Your Solar Eclipse Survival Spellbook

April 8’s Solar Eclipse in Aries isn’t here to play.
It’s here to rip through your ego like a holy wildfire and leave only what matters: your true, unshakable self.

Sound intense? Good.
Because this energy is a cosmic reboot, and only witches ready to level the hell up should come to the altar.

🌑 What Is a Solar Eclipse… and Why Should I Care?

Solar eclipses are new moons on steroids.
They mark endings, beginnings, revelations, and erasures—often all at once. And when it lands in Aries, the sign of bold action, identity, and independence?

You get a full-scale witchcraft initiation by fire.

This is the universe saying:

“Burn the mask. Burn the script. Burn the ‘good girl’ story.
Who the fuck are you when no one’s watching?”

🔥 What to Do (and NOT Do) Under a Solar Eclipse

Eclipse energy is wild and unpredictable, so don’t go casting 12-step manifestation rituals or trying to “manifest peace.”
Peace comes after the fire, babe.

🚫 Don’t:

  • Cast complex intention or attraction spells

  • Try to manifest something cute & comfortable

  • Obsess over what others are doing

  • Lie to yourself about what’s working

✅ Do:

  • Burn down false identities

  • Cut ties with old narratives

  • Call your power back from places, people, and roles you’ve outgrown

  • Protect what matters. Release the rest.

🧨 Solar Eclipse Ritual: Identity Reclamation

You don’t need anything fancy—just fire, focus, and truth.

You’ll need:
🕯️ 1 black candle (banishment)
🕯️ 1 red or gold candle (power/identity)
🖤 Paper + pen
🔥 Fire-safe bowl
🌑 Your whole ass self

Do this:

  1. Write out the masks you’ve worn, the stories you’re done living.

  2. Light the black candle. Burn the paper.

  3. Light the red/gold candle. Say:

    “I reclaim myself. I rebuild with fire. I rise with truth.”

  4. Sit in silence. Feel what’s left. That’s the real you.

🧿 Eclipse Witchcraft Tools

Crystals:

  • Garnet (identity & strength)

Prep Tip:
Clean your space before the eclipse. Clean your phone. Clean your damn energy. The eclipse is coming to do a factory reset—make room.

💀 Final Words

You do not have to be perfect.
You do not have to be peaceful.
You do not have to be pretty while you burn.

This is your moment to say:
“I’m done being who the world told me to be.”

Burn it.
Bury it.
Build it better.

The eclipse will meet you halfway.

🌑🔥 Blessed Solar Eclipse, witch.
