Crystals for Shadow Work

It’s been a powerful year – release and regeneration have been the themes of 2018. In the process, many relationships, ways of being, communication styles, and other ingrained situations and habits have been considered, upended, and ultimately reformed or released entirely.

One consistency in all of this is that those things that have buried deep in our psyches have continued to come up in our lives – the stories, traumas, conditioning, worries, doubts, and secrets that we have tried so hard to push down keep rising for our examination. For those souls who haven’t been working continually to resolve lingering wounds, these issues are likely to have risen in an even more dramatic way, forcing heavy review. And as we prepare to head into Scorpio at the end of October, which rules the house of death and rebirth, those things that haven’t yet been addressed are likely to rise again for clearing.

How to Work with Obsidian

by Krista Mitchell (Original Source)

How To Work With Black Obsidian blog poster.jpg
Obsidian is a powerful crystal that supports shadow self healing, psychic protection from the dark arts, and increases psychic sight. Here’s how to work with it.

Meditate with it:

while working with your shadow self and to engage with your shadow
to overcome limiting beliefs, underlying commitments
to bring old wounds, fears, shame, denial to the surface
to resolve and release old beliefs and conditioning

Use it in crystal therapy:

to understand your shadow self and all the personal power that’s held within your shadow
in addition to working with a coach, therapist etc while making self improvements
to let go of all that no longer serves you
to understand the power of nighttime, altar of Hecate

Wear it daily:

as a protection amulet or to create a psychic shield around you
if you are being hit with witchcraft, dark energy from someone else as it will also repel other’s shadow
to create a shield around you as it is a very powerful self protection crystal often referred to as the witch’s stone
do not sleep with it as it can create disturbing sleeping patterns and keep you engaged with your shadow self and keep bringing up shadow stuff
while in therapeutic situations such as meditation, journaling, or while in rituals

CRYSTALS FOR VENUS RETROGRADE 2018

Venus goes retrograde from October 5th (in Scorpio) to November 15th (in Libra) and promises to be a deep dive into our inner selves, our hearts, psyches, and relationships.

Venus (aka. Inanna in Sumerian mythology) in retrograde is an archetypal story of descent into the underworld, death, and rebirth or resurrection. She descends in the sky as the evening star, before going invisible, re-emerging some time after as the morning star.

It’s a beautiful journey of self-discovery, getting clear on who you are and what you truly, deeply want, healing and letting go, and then resurfacing, having more fully reclaimed your authenticity and power. Especially when it comes to relationships and pursuing your heart’s true desires.

Astrorisa Moon Forecast: Aries / Ogun Moon Aspects 9/24/2018

SEPTEMBER’S HARVEST MOON TIME

Hello Moon Followers and Subscribers!

from the Aries ~Ogun full moon report

“This is an illuminating moon time. A lot of self-discovery and revelations on many levels will occur. Aries, the archetype of Ogun rules this moon and Libra, the archetype of Oshun rules this sun during this lunation season. This is a strong moon time for many forms of expansion both positive and negative. With both sun and moon at 2° Aries / Libra, this can be a money making moon time for many, as a lot of opportunities will be presented. This is also a moon time which points towards relationship matters. Some people will gain easy access to minor and major success, while others will be presented with an opportunity to shine but they’ll have to work hard to see its completion. This moon time speaks of time being wasted by our own actions and the actions of others. It’s important to focus on what is most important and to prioritize our time and commitment…”

ARIES FULL MOON 2018 CRYSTALS + MY MAGICAL SPIN

By Krista Mitchell

Full moons are always phases of power, and it seems that the cosmos is constantly aligning in favor of us facing things, giving up things, engaging in deep healing, and catalyzing significant change.

Given the state of the world this isn’t surprising. Even yesterday I was teaching in class about Nature’s healing principle – nature’s impulse is always to heal.

And yet, as I was reading through astrology blogs to write this article, about Aries’ impatience and aggression, Chiron’s deep, archetypal wounding, and this moon that is going to engage us in facing our darkness and childhood sore spots, all I could think was “Ugh. I don’t want to write about this”.
