Shadow work is exploring your unconscious, suppressed, or uncomfortable parts of yourself that you would usually run away from, ignore, or aren’t aware of entirely. The purpose of this reading it to help you get some idea of where to start. I hope this helps you.

Take a moment to relax, breath, and calm your mind before letting yourself be drawn to a card.

From top left to bottom right the cards are ordered 1-4

#1 Let Go

🖤🧹 Enter the darkness and release what needs releasing. Shadow work is uncovering what’s been hidden in the dark, what we’ve been avoiding for the sake of comfort… but this hinders our growth. There’s plenty of frightening feelings to encounter in the dark recesses of our being, yes. Plenty of painful memories as well. But also there’s beauty, hidden talents and gifts waiting to be discovered by you. You must be open to the unknown and face any feelings or memories of guilt, shame, resentment and regret. Once you are staring at your traumas, seeing them for what they are you can now heal what needs healing, clear away what you no longer need, sweep away old patterns of thinking that only serve to hinder your growth, and make way for something new and positive. This was the only reading to have two cards come out. And it’s the only reading without a specific issue, I believe this indicates you have more than a few repressed traumas and feelings that you aren’t aware of. As well as I get the feeling some of you do know but are holding on to them so tight, maybe you’re afraid of letting go, or you maybe the memories won’t let you go. Your shadow work is about facing your demons, getting those skeletons out of your closet, and also discovering more about yourself. It’s about you cleaning and clearing!! Not just spiritually and mentally, but physically as well!! In your home, de cluttering your home, and any other aspects in your life that need changing. A old job that makes you miserable?! A toxic or unfulfilling relationship!? Bad habits that make you feel sick!? It’s time to release the old, journey into the darkness of yourself, and come out anew!! 🌱

#2 Cry

🩸Someone break your heart!? Still suffering!? Someone betray you!? And you’ve never let it go!? There’s a comfort in holding onto the pain of what someone’s done to us, there’s a sense of peace in hating someone for hurting you, leaving you… broken and full of heartache. It’s okay to shed tears, it’s okay to let yourself feel that anguish. For some of you this heartache isn’t about a person who’s wronged you, for some of you it’s about loss… Some of you have lost someone dear to you and you may be grieving heavily, May blame yourself, the world, or god. Your shadow work is to free yourself of this pain. Letting go is not easy by any means. It’s not easy to let go of someone we loved, cared for, depended on, and planned our future with. We intertwine our destinies with people we love, and when they are taken from us, when they leave. We feel abandoned and have to erase the connection we had with them if we’ve broken up, and rewrite the future we envisioned with them. Everything reminds us, everything hurts us, Your world is no longer your world anymore and you’re miserable. But it’s okay, cry and accept this is your present!! Do not look backwards at what used to be and realize what is now, be in the moment and those tears will dry, as you’ve shed your last tear for this person/situation that you will shed. And you’ll look back and it won’t be something that haunts you any longer 🌤

#3 Goddess

🌹 It’s time for you to truly see yourself for who you really are, and goddess Freya is going to help you with it. Freya is the Norse goddess of Love and War!! She’s assisting you with your journey into loving yourself like the god/goddess you truly are. Your self worth may have been something you’ve struggled with for a long time. You may have struggled with feelings of guilt or shame, or like you aren’t deserving of love, abundance, or happiness. Or maybe you think someone like you just could never have such things. This is a call for you to embrace all that life has to give you. Open up and let yourself have all that you are deserving of. Like her symbol, honey!! It’s suggested you taste the sweetness of the world. Know that Freya is a powerful goddess!! Reminding you of your own power, reminding you that you do have the strength to win your battles and war!! Connect to your wildness, be true to your heart and know what your essence is divine!! 🌙

#4 Shine

The Tuvans are a Turkic ethnic group living in southern Siberia.

Alongside Tibetan Buddhism, Tuvans practice a traditional form of Tengrism - a religion based in shamanism, animism, and ancestor worship. In Tengriism, the meaning of life is seen as living in harmony with the surrounding world. They believe there is no “one true religion” as humanity has not reached full enlightenment yet. That all humans are weak, and therefore shortcomings should be tolerated
