Shadow: Undismayed and Uninterrupted

You’ve begun the journey 

Don’t let interruptions distract you from the work ahead

This is where you reclaim your wild wholeness

Shadow work is an unending journey towards self-acceptance. It is wildly reclaiming the parts of yourself that sit in the dark recesses, waiting to be hugged, loved, and appreciated. Here’s the thing though, there needs to be a level of commitment to the journey ahead. Yes, there is a need to take breaks and have healthy boundaries, but shadow work isn’t something you can do well if you are doing it half-assed.  

It isn’t something you can rush, or foresee every scenario, feeling, or thought that will surface. Some things in the shadow are so deep within, that it is going to take time, patience, and a ritual to the task ahead in order to expose and integrate it back into your wild self. That is why I made this spread. As the middle tier within my Shadow Work spreads, this is a good option for sitting in the shadow, removing the distractions and interruptions, and not being dismayed by what comes forward. 

As the middle tier option, this 5-card spread is a manageable focus on the shadow work that you are doing while still getting to the heart of what needs to be reflected on in this space and time. When I was thinking of the name for this spread, I kept coming back to the movie and book Girl, Interrupted, which is one of my favorites. When we are interrupted from going deeper into the task at hand, like the girl in the infamous painting with her music or Susanna Kaysen going through her mental health journey, we don’t get very far. We also don’t get to be in the breadth of the experience. This spread is meant to place your shadow work front and center, without distractions to pull you away from what is coming forward.

I recommend this tarot spread if…..

• You have tried to do shadow work before, only to quit and leave before it gained any positive traction. 
• You want something that goes a little deeper than a surface entrance, but don’t feel ready for the full 9-card mammoth spread.
• You want/need some accountability and an ally as you do this work.
• Distractions have hindered the journey within in the past, and you wish to change that going forward. 
• You know that the only way out is through, but you need some help as you take the first, beautiful step.
