Shadow Work · five positions
What's been waiting
in the dark.
An inward-facing spread for the parts of you you've been quieter about. Not to fix or banish, but to meet. Five positions trace what is hidden, why, how it appears, where to begin, and what becomes possible on the other side.
A note on this spread: it is gentle by design. It assumes the parts of you you've kept quieter were once protective, and that integration, not eradication, is the work. If a question feels too tender today, choose another spread or come back when you're ready.
