@ember.rebel.mystic: There’s something missing from most “how to do shadow work” advice, and it’s not another damn journal prompt. I think part of the problem is that we’ve turned shadow work into this thing that every beginner witch is supposedly required to do, even though nobody seems to agree on what the hell it actually is. Looking at your beliefs, your biases, your ethics, why you believe what you believe, and how all of that affects your witchcraft practice? That’s useful. I think we should be doing that stuff. But that is very different from somebody on TikTok telling you to start digging into your childhood trauma because apparently that’s also “shadow work” now. You don’t need to prove how serious you are about witchcraft by digging up shit you aren’t equipped to deal with by yourself. So if you’re searching for how to do shadow work as a beginner, figure out what the person giving you that advice actually means by “shadow work” first. Because self-reflection and unpacking trauma are not the same damn thing. #CreatorSearchInsights #ShadowWorkForBeginner #CarlJungShadowWorkConcepts #BeginnerWitchcraft #WitchcraftExplained
