Full Moon Prep - Shadow Work Prompts

Full Moon Prep - Shadow Work Prompts

Good afternoon moon babes! Tomorrow marks the first full moon of the year, it is referred to as the Wolf Moon, associated with this time of year because wolves are very active, howling to define social bonds, establishing their territory, and hunting, and the start of breeding season often making them more territorial of their land, honing in on cunning and intuitive energy during this time is imperative. This full moon is in leo.

This particular energy has been very emotional this year with the full moon, it seems like all of the spiritualists I have been talking to have felt a huge energy shift starting around Sunday all the way through the week. A lot of us have been experiencing emotions that feel not entirely our own, sleepless nights/ tossing and turning (also when we do dream the messages have been WILD, loud and clear.) With all of that energy I am simultaneously also feeling very spiritually locked in, yes I'm tired and emotional but my ancestors and spirits messages have been FLOWING easily to me this week.

For today's patreon post I wanted to create 4 shadow work prompts for us to work on before the full moon’s peak tomorrow, then on the second day of the full moon (Friday) I will share a spell for us to cast.

Remember there is no right or wrong way to do shadow work, no correct answer or no full answer needed. These prompts were written to address situations I get and see a lot in myself, friends, co -workers, emails, consultations, in store conversations, ect. Written to provoke thought and personal introspection, allow yourself to feel whatever emotions arise when reading these prompts and answer however you feel guided to. Get into a cozy space, physically and mentally. You can write these answers out or sit down and meditate on each of the prompts, however you prefer to conduct your shadow work sessions.

I like to prepare for shadow work sessions like I do for rituals, cleansing my space, laying offerings to my ancestors (for this it’s normally kananga water or alcohol), cleansing my hands and either doing the actual prompts at my altar or on the floor below my altar, if you’d like to do this in the comfort of your bed or in the bath that's fine. Hold this session for you, however you'd like to conduct it.

Hold yourself accountable, show up for yourself here.

Shadow Work Prompts

Prompt 1. Are you self aware of your own habits and how they can be deficiencies, rather than strengths? Take into consideration balancing  budget, ethics, personality traits, and time ect.

Prompt 2. Think about / consider the times you invested in things, not just financial. Do you allow yourself to fully follow through with those things? Do you ever get in the way of following through with your investments? (Friendships, situations, business, ideas, spellwork.)

Prompt 3. Do you you follow through with your intentions? When you wake up in the morning and intend to do this or that, do you have the self discipline to take the actions to better yourself and turn your intentions and wishes into actions and behaviors?

Prompt 4. Do you fully allow things you are manifesting to take root and transpire, fully unfold before you intervene prematurely in any way.

Let me know how you guys liked these prompts, I had Dylan help me write some out and dragged myself writing my own answers. Lets all get ready to release and get your items ready you'd like to charge tomorrow in the full moon, (also reminder to make some moon water!)

XOXO
