Liberate yourself with this simple and inspiring solar eclipse ritual.
A solar eclipse is an opportunity to break old chains, step out of old patterns, and fly free into beautiful new paradigms.
Here’s an elegantly simple solar eclipse ritual to supercharge the blessings of this powerful time. It will help you release the old, embrace the new, and set your soul free.
It’s best to do this ritual as close to the moment of the solar eclipse as possible.
Ingredients:
One gray votive candle (with holder if it’s not in a jar already)
One white votive candle (with holder if it’s not in a jar already)
Lighter or matches

A few minutes before the eclipse, sit comfortably and center yourself. Place the gray candle on your altar or a flat surface in front of you. Feel that it represents old heaviness and stuck energy in your life, as well as anything you no longer want, and anything that no longer serves or defines you.
At the moment of the eclipse, blow the gray candle out. Feel and sense that all power and momentum has been removed from these things in your life. Just for this moment, release all worries and fears. Release the sense that any of this old stuff has any power over you. Tap into a deep sense of inner stillness, quiet, and calm.
After a minute or so, remove the gray candle from your altar and replace it with the white one.
Light the white candle, which represents personal freedom and infinite joy. As it burns, imagine rainbow sparkles showering down on you, filling you with the energy of luck and new beginnings. Feel the euphoria and lightness of experiencing your most beautiful vision for your life. Feel as if it’s already 100% present and real. And feel gratitude.
Allow this candle to continue to burn for as long as you can keep an eye on it for the purpose of fire safety. As it burns, it would be a good idea to engage in self-loving activities such as dancing, baking, taking a bath, relaxing with a book, journaling, painting, or anything else you really love to do.
When it’s good and cool, remove the gray candle from the holder and throw it away.

Didn’t have anything planned and did this today. Thank you for such a simple process. I also shared it in my Feed Her Soul Tribe Facebook group!

Awesome. Thanks, Ro!
Hi Tess!
I have to work during the eclipse but I would really like to perform this ritual. Can I do it the morning of the eclipse? Which will be several hours before it begins. Or can I do the first part with the black candle in the morning and the second part with the white candle at night when I return home?
Thanks!
Ana
I was going to ask this same question!
Hi Kaylee! Yes, as I mentioned to Ana, doing it in two parts sounds like an excellent idea.
Yes: I love the first part in the morning, second when you return idea!
Should the lighting of the first candle be when the eclipse first begins or closet to when it’s in it’s totality?
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for reading! The lighting of the first candle happens a few minutes before the eclipse. Then blow it out during the eclipse. The second candle is for after the eclipse is over.
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this!
