Can light and darkness ever be separate? The two energies are not only inseparable but vital as well.
However, one is the source of joy, while the other is usually associated with shame, fear, and uncertainty. But is there a reason behind our instinctual fear of the darkness?
The shadow season’s work involves exploring the uncharted, unlit, and unknown sides of ourselves. Our only ally will be our belief that we will get out wiser and stronger.
With the Northern Hemisphere going deeper into Autumn, the nights are getting longer. It is asking us to get used to shadows while seeing the world using other senses.
The following crystals will help in harnessing ancestral guidance, courage, stability, and safety as we face the coming uncertain weeks. They can be held in meditation, incorporated into grids, or just placed on altars.
They will produce an environment filled with support, wisdom, and tranquility to help you reach past the veil.
