Using edible components is kitchen witchy, thrifty, discreet, and often safer than using non-edible ones. Plus you can make enchanted cupcakes and stuff.

There *is* some stuff that you see about each hour being ruled by the planets, and each planet dominates certain aspects. So, for instance, Venus rules matters of love and relationships and all that sappy stuff, right? So, doing a love spell would be best done on an hour that is ruled by Venus. It wouldn’t necessarily be specific to sunrise or sunset though – throughout the week cycle each hour is basically different and ruled by a different planet.
In astrological theory, not only the days of the week, but the hours of the day are dominated by the seven luminaries. If the first hour of a day is dominated by Saturn ( ♄ ), then the second hour is dominated by Jupiter ( ♃ ), the third by Mars ( ♂ ), and so on with the Sun ( ☉ ), Venus ( ♀ ), Mercury ( ☿ ), and the moon ( ☽ ), so that the sequence of planets repeats every seven hours. Therefore, the twenty-fifth hour, which is the first hour of the following day, is dominated by the Sun; the forty-ninth hour, which is the first hour of the next day, by the Moon. Thus, if a day is labelled by the planet which dominates its first hour, then Saturn’s day is followed by the Sun’s day, which is followed by the Moon’s day, and so forth, as shown below
That’s kind of a mess, though, and really damn hard to understand, so I found [this one] instead:
Note that the timing starts the hour from sunrise.
Space is fucking weird man.
I did also find this post: [Nighttime vs Daytime When Working Spells]. It does that stupid gender polarity thing though, the “feminine” vs “masculine” energies, if you can push past that… It’s also very heavily Wiccan flavored.
There is also [this image] that speaks about time of day in spellcraft:
DAWN At dawn, work spells for study, business, employment, healing, and travel. Perform rituals of purification and to bless new beginnings.
NOON At midday use the sun’s full energy while casting spells of strength, courage, protection, success, opportunity, and money issues.
DUSK At sunset cast spells for release, for letting go of illness, heartbreak, and failure, and to banish misery and pain. Perform rituals for breaking addictions and negative habits.
MIDNIGHT Night is the time to cast spells to enhance self development, for psychic dreams and awareness, divination, spirituality, love, peace, and for the healing of old wounds and releasing stress.
Here is [another image] that goes into the particulars of each hour:
1 a.m. – the first hour of a new day; focus is on the wholeness of self and the banishing of any shadows.
2 a.m. – ridding partnerships or relationships of negativity.
3 a.m. – determination, especially in matters that seem to hold you back.
4 a.m. – improved luck or victory over a specific set of deterring circumstances.
5 a.m. – encouraging growth of the psychic self.
6 a.m. – tenacity and perseverance, especially with something you have been putting off.
7 a.m. – hope, improved insight, and perspective.
8 a.m. – persona change aimed toward the conscious mind.
9 a.m. – assistance for others, focusing on concrete matters.
10 a.m. – improving personal convictions and resolutions.
11 a.m. – energy directed toward transformations which may have seemed inpossible.
2 p.m. – building relationships, encouraging understanding and love between people, and sexual symmetry. (Whatever the fuck THAT means.)
3 p.m. – balancing matters of the body, mind, and spirit.
4 p.m. – harmony of elements, sticking to schedules, and magick to accentuate goals.
5 p.m. – insight to the self, and communicating with spiritual guides.
6 p.m. – matters of safety, protection, and completion.
7 p.m. – diversity, blending or healing differences, and gentle care towards others.
8 p.m. – leadership, command, and guidance.
9 p.m. – comprehension of universal truth.
10 p.m. – improving the rational mind, sensibility, and clear mindedness.
11 p.m. – coping with drastic change in a positive manner.
12 a.m. – midnight; enhance self development, for psychic dreams and awareness, divination, spirituality, love, peace, and for the healing of old wounds and releasing stress.
I don’t know the sources of either of those images, as in where they got that information from, but it seems solid enough to me? Use at your discretion, I guess – practice and experiment and see how legit those are.
Also, [Time of Day for Spellcrafting], which says morning is good for awakening, new beginnings, fertility, and life direction; twilight is the time to perform spells for change, receptiveness, parenting, and moving between the worlds; and evening (which is somehow different from twilight?) is best for spells for camaraderie, spirituality, joy, pleasure, family gatherings, and children.
Yellow – Intellectual love, based on similar interests and communication.
Green – Marriage and family love; monogamous partners.
Blue – Dreamy, sensual, reckless love.
Violet – A love based more on imagined qualities than reality.
Gold – A protective love, somewhat possessive.
Silver – A very weak love, with clingy partners and issues with possession.
White – A loyal, but un-passionate love (this color can also be used as a substitute for other candle colors).
Black – A turbulent love with hidden aspects.
Brown – Not used in love magic.
