Over to Beck to tell you about creating spiritual practice, her Shadow Work Oracle and suggested card spreads -
Getting into a regular spiritual practice can be really tricky, so having a resource to engage with can be a huge help.
The start of the new year feels like a great time to start something new and establish a deeper sense of yourself and your magic - this collection of resources has been lovingly crafted to help us explore. At the heart of good spiritual practice is exploration, and at the beginnings of exploration, is questioning.
The shadow work oracle deck and guide book is full of questions - what might happen if we challenged the belief *behind* that thought? What might happen if we let go of our attachment to this thought or that feeling?

As an oracle deck, you can sit with it and use it to help make space to see into your life now, but you can also use it as a “card of the day” draw - make a special space, maybe with a cloth, a candle, a little bunch of herbs, a crystal, whatever makes the space feel sacred, and then, every day, draw a card from the deck. Spend some time just reflecting on the imagery and what comes up for you. Ask yourself (gently) why? Why do I feel like that looking at that body or shape or scene? If you like flick to the corresponding page in the guidebook and allow the questions to bring yourself to the surface. You might choose to write the affirmation onto a post it note or into the reminders app in your phone so you are reminded during the day.
The Shadow Work journal takes that practise a bit deeper - full of space-making, question-asking pages and prompts, the journal is packed with opportunities to understand our deeper selves, our shadow, better. Whether you take ten minutes of time while you drink coffee in the morning, or whether you need to wait until the whole house is asleep and quiet to carve out some time for yourself, it is the act of intentionally making space to see yourself that helps to make this a deep and impactful habit.
Not sure how to get started?
Here are three ways to use the cards – it’s a great idea to have a blank journal to keep with your cards so that you can record your thoughts, reactions and insights as you go! Reflecting back on your notes later can help you to discover common themes that recur or bigger narratives that are gradually revealed – what a wonderful gift to give yourself. And its always a great practice to thank the cards for making space for you.
One card a day
Start with the deck in order, and move through the deck, one card at a time, making space to sit with a card and allow yourself to reflect. There are 56 cards - you could draw one card for the week and set an intention to see how that concept shows up for you in that week. You could draw one card a day for two months and see how the practice of self-reflecting every day changes your perspective on your life.

Two cards – expand and release
Shuffle the deck in whatever fashion you’re comfortable and then take the top card as an opportunity to expand into, and the bottom of the deck as an invitation to release. Pay attention to the immediate resistance to either the release or the expansion. Resist the urge to rationalise why that challenge is arising, stay with the feeling and allow yourself to observe the truth that emerges.
Three cards – Past, Present, Future
Shuffle using your favourite method, then split the cards (I tend to make three piles and turn over the top one of each, but you could draw three cards however you care to!)This spread draws our attention to the ways that these concepts have been present in our past, in our present, and in our future - sometimes we need to sit and allow the story of these cards to shift into focus. Allow yourself to begin to see the narrative threads that emerge and to be curious about the future part of this story.
