummer Litha Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice—also known as Midsummer or Litha—marks the longest day of the year. With the sun at its highest point, energy is bright, bold, and overflowing. It’s the perfect time for sun magic, intention-setting, and spells that support renewal, confidence, love, and creative flow.

Below you’ll find six easy Summer Solstice spells designed to work with the radiant fire of the season. Each one is simple, powerful, and ideal for beginners and longtime magical practitioners alike.

1. Increase Your Radiance (Summer Solstice Love Spell)

You’ll need:

Wake up before dawn on the Summer Solstice and offer a single red rose to the earth as a symbolic gift to the rising sun. As sunlight climbs over the horizon, imagine your skin drinking in its brilliance.

Mist your entire body—including face and hair—with rose water. Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Send yourself compassion, warmth, and love as you merge with the sunrise. Let the light of Litha brighten your aura and awaken your inner radiance.


2. Supercharge Your Success (Litha Sunstone Spell)

You’ll need:

  • A sunstone

  • A piece of paper and pen

  • Midday sunlight

At solar noon or whenever the sun feels strongest, hold a sunstone in your right hand and let it soak in sunlight. Visualize solar energy filling your body and field, activating confidence and success.

As you bask in this energy, feel your desired success as if it’s already real. Let gratitude rise.

Write down what success looks like for you—using present tense language. Fold the paper toward you and place it on your altar with the sunstone on top. This creates a charged anchor for your intention throughout the season.

3. Open Up Your Creative Flow (Water + Sunlight Creativity Spell)

You’ll need:

  • A moving body of water (natural or manmade)

  • A paper, pen, and planner

  • Sunlight

Visit a moving body of water—river, stream, ocean, canal, or fountain. Watch the sunlight glittering on the surface and let it remind you of your own natural creative flow.

Sense the fire of the sun and the water’s fluidity inside you. Your creativity is a natural elemental force. Feel grateful for its presence.

Close your eyes, ask the spirits of water and sunlight to help you express yourself freely, and listen to any messages or impressions.

When you get home, write down concrete steps you can take to support your creativity. Block time in your calendar so this flow becomes part of your real-world rhythm.

(P.S. I also recommend this book for boosting creative flow.)


4. Heal Your Body Image (Summer Solstice Water Cleansing Ritual)

Midsummer Summer Solstice Litha

You’ll need:

  • A safe place to immerse yourself (lake, ocean, waterfall, stream) OR a bathtub or shower

  • Sunlight

  • Optional: candles and sea salt

Because body image is shaped by years of conditioning, healing it is a long-term journey—but ritual can help shift your energy and intention. And Litha, a holiday of vitality and self-acceptance, is an ideal time.

If you have access to safe natural water, immerse your whole body—including your head. If not, draw a cool or tepid bath with sea salt and candlelight, or simply take a quiet, cleansing shower.

As the water flows over you, imagine old stories and limiting beliefs dissolving away.

Then go outside and stand in sunlight. Feel the rays clearing painful emotions and replacing them with supportive, empowered new beliefs about your body. Ask the sun to help you see yourself with compassion and truth. Soak in gratitude.

(P.S. This book is incredibly helpful for body image healing, and this one deeply supported my own food-healing journey.)


5. Release Old Relationship Energy (Midsummer Cord-Cutting Spell)

You’ll need:

  • Sunlight

If you’ve ended a relationship and want to clear lingering energy, the Summer Solstice is an excellent time for release work.

Start by removing physical items connected to your former partner—gifts, mementos, or anything charged with emotional weight. Donate, recycle, or discard what feels right. Symbolic choices are fine if the relationship was long-term.

Then step outside into bright sunlight. Breathe deeply and tune into the strength of the Solstice sun. Ask the sunlight to remove energetic cords, outdated emotional patterns, and residual attachment.

If you’re ready for new love, ask the sun to clear your path and brighten your magnetism. Let yourself feel open, renewed, and grateful.


6. Attract Love (Summer Solstice Love Spell with Rose Petals)

Midsummer Litha Summer Solstice

You’ll need:

Start by empowering the candles in the Solstice sun—hold one in each hand for a minute, just long enough to infuse them with warm, magnetic energy.

Set a plate on your altar and place the candles side by side. Scatter rose petals around them.

Center yourself, invoke the Divine in your preferred way, and speak aloud a gratitude-filled invocation as if the relationship you desire already exists. Feel the joy, connection, laughter, and attraction as fully as you can.

Light the candles and gaze at the flames for a few minutes, sinking into this sweetness. Then extinguish them.

Return daily to repeat the visualization until the candles burn down. Afterwards, dispose of the wax and return the rose petals to the earth.

  1. I remember my dad always saying that without the sun, he wouldn’t be as powerful and vital as he is . He had a lion’s mane of thick healthy hair till the day he passed. He lived till 100 years old, and kept his mind and body strong. He practiced meditation, connecting with plants, trees, cats. He claimed that the sun made weak men strong and he said that my mother’s golden sun kissed skin made her more beautiful and radiant. My parents always said that a little sun brought many blessings to them.
