Shadow Work Prompts

Shadow Work Prompts

If you saw my earlier post about beginning shadow work and are looking to explore your shadow self through journaling, I’ve included some beginning prompts that can help you get started! If any of these prove difficult, I encourage you to spend some time thinking through the topic and perhaps exploring it outside of your practice.

Write a letter to someone who has hurt you.

What grudges are you holding onto? 

Who has helped you the most in your life?

What is your biggest insecurity? Biggest strength? 

How can you use your strengths to overcome your insecurities?

Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Why?

What is a habit you have always wanted to have?

Write about a recurring dream you have and try to analyze it. 

What careers/hobbies/activities draw you to them? Why? 

Write a letter to yourself 5 years ago. What would you tell yourself?

Write a letter to yourself 5 years in the future. What do you hope has changed?

Do you feel that you have a good support system?

What is something that would greatly improve your life if you had it? 

Do you consider yourself to be a jealous person? 

These are the prompts that helped me the most when I was beginning my shadow work. If you have more general questions about what shadow work is or why practitioners recommend it, be sure to check out my earlier post! 

As always, leave a comment if you have a prompt or practice that has helped you with your shadow work!

🎵 Music in Witchcraft 🎵

🎵 Music In Witchcraft 🎵

I love music. More and more, I have been including music in my practice of witchcraft, simply by having a song in the background while cleansing or making kitchen magic, and singing or humming particular melodies in the shower, when I perform a spell or a ritual, etc. If you’re interested in music witchcraft, here are a few ideas to get you started. 

🎵 Singing out loud is a really powerful practice that can help when performing difficult spells, or rituals that are energy-draining. 

🎵 If you’re uncomfortable with singing, humming a melody is a good alternative. I love humming a simple, happy song while cleansing my home.

🎵 Charge your crystals, magical items and plants with soothing, dramatic and strengthening music. 

🎵 If you can play any instrument, include them in your practice - by playing before, during or after your daily practice, for instance. 

🎵 Sound playlists have their own power, especially if you’re working with the 4 elements:

🌱 Earth: listen to forest and nature sounds

🔥 Fire: listen to fire crackling

🌪️ Air: listen to birds chirping

🌊 Water: listen to ocean sounds and waves

🎵 Make very specific playlists on Spotify ; e.g. “Songs to dance around in your room by yourself”, or “Songs to listen when you’re angry about the world”. Having songs that reflect your feelings will be incredibly useful and can make you feel less alone in your happiness / or in your pain. 

🎵 Bring back your inner child by listening to nostalgic playlists of songs that came out when you were 5, 10, 15 years old. 

Here’s a great Spotify playlist with witchy music, if you’re interested.

You know what I never understood about people? Their intense fear of death while autumn being their favourite season. Autumn literally shows us how natural death is and how beautiful it can be. Each leaf served a purpose and falls to lay to rest. Out of the decay forms new life.
