Hey /x/, looking for some advice on dealing with this shadow aspect. Lemme give some quick background details. >dreaming last week>in dream I realise I can use magick to get rid of bugs outside of my house>debate on whether I should use electrical magick or fire magick>suddenly a shadow entity comes up from behind and twists my arm behind me and holds the back of my neck in a lock (think of how police restrain someone)>I wake upAfter meditation, reflection, and a tarot session asking Archangel Raphael for advice, I realise that this shadow figure is an actual aspect of my own shadow self. My fears and insecurities that restrains me from moving forward in life. There are plenty of fears I have in life, like commitment, and flying in an airplane. So I don't wish to banish this. It's part of me.Instead I want to bring it forth, understand it, and show it love. The problem is, is that this thing scares the shit out of me. Does anyone have any tips for rituals or meditations or such? Has anyone ever dealt with this sort of thing? If so, could you share some advice on how you dealt with it?

Your shadow could be a pussy and you full of bravado but subconsciously avoidant. Thr shadow isn't necessarily a psychopath. It is probably a little psychopathic though.
>>38852507Maybe it is more scared of me than I’m scared of it, you’re right. But what about actually facing it?
