Moonstone Tarot

You may have heard the term ‘Light Worker’ before which can be used to describe an individual who works with spirit and their own abilities to give energy in order to heal. Examples of light workers are reiki masters or even teachers. Shadow workers take energy to help with healing, for example a psychologist or spiritual worker that can help with you protection and cleansing rituals. Light workers give energy to heal whereas shadow workers hold space and assist you with releasing energy or trauma to bring healing.

Shadow work is a process of digging into the deepest darkest layers of the self to analysis and heal trauma or stuck energy from past memories, experiences or even past lifetimes. For example when you find yourself talking about past memories that were difficult or painful and facing tough feelings like rejection, shame, guilt or even anger you are actually doing shadow work. Of course there are much more structured ways you could go about this depending on your preferred method of communication with spirit. You could begin working on your shadows with tarot by asking specific questions regarding your shadows/ shadow work. Another recommended method is having a look at your astrological chart, looking at your moon sign or what planets you have in the house that rules Scorpio ( 8th house).

Shadow workers also have different types of gifts compared to Light workers. Shadow workers have gifts like mediumship and work better with the energy of the moon and Gods and Goddess’ associated with death and the underworld. Recommended crystals to assist with shadow work:

1. SELENITE to cleanse and release any stagnant energies
2. OBSIDIAN to protect yourself from lower vibrational spirits
3. MOONSTONE to help raise the vibrations
