5 Simple Sunset Spells for the Modern Witch

As the sun begins to set, there’s something magical that happens. The air becomes cooler, the sky fills with vibrant hues of orange and pink, and the world seems to slow down.

It’s the perfect time to tap into your spiritual side and perform a little magic.

But if you’re new to the world of witchcraft, the thought of casting spells can be intimidating. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of easy magic spells anyone can do at sunset.

These spells are perfect for the modern witch looking to add a little extra magic to their daily routine.

Manifestation Spell

Gather a few small crystals or stones that resonate with your intention as the sun sets.

This could be rose quartz for love, amethyst for spiritual enlightenment, or citrine for prosperity. Hold the stones in your hand and close your eyes. Visualize your desired outcome as vividly as possible, and then say out loud:

“As the sun sets and the moon rises, I call upon the elements to bring my manifestation to life. So mote it be.”

Place the stones in a place where you’ll see them every day, and continue to visualize your manifestation coming to fruition.

This spell is perfect for manifesting small goals or desires.

Protection Spell

Sunset is the perfect time to set your intentions for the evening and protect yourself from negative energy.

Start by lighting a white candle and placing it on a table in front of you.

Next, take a few deep breaths and focus on your intention to create a protective shield around yourself. Imagine a white light surrounding your entire body, keeping you safe and protected.

As you continue to visualize this white light, say the following words:

“I call upon the elements of earth, air, fire, and water to protect me from all harm. I am shielded and guarded by the light. So mote it be.”

Allow the candle to burn for a few more minutes, then blow it out.

This spell can be performed anytime you feel the need for extra protection.

Gratitude Spell

As the sun sets, take a few moments to express gratitude for all the blessings in your life.

Find a quiet spot outside, and sit down with a piece of paper and a pen. Write down everything you’re grateful for, big or small.

Once you’ve finished your list, fold the paper and hold it in your hands.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

As you exhale, visualize all the things you’re grateful for becoming even brighter and more present in your life.

Say the following words out loud:

“I am grateful for the abundance in my life. As the sun sets, I give thanks for all the love, joy, and abundance that surrounds me. So mote it be.”

Place the paper in a special place where you’ll see it every day, and continue to cultivate a sense of gratitude in your daily life.

New Beginning Spell

If you’re looking to start fresh and begin a new chapter in your life, this spell is for you. As the sun sets, find a quiet spot outside and sit down with a piece of paper and a pen.

On the paper, write down anything you want to let go of or release. This could be negative thoughts, unhealthy habits, or anything else that’s no longer serving you.

Once you’ve finished your list, fold the paper and hold it in your hands.

Close your eyes and visualize all the things you’re letting go of disappearing into the sunset. As you do this, say the following words out loud:

“As the sun sets, I release all that no longer serves me. I am ready to embrace a new beginning filled with possibility and abundance. So mote it be.”

Tear the paper into small pieces and scatter them into the wind, symbolizing the release of the old and the welcoming of the new. This spell is perfect for letting go of the past and starting fresh.

Self-Care Spell

Sunset is the perfect time to take a few moments and practice self-care.

Find a quiet spot outside, and bring along a few items that nourish your soul. This could be a cozy blanket, a scented candle, or your favorite book.

As you settle in, take a few deep breaths and focus on the present moment. Allow yourself to fully relax and let go of any stress or anxiety. As you do this, say the following words out loud:

“As the sun sets, I take time to nourish my mind, body, and spirit. I am worthy of love and care. So mote it be.”

Allow yourself to fully indulge in your self-care ritual, and then give thanks for the opportunity to take care of yourself. This spell is perfect for incorporating self-care into your daily routine.

I hope these easy sunset spells bring a little extra magic to your life. Remember, the most important part of any spell is the intention behind it.

So trust in the power of your own words and allow the magic to unfold.

Blessed be!
