Shadow Magic: Unlocking the Whole Witch Within

Magic includes more than happiness or striving for a life with only sunny disposition. There is much that can be gleaned and to offer from our darkest days and low points. Author Nikki Van de Car will show the reader the magical potential unique to these moments — what is described as the shadow. Rather than looking to suppress it, she calls to embrace and embody energy at its fullest. It explores the very concept of “shadow”, drawing from Jungian concepts, looking at that which we observe but often ignore. The book covers application with different metaphysical practices, such as sigil magic and symbology, tarot, candle magic, and dream interpretation. Each section contains there spells to use in combination — one for creativity, another for intuition, and the last for self-love. Through this all Van de Car shares profiles of witches and women throughout history that have embraced the concept of the shadow, notably when it wasn’t the most popular thing to do within witchcraft circles.
