Intro into Kali
Wild, naked, her tongue sticking out—an uncomfortable, feral image of force, bursting sheer power. She wears the most gorgeous jewelry—ornate bracelets and necklaces, and some amazing elephant-shaped earrings.

Well, Hello! Odin.
As some of my readers know, I started back into my practice slowly.

Jord also, let me know in her subtle yet kind way that she was also looking to be acknowledged. She is my humble Matron. Now with all this Femininity there is someone who has been very insistent that I acknowledge HIS presence lately.

Shadow Work: What is it and why is it needed in your practice?
The shadow self – sometimes simply called our shadow – is the unconscious part of the brain, which drives a large amount of our behavior. Automatic responses to triggers, deep-seated habits, and emotional patterns “live” in this shadow self. What is the Shadow Self, like really what is it and why is it important to understand it on a basic principal level before diving deeply into witchcraft?
