This really great video I have just watched after looking online with the words shadow work. I think exemplifies it the best:

Projection: everything is a reflection like a mirror. We are putting out the most of what we dislike within ourself. As we see it more easily and it bothers us in others.

Emotional Triggers: triggers are our best friend. As they often can help us understand where pieces of trauma are still affecting us.

Repeating Patterns: often we need a lesson to be learned and It takes many times until we learn specific lessons. What things are showing up again and again, we lose ourselves in a relationship... We take jobs that demand more than we want to give.etc.

Introspection (this is my favorite cuz it's more up to you) : journaling with these questions....

What parts of yourself do you dislike?

What parts of yourself do you judge?

What parts of self do you fear?

How I integrate... Using meditation and body scans. Definitely helps to keep a journal, I recently got 5 for different things. And I've been using most of them. I also use my tarot readings on self to give me intuition and insight on how to dive deeper.

Lastly just really being present and aware of how I, would have in the past attached meanings to feelings and let those feelings take hold within. Now I try and realize what those feelings are showing me that I need to work on.being able to work through aspects of shadow just as if it were breathe( also doing breathwork helps) INHALE the good shit, EXHALE the bullshit.

And of course. Some people have a difficult time with consistency and building routine. So I try not to beat myself up if I don't stay on task or on discipline as it is such a busy go-go-go work we live in. Just being aware of intention to do what I can in the time I am giving myself is key.

Recently I experienced a lucid dream. I went into a bathroom as I was looking at myself in the mirror I noticed my tattoo on my left forearm was missing and realized in this dream reality I had a different tattoo on my right arm. Very peculiar.. as my awareness shifted I became the player in my very own video game. I was me, but not me. I went on this journey and it felt like I wasn't all there mostly true. One of the last things I remember was entering into a crack den where all inside were hive minded husk people attached to their chairs trapped in their state of mind. I yelled "everybody TRY DMT!!!" And walked out. The big Don of the place came rambling after me to get out or die. Seems I exited onto the street and died by motor vehicle manslaughter what a way to wake up.

tarot journey

I have taken it upon myself to try my hand at tarot card readings. And I have been pleasantly surprised, I had read a book about it, and in the past dabbled with online digital tarot that I kinda found some interest in, but of course there is nothing like seeing is believing. And let me tell you.  I got myself a nice deck because I knew all my life I had a connection to cards. Not magic cards per say, and my parents tried to bolster my playing card collection with various unique decks over the years... but I never used them and I don’t have any affinity for playing card games, like poker, 21, and other games of the like. At best I enjoyed the game BS, War, and I really enjoyed spider solitaire, on the computer, where it would give a cool animation after you’d won. Still nothing in the physical world connected me to cards, and their suites.. However I knew that my life direction sent me into the spiritual realm of things, and out came this very nice dreamweaver tarot deck. I enjoy the aesthetic of things, as I did with the various collected decks of regular playing cards. BUT these cards held a different power. a seemingly rare sense of insight and bound by their meaning to each respective dealer. I opened the pack after some shipment time patiently awaiting. Having read a book while I did so, somewhat afraid that if and when they came I might have lost interest and desire to get into this hobby... I new right when i flipped my first card over, and saw the detail in extensively crafted quality, that these did have a place in my home. I found myself already feeling integrated with my spiritual path. It is fascinating how things can call to you, from a computer screen, and when they jump onto the physical reality its almost similar but something tangible that you can touch feel and examine from all sides, makes it more real... Thus I became more in tune with myself and where I am at day to day, can be informed by consulting the cards. I had to wrap my ego around how I would feel telling my closest friends and family members, yeah I use tarot cards, as if it’s something taboo or weird or wooey-dooey... However nothing is ever as it seems. AND the feeling I get handling those cards, is putting me back into my kid self looking at my deck of regular playing cards as a kid, the vast collection of sets I had collected, but never “connected” with.  Now I am guided by a new intuition and sense of urgency... and it says “Listen, Don’t wait, THIS is for you. Don’t be late, as you have much to learn, and much to see, and many things to teach and many things to be.”  So done I say with the old self as I look to receive the rewards of walking along this new path. Regardless of thought forms that surround my mental state, being in the present and knowing, feeling what calls to me, and looking to understand it, is all what drives me.

metaphysical manifestation materialized

I have been tested, I am being tested, I will continue to be tested. I am not a victim, I caste out playing the sympathy card, no more pity parties. I do what thou wilt, and ask for what I want, for I shall receive it. I am making my own way, paving my own path, trudging thru the darkness within I welcome the new embrace of seeing my face transformed with my grace. Smile, and all shall be revealed one day at a time, slow but steady. We move, groove and glide, touch down and stride, never hide, always die from the fight inside, to kill a piece of ourselves is to know what you no longer are. To be reborn, and to live again, be transformed in the face of our sin. Do not give in to temptation but delivery of justice is your aim, your goal is to gain, and stay on the path of righteousness and glory to seek higher sights and greater victories, your soul will now peace and you will have piece of mind in forgiveness. All is not lost, just waiting to be found. -me

My Death Witch/Spirit Worker Masterpost

Hey everyone! This is my list of resources I have made over the course of the existence of this blog, pertaining specifically to death witchcraft and spirit work. (EDIT: I also added divination because it is such a vital part of my own practice) I hope it helps some of you, and provides a resource for you to use! I’ve also thrown in my death work stuff as well. These posts are all mine, coming from separate blogs at times ( @shipping-the-gods , @the-daily-diviner, and @tarnished-headstone (@witchthatiam/@lonesome-bones are the names of this blog from a while ago)); none of these blogs are active. The only blogs I am active on are @shroud-of-roses and @breathing-in-gilded-dust (dodekatheism blog). 

Please note you can do these three practices individually, I just choose to put them together for my own personal practice! Pick what you like and use it if you desire.  

Thanks, 

Olivia

I have been trying to induce an out of body experience. This article seems to have a few more resources to check it and it's pretty recent. Interesting to note I was curious about finding a udio that would be helpful and this article weren't seems to have some suggestions.

I was unsuccessful when I tried this morning but I felt I was getting very close. I could tell my body was relaxed and in a trance like state and I was focusing on my astral body coming out of my physical body.

I felt. A very strange sensation of vibration that came with my intention. Ive read that the part right before the separation can be daunting as the hear rate increases and the body feels a lot of energy manifesting. Which is what I believe I was experiencing.

I am determined to induce an astral projection as I feel that I have experienced it before and wish to confirm if these techniques are actually possible. It is a fascinating subject, and for me seeing is believing or experiencing is knowing. The truth exists in many forms, but which may be the absolute truth only stands the test of time.

Programing Your Crystals

We’ve all heard this before, Right?

“Program your crystal to blah blah blah” 

When giving advise to beginner practitioners sometimes we forget to stop and explain what it means to even program a crystal. In short, You are infusing it with intention. A Goal, A Desire. You are infusing a crystal to amplify that intention and desire, And to hopefully achieve it. 

The way you do this is simple. 

1. Cleanse your Crystal - This is the most important step. Cleanse. Your. Crystal. Yourself. Use herb smoke, Energy work, Sunlight, Moonlight, Prayer, What ever works for YOU. 

2. Cleanse Yourself - This is equally as important as cleansing your crystal because you want to be in a clear calm state. You don’t want any outside forces influencing your work. 

3. Once you are clear with your intention and desire hold your crystal in your hands. Visualize what you want, Speak aloud or in your thoughts. Be Clear. Be repetitive. Feel it. 

4. Feel the energy and warmth leaving your hands, And entering the crystal. Make it yours, And fill it with your desire. 

5. Continue these steps until you feel the crystal has fully absorbed all the vibrational energy. 

That’s all! The crystal will now hold your intention, And will amplify your attract your desire. 

(To reverse this process, Do the same steps with intention of cleansing and release the energy.)

Q? - What is the Meaning of life

The meaning of life is to discover your purpose on earth. Here in this reality, we are focused on the physical aspect of life. Some spiritual and religious teachings teach about ways to interact with the meta-phyiscal and mystical aspect of reality. The aspect of life that there is more than meets the eye. Personally. I have found very much meaning in the connection that i am exploring between my mind-body-soul complex and the experiences I've had on pyschadelics lead me to believe that there are more realms than ours. We are only capable of seeing a finite amount of the vast-ness of our universe. So in conclusion. "To understand the meaning of life. You must think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." -nikola tesla
