⋆I know I’ve been a ghost myself around here this year but I’m back to bring you 31 Days Of Samhain 2020. (Yes a bit late plz forgib meeee!) Each year we like to change it up and for this year we wanted to focus on our shadows. Each day we will have a Hatchling share a story about their shadows with us. Positions for sharing a story within 31DOS are still available so please message #31DOS2020 we will discuss what your shadow may look like and provide some examples of personal, community and global shadows may look like.⋆

:japanese_ogre: Are You Afraid? :dragon_face:

✯Do You Avoid Your Shadows?✯

✼ •• ┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈ •• ✼

⋆For longer than you may realize our shadows have been suppressed and demonized. Anything considered negative, dark or shadowy in nature was condemned as evil. However the law of polarity states that there must be balance. An equal and opposite reaction for any action taken. We cannot have day without night. Are you afraid of what lurks within your own darkness? This year we want to crack that fear open, reclaim our shadows for the parts of us that they are and take our full power back going into this new year.⋆

:skull: Sometimes It’s Ugly :ghost:

✯Healing Is The Hardest Part✯

✼ •• ┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈ •• ✼

⋆Some shadows we have naturally but the ugliest ones come from experiences we have created for ourselves. Shadow Work isn’t about dwelling in the darkness and being edgy or different. It brutal painstaking labor that you have to will yourself through sometimes. We cannot stop shadows from being created but we can stop them from consciously or subconsciously controlling our lives. The power of your will is magick. It may not be perfect but nothing is here. Embrace your will to change your life and watch where it could take you. Healing is hard, messy and ugly. Please be kind to yourself.⋆

:new_moon: What Are Shadows🖤

✯Examples Of Manifested Shadows✯

✼ •• ┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ୨˚୧ ⋯⋅๑┈┈┈ •• ✼

⋆You may not be entirely sure what Shadows are or perhaps the specific context we are referring to them in. They can be anywhere from a toxic behavior trait in an individual to a systemic societal issues that devastates the planet like human greed. The way to know a shadow actively influences your negatively is how it makes you feel when you are faced with it. Do you panic or sit with what troubles you? Do you do what you can to break down beliefs, actions and behaviors you have that contribute to global suffering or do you do what you want anyway? Shadows most commonly manifest themselves in mental illness, substance abuse, self neglect and violence. you can only do Shadow Work for yourself.⋆
