Include objects that represent the sun, fire, and growth:

  • Crystals – Sunstone, Citrine, Carnelian, Tiger’s Eye.
  • Candles – Yellow, gold, or orange to symbolize solar energy.

  • Herbs – Rosemary, basil, and lavender for prosperity and protection.

Step 4: Activate Your Altar

  • Light a candle and state your solstice intention.
  • Meditate near your altar to absorb its energy.
  • Offer gratitude to the sun and the season6.
