Shadow-work
« on: November 08, 2014, 02:58:02 pm »
Hello.


It was suggested to me recently that astrologically, I may have a gift for working with and helping others with their shadows, the wounded selves.


My experience lies in stars and tarot cards; only recently have I begun exploring the possibilities of stones, I Ching, and runes.

Could anyone point me in the direction of good books or links, or personally may have knowledge of shadow-workings? Since it is shadow-working, I'd rather be slightly more cautious than jump in with whatever I find first.


Thank you!

I dont know much but from my experience you do need a magical tool like a wand or a ring or an amulet.
Obsidian works well.
Hope that helps.

I'm not nearly as organized and articulate as the authors above, but please do feel free to ask me anything about it. :)

There's a tarot book designed precisely for that purpose: Tarot Shadow Work by Christine Jette. My mum owns it and quite likes it. I can't speak personally on the matter since I'm not overly familiar with the subject.

It might take me awhile to come up with something to ask you. This is good - this is a lot of take in at once so I'll be going through this gradually, but it looks like what I was asking for. :)

The only resource that comes to mind is In the Shadow of 13 Moons which discusses working with the new moon and incorporates shadow work with it.

Hope that helps.
