Welcome to my alchemical Detox SAUCE + FLOSS Ritual.
I crafted this ritual in preparation for the April 8, 2024 eclipse, but you can cast it anytime you need some supernatural support in:
traversing life’s shadowlands,
navigating an unexpected plot twist in your personal or professional life,
tests of inner and outer strength,
reassessing your priorities and catalyzing a healthy mindset shift,
accessing bold opinions, healthy aggression, and/or the vital life force, and
performing other heroic spiritual feats.
(And, for the writers in my audience—you just might find yourself penning your Next Great Poem/Story/Essay in the process!)
According to revolutionary astrologer Chani Nicholas, the solar eclipse in Aries on April 8th is a flash point for shake-ups, surprises, and synchronicities, sparking plot twists around issues of personal agency and relationships.
Aries is the sign heroic feats, tests of inner and outer strength, and sharpening our swords against the whetstone of life’s challenges.
The eclipse amplifies the adrenaline rush of Aries, rallying our bravest selves to the forefront.
Simultaneously, also on April 8th, Chiron will cazimi with the sun—a purifying state that supercharges this wounded healer, causing our deep wounds and self-limiting fears to rise to the surface. Suddenly, when we are already ramped up by Aries and traversing the shadowlands of eclipse season, we will become painfully aware of any areas where we’ve stifled our bold opinions, healthy aggression, or vital life force.
My Detox SAUCE + FLOSS ritual is infused with all of this magic, AND MORE!
I originally crafted this as a pre-detox ritual to help myself prepare for the eclipse. I’d gone past the Point Of No Return at least half a dozen times from January 2023 to April 2024—and each time I thought the Point Of No Return would arrive in ALL CAPS in NEON LIGHTS but each time it snuck up on me and I didn’t realize I had passed the Point Of No Return until it was behind me in the distance, and I could barely see it over my shoulder—so I created this ritual because I wanted, for once, to get ahead of the Point Of No Return, or, at least, cross it with a well-stocked magical toolkit.
My Detox Ritual includes four 20-minute phases, spaced out over 3 days, for about 2 hours total investment. You’ll bask in the energy generated by this ritual for 6 months, which is approximately the time between solar eclipses and ample time to generate lasting change.
And remember, if you’re short on time or an ingredient, it’s okay to skip it or to substitute or really just spin the whole thing in a direction that feels even better for you.
This ritual is just a jumping off point.
