This week in magick!

Greetings, Magickal Souls!

Welcome to another wonderful edition! I hope if you are stressed about next weeks holiday you are able to find peace and gratitude around you.

My gratitude, besides having all of you, is that Friday I am heading up north! My hometown is doing a Gilmore Girls event, so my hometown is becoming my favorite fictional town and I cannot be anymore excited!

Sage Advice: Shadow Work

Shadow is the parts we deny, hide or reject about ourselves.

It’s called the shadow because it hasn’t been captured by the light of our consciousness.

Exploring your shadow can lead to greater authenticity, internal strength, creativity, increased energy, and a more profound sense of awakening. It is is essential for anyone seeking self-knowledge and psychological growth.

What is Shadow Work?

The intention of shadow work is to bring the suppressed personality parts back into our consciousness and learn to accept and love them.

Through different practices we can integrate the parts that got split off earlier in our lives back into our psyches and become ‘whole’ beings.

Ways Your Shadow Shows Itself?

  • Jealousy

  • Addiction

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Codependency

  • Creating or being part of a lot of drama

  • Self-sabotage

  • Power struggles

  • Lies

  • Procrastination

  • Resentment

  • Passive-aggressiveness

  • Bitterness

  • Aggression, anger and rage

  • Violent behaviors and abuse

  • Victimization 

  • Guilt and shame

  • Reactive

  • Discontentment

Your shadow will control your life and keep presenting you with uncomfortable opportunities to integrate it. Because we can’t heal what we don’t see or feel - and so it will keep causing challenges for you, make you and others miserable and sick.

Best Practices to Do Shadow Work?

  • Watch your emotional reactions

  • Observe your reactions

  • Challenge the good/bad part

  • Daily journaling:

    • Morning Pages

    • Expressive Writing

    • Shadow Questions

  • Engage in inner dialogue: mediation

  • Dream analysis

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Night Sky: New Moon!

The moment of new moon will fall at 12:47 a.m. CST. New moons rise and set with the sun. Nights around the new moon are perfect for stargazing, and this one is near the peak of the Leonid meteor shower. Plus, this is the second – and farthest – of three new micromoons – or most distant new moons – in 2025. .

Adopt Your Next Familiar

Miles is a tall, lanky dark-orange sweetheart who loves people and purrs the moment you say hello. Found as a stray, he's proven to be incredibly gentle, affectionate, and social - he has been comfortable with both cats and dogs.

Miles is FIV+, but that just means he'll need a little extra care and an indoor life. With good food and regular vet visits, FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives.

If you're looking for a loving, easygoing companion who adores attention and will fill your home with purrs, come meet Miles!
