Deity, Entity, and Self Letter Interaction ~ Shadow Self
My letter interaction post. Figured I'll make some of these as they come. Photo from Burst Free Stock Photo ~ Sunflower 🌻❤️
So last night I ended up writing to my shadow self and Asmodeus. This post will focus on my shadow self. But before that, I did a reading to figure who to write to. The deck I used is the Season of the Witch: Samhain Edition since this deck seemed a perfect time to use it.
The first card was the Greet the Darkness card which describes it as the shadow self and being able to greet that part of you. Like my previous post from the new moon, this could be a start to incorporating my shadow self with me.
So I'll be honest. I wasn't sure how to start the letter. I have written to my inner child and inner teen before to get a better understanding. But I looked back at the card and "Greet the Darkness" again. So what did I do? Greet my shadow self.
So I played the same song I used when I wrote to my inner child and inner teen self. Love like you. I took a moment to discuss my understanding. How I knew certain things I acted out was to protect me in the shadow self way.
I also meditated during it. Which helped me see a shadow version of me. It did look like a shadow but there was some red wisps around. It reminded me of anger. But just faintly around. So I took a moment to focus on an incident where my shadow self acted out and I explained how she acted in a way to protect and was due to the trauma. The shadow self I saw open her eyes and saw blue eyes looking back very sky blue eyes.
While I understood this would not be the last letter nor the last time I spoke with my shadow self, I offered to start working together. To start being able to balance each other. And I felt good about reaching out. And as I signed off, I felt my chest lighten and felt content.
