Shadow Work

For looking at what you'd rather not. The parts of yourself that operate in the background — defended, denied, or simply unseen.

Position Guide

Each position holds a specific question. Draw one card per position — take your time with each before moving to the next.

1

The Mask

“What face are you presenting to the world — or to yourself?”

2

The Shadow

“What are you avoiding, denying, or pushing away?”

3

The Root

“Where does this pattern come from? What is its origin?”

4

The Integration

“How can you acknowledge this part of yourself without being ruled by it?”

How to use this spread

Start by centering yourself around your question. You don't need a precise question — a theme, a situation, or a feeling is enough. Hold it in mind as you shuffle.

Draw 4 cards in sequence, placing each face-down on its position before turning them over. Once all cards are placed, turn them over and sit with the full picture before reading each individually.

The positions guide your interpretation — use them as a lens, not a script. Your immediate response to each card matters as much as any traditional meaning.
