In preparation for the upcoming total solar eclipse this episode is all about the magic and wonder of solar eclipses. Though typically spellwork is not recommended during an eclipse we talk about the themes regarding shadow work and re-emerging from the underworld. I share a pre-eclipse ritual and sun/moon offering you can do to honor these themes. Happy eclipse! We will be on spring break now but will be back with a new episode after the summer solstice in June!
