As eclipse season draws to a close, the shadows that stirred within us begin to soften, making way for light and clarity once more. The storms of transformation may have felt unsettling, but they often reveal truths we cannot ignore. This is a sacred moment to release the weight of what’s been uncovered and to welcome the clear skies ahead with intention, protection, and renewed vision.
Purpose: To release the shadows stirred by eclipse season and welcome clarity, peace, and renewed vision.
1. Gather Your Tools
- A small lantern, jar, or clear glass bowl.
- White candle (clarity), black candle (release).
- A piece of obsidian or smoky quartz (absorbs residual eclipse energy).
- Fresh herbs: rosemary (cleansing) and mint (clarity).
- A slip of paper and pen.
2. Set the Space
- Place the black candle to your left, the white candle to your right.
- Herbs and crystal in front of you, lantern or jar at the center.
- Cleanse with smoke or saltwater, whispering: “The storm passes. The light returns.”
3. Dual Flame Invocation
- Light the black candle first, saying:
“I honor the shadows and the lessons they brought.” - Light the white candle second, saying:
“I now welcome clarity, peace, and renewed vision.”
4. Paper Spell
- On the paper, write one shadow or challenge that surfaced during eclipse season.
- On the other side, write what clarity or blessing you now choose to embrace.
- Fold and place it into the lantern or jar with the herbs and crystal.
5. Lantern of Clarity
- Hold the lantern/jar to your heart.
- Say:
“Eclipse season closes, and I walk forward clear and strong. The shadows fade, and the light guides me on.” - Extinguish the black candle first (release), then let the white candle burn safely until finished (clarity remains).
6. Closing & Grounding
- Place the lantern/jar on your altar or windowsill for 7 nights as a charm.
- Afterward, return the herbs to the earth and carry the crystal with you as a talisman.
With the eclipse season now behind us, we step forward lighter, clearer, and more aligned with our path. The shadows have been acknowledged, the lessons embraced, and the light restored. Carry this clarity with you as a lantern in the dark, guiding your steps through the cycles ahead. The sky has cleared—now is the time to create, to grow, and to walk in harmony with your renewed vision.
Blessed be!
