SHADOWS IN THE CAVE.
I’ve been shifting and transforming these past weeks, deep in the throws of death and rebirth, reaching inward to discover parts of me I didn’t know were there. I found a cave, empty and forlorn; the sun had never entered this space, it was never graced with love.
Shadow work is one hell of a process, one in which you take hold of Hekate’s flame and bravely enter the depths of your psyche; uncovering, shining light on and making peace with the darker aspects of yourself and of your life. Sometimes you do this actively, sometimes you are blindsided into this profound healing space.
The amazing nature of being triggered by external stimuli is that your head is turned and forced to bear witness to the dark places deeply hidden within. Pain I have been carrying demanding it was time to be looked at, a suffering I wasn’t consciously aware was there. I could not have named it nor sought it out before, it wasn’t ready to be seen.
I have only gained access to this cave through all the previous excavating I have done. Unable to discover its entrance until I cleared the rubble that lay before it. The cold dankness will slowly start to warm now I have an awareness of where I must build a fire; I shall spend time here, I shall seep love into its walls and whisper sweet nothings into the silence.
When the time is right I will light my torch from the fire yet again, and start to make my way into the dark unknown beyond. I wonder what is lurking out of sight, waiting to be unearthed.
The journey is not fun my loves, but it is so rewarding. If you want to dig a little deeper into your own shadows, pop me a message to see how I can assist you along the way.
