Sun Energize Me :)

I love this book, I mean why wait for the different phases of the moon? It makes harnessing the energy of nature so much more accessible!

Here comes The Sun...

This is simply a marvelous book, and once again, helped to establish Ms Morrison as one of my favorite authors of all-time. This book shines in the market filled with books on just the moon, with little or no focus on the God and the sun. With correspondences focusing on the different times of the day when the sun shines (with prayers, rituals and spells for each) to how the sun affects our lives, this book holds an esteemed spot in my library. Bravo, Ms Morrison and thank you!

Wow!Finally a book on working with the Sun energies & More!

I absolutely love this book!Dorothy Morrison truly is concise and presice with her teaching of the Craft!A book for all..from Novices to the more learned. Very easy to understand and apply. I highly recommend this book to all.Way to go Dorothy!

At Long Last

I have been studying the Craft fully for the last 2 years. One of the things Iv noticed is the reverance for the Goddess, the Moon, and speaking of equality. But....their is very little on the God who is represented by the Sun as the Goddess is the Moon. Ms. Morrison had corrected that mistake with this book. I read about it nearly a year ago and have waited for it. A worthy wait indeed. I have nothin bad to say about this book as it is a great way to help Craft Brothers and Sisters connect with the Consort of the Goddess

Excellent look at the Sun and its Special Magic

There are many books written about the feminine Moon: moon phases, moon rituals and moon Goddesses. Dorothy Morrison presents us with a book on the much neglected male side of our religion, the Sun, exploring the yang side of Wicca and the Craft. Ms. Morrison focuses on the lore, the astrological correspondences, the rituals, and the spells for the other half of our balanced lives. The book is divided into two sections. Part One is called Embracing the Sun This part of the book covers the lore of the sun, how it has influenced our lives (very basic: the hours of the day - how we come to count and measure time) to how it continues to be an influence in language, song and story. She covers some symbols associated with the sun and their meanings. She also examines how the sun relates to religion, from worship to Deity to our own Goddesses. The book discusses the aspects of the Sun, in relation to the male energies it personifies. We follow the energy as through the growing phases of man, from infancy to old age, giving us a refreshingly easy to understand look at this energy and what it represents. This becomes important when we look at the magic involved and how it is going to relate further on in relationship to times of day, magical correspondences and energy. It becomes apparent that this book was well thought out. The book flows from idea to idea like thoughts on a train, one leading right into another. I was impressed with the research and how well Dorothy crafted this book, enabling anyone to pick this up and understand the basics. The book progresses to the astrological correspondences of the sun. Though the explanations are brief, there is a lot of information crammed into this section, along with an affirmation for each sign. The purpose of this section is not to discuss details of sun influences on the individual, but set the stage for working rituals and magic and how the correspondences will be associated with the celebrations and magical work being introduced next. We are given a brief but exact look at Virgo Sun or Libra Sun, for example, to understand the next steps. Again, a good, even flow to the work makes it easy to follow and a pleasure to read. The last part of Part One is about Sun ritual and celebrations. While it starts with the basics, it again follows the astrological correspondences to form rituals that blend with the energy of each sign. Part Two gets into what Dorothy Morrison is best known for, her spells and spell work. She is, I feel, the mistress of the modern day spell. No one writes them better or makes it easier to work them successfully. Each set of spells is laid out according to the Sun energy you will need to successfully work and attain a specific result. We reference back to the stages of the male growing up corresponding to the time of day, and the energy necessary for the intent of your work. So we have Dawn: Infant/Child; Morning: Adolescent Brother/Lover; Noon: Father and so
