I formerly would not be seen without a little makeup. Started a UA-cam at 50 of my long hike and have only worn mascara maybe twice since then. You look great, beautiful human!
I’m a noob at the shadow work. I’ve journaled, noticed synchronicities, and questioned a lot of shit since I was a small child. I’m interested in diving into the archetypes. Watching your videos is like having a good friend explain it so I don’t feel like such a noob. It becomes clearer. 🦋
That’s awesome. And I’m so glad to hear that, that’s exactly what I always aim for - just real, straight forward friend to friend conversation type videos. ☺️
I looked on your wish-list and saw the "Luna Somnia" Tarot Deck, and god, it is amazing. I have this as my first tarot deck, along with the oracle deck "Wild Mystic". These are very good and I highly recommend.
The wild mystic actually has a "Shadow Reading" section in the guidebook, so on each page it explains it clearly. It compares cards to other, gives a small sample of the mythology behind the animal represented, and is extremely beautiful. The cards are black and white with yellow accents. SO recommend. You should check it out!
I saw this video first, but went to the other one before this. I have heard of shadow work, but never got to focus on it so I am taking now to do so. I take notes on videos in a notebook for me to use, so congratulations! You started my "shadow work tips" notebook. Thank you, I've subscribed.
The Black Tarot It’s also wonderful for shadow work. The images just do something to me/within me. Moonchild Tarot by Daniel Noel - Accompanied by the Yogic Path Oracle. The Oracle has the Danielle Noel artwork. They work beautifully together for shadow work.
i own the beyond Lumeria deck, by far the most beautiful artwork, very in depth, and as a starseed myself find it abit overwhleming with the messages that flood in with i observe the images. I sometimes start to talk in light language as that is the way I found i could energetically feel into the cards meaning.
I just picked up, The Light Seers deck at a second hand store. After not playing with any tarot decks, for over 10 years. This deck screamed at me, in a second hand store. So I got them, after I had already checked out. So I’m diving deeper into, the typical just give a reading. That I used to be asked to do. So this is my first dive into shadow work and drawing multiple cards, to explain this, that and the other. I do have numerous friends, who are also guiding me along, in this journey. Also, you freaking rock.
Well Hello Stormie Atlantis! you had me at your name. LOVE your name and feeling a connection with you. You are beautiful with or without make up, I get. Havent worn make up in 20 years and no regrets. I am not new to shadow work or tarot and oracle. I have been on my truth seeking path to heal myself since birth as I feel we all are. However not all are aware. I have many modalities under my belt but have yet to heal to move myself forward. I look forward to getting to know you more and it was so nice of you to include your views to join in not just follow. Take Joy Always~ D
Because you wanted to know who is watching. I got into tarot a while back, when doing tarot spreads with friends (mainly about future and obstacles) and heard about shadow work so started researching it a bit more the last couple of weeks. Two years ago I was in therapy (age 15 back then) and apparently I have childhood trauma, potentially mental health issues that came from that but my parents didn’t allow me (and still don’t) to get any assessment. During that short form of therapy, the guy actually had me pull tarot cards and tell him what I associate with them, how I feel about them, etc. so I decided to look up shadow work with tarot cards and found your video ^^
First…I clicked on this video randomly ….. typically when I do this I never watch the full video because I am definitely middle-aged going to be 50 this year and the changes in person from their 20s and thirties to 50 is huge. I am glad you decided to be authentic because especially in this spiritual path I can immediately sense fake. I can feel such a deep sense of turmoil,sadness, angst and definitely an uncomfortable vibration coming from you. I’d like to point out many ppl have thought about starting a channel… but never will because of insecurity… however you’ve pushed past the feelings of doubt so it’s obvious you’re strong. Ive been on my witchcraft journey most my life but really have put all of myself in it the last 13 years. I don’t want this to be a novel but I struggle with condensing or articulating a shortened version of what I’m trying to say. Most people in their life will never truly do shadow work, and so they will never truly have a meaningful whole life. When people think of shadow work, it’s often portrayed exactly how you have portrayed it.. dark, brutal and emotional. Everyone has a shadow it’s a part of all of us and is not going away ….. although ppl deny ignore and hide from it as long as possible …. I’d like to suggest a few books and ppl because I feel like ppl don’t quite fully understand true shadow work and will spend many years thinking that they’re working on this shadow thing when they are really not. Healing from trauma, or accepting that you have made some crappy choices is not true shadow work. True shadow work is not denying that that shadow is an integral part of who you are the goal is to embrace & understand it, so your conscious and unconscious live together in harmony thus giving your life wholeness … So the first book I’d highly suggest is -meeting the shadow -by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams All the work from Carl Jung is like opening your soul and truly understanding pretty much life. I am going to give a few more book recommendations that I actually got from a chaos witch, that is in my opinion, one of the realest genuine ppl on UA-cam … I am not going to put her name because that would be disrespectful to this channels creator.. I honestly just felt like I had to be 100% about where my source of literature was found. Eastern body western mind by Anodea Judith The drama of a gifted child by Alice Miller There are so many more but I’ve already taken up to much space😂😂 Made everybody that is searching for their true self be blessed in the process. Especially the creator of this video…. Your voice is powerful… and should be heard❤
Experienced in Tarot but completely new to shadow work. A lot of the decks you mentioned in this video I have in my collection. I always felt there was a reason why those particular decks work best when I myself ask a deep question... They're meant for shadow work 😮💡
I can totally see Forest of Enchantment as a shadow work deck. The haunted Forest of European myth & folklore is one place where the Shadows reside. I've been reading tarot since college, but I'm new to shadow work. I'm ready now. Maybe you could do a live chat series on those Archetype cards, like Jen's Tarot Playdate at Jen's Balanced Tarot. Where we can addd our insights too.
I've been using the Forest of Enchantment for shadow work too! I thought it was kind of a strange choice for me, but because several behaviors/patterns are formed during childhood, I've found that this deck provides info clearly, but gently, which assists in healing.
I've been reading cards since my teens. My mom taught me on a Lenormand deck. She is from Europe. Their card reading styles are very different. I was alwsys taught that reading should be intuitive. You can do full readings from oracle or tarot. I like the different vlogs I see on shadow work. I personally just pull cards face down ask a question and concentrate. Then flip them over and study the answer.
Thank you for sharing this. On a side note I bought a lenomand deck a couple of years ago, could never quite connect with it, and gave it away about a week ago. I'd love to try again if you have a lenormand deck recommendation.
@@StormieAtlantis the gypsy witch Lenormand . My mom bought it in the 70s. Bright orange with a witch. You can get it on Amazon still for like 10 bucks. They sell them in my local metaphysical store. They have poems on them to help. It's kinda cheesy but my mom is psychic and she got great readings. She gave me her deck and another one that's different I cherish them both. Gypsy witch is more old European style cartomancy. Give it a shot.❤❤
I’m not new to tarot, but am new to using the cards for shadow work. I saw someone mention that they used a particular deck in their collection for shadow work, and was drawn to that deck. I literally thought last night, “I’d love to know how to better use the cards for shadow work.” I woke up to your video being the first recommended (Don’t you just love how that happens?)! Thanks for the information and suggestions - very helpful! 🧡
There is a moment in 24:25 in which you curse because you got lost in 'the way forward' and I thought it was the cutest thing I will see today. Love your videos. Keep it up. I really catch your vibe with tarot and shadow work and journaling. 🤍
I'm very late to finding this video but to answer your questions: -First time on your channel -Been doing Tarot for decades very, very casually but started getting serious about it a couple months ago -Pretty new to the term "Shadow Work" but certainly something I have been doing a long time Your rawness and realness is what earned you a sub from me. Much more relatable! While I don't particularly put a lot of weight in advice from people who are an absolute toxic mess of a person, I don't put a lot of weight into advice from people with perfect little lives that you only ever see the perfect side of either! I want to see someone who has real struggles and has found things to help them grow, people who are still taking steps to be better and better despite setbacks. That kind of strength is what is most inspiring to me and resonates with me.
It's your whole vibe and manner of speaking that makes you very real, relatable and to me, you seem very down to earth. I saw your oracle deck collection video and decided to subscribe because the way you talk about your decks and your work really resonated with me. And honestly, how you look has very little to do with the appeal of your channel or videos. Also, I am a mother of 1, I am almost 40, I connect way more with you than most other uploaders I've come across on the subject. To me, you look uniquely like you, i doubt your audience cares if you'd fit in on the cover of vogue, i'd doubt it's the audience you'd want if they did and i'd highly doubt you'd like to be on it anyways. The thing is, you do this for you, and guide others to do for them. It's all about personal growth, about being authentic, and you are exactly that to me. You look healthy, you sound sincere and honest, you are animated, you're pleasant to watch and listen to. Only positive things. Don't forget, this content makes your soul shine more than anything else babe. As someone just coming into this world, starting to purchase my first decks, thank you for sharing your videos, insights etc. They are very helpful to me
I LOVE Biddy Tarot! I bought her book. It was SO worth it! Especially for people who haven't started with a RWS. I have compared my cards to her descriptions (and she has pictures of the RWS cards on the page) to fully understand what I am looking at. She also has card combinations and their meanings. It's literally the best Tarot book on the market in my opinion!
My goals for 2022 are to learn more about tarot and to do shadow work with it and the Universe sent this to me via UA-cam recommendations. I know a lot of people swear by The Light Seers tarot but I ordered the Tarot of the Abyss to do shadow work with because I watched 1,000 of those "only 10 decks" videos and every time somebody pulled that one out something in my soul pinged. Anyway, I've subscribed and now I'll go back and check out some of your old videos. Looking forward to this journey.
i have been watching and rewatching your videos for a few weeks now and i would love..LOVE (i cannot stress this enough) if you talk about certain tarot and oracle decks ( for shadow work etc) or simply review certain decks ( your oracle and tarot decks videos where you mentioned herematic tarot deck and recommended a few books to go along with it ..i love it) i love the way you talk about your decks and review them..im very much intrested to know what you have to say about certain decks and books ( could be anything really) i would love it if you post such videos as well. You mentioned about learning the astrological signs that relates to the tarot system and i would be very much interested if you post your journey too ( also you mentioned here if we would be interested in the series related to the oracle deck..yess yes please). Your voice is very soothing and i like the way you say stuff, i learned alot from your videos.
I'm new to cardomancy and shadow work - I actually just got my 1st tarot deck today so I can start practicing. But I'm glad you made this video cause I've been wanting to incorporate using cards to help me with my own shadow and hopefully after grasping things I can help others. I've always been drawn to the darker things in life and during a pick-a-card reading on UA-cam not too long ago I received the message that one of my greatest skills/strengths is that I have the ability to dive deep into the shadows and not get "freaked out". This really resonated with me so since then I've really been interested in understanding the shadow and how I can accept and incorporate my own. P.S. You are beautiful and radiant and I was immediately drawn to your video! We need more full-figured, middle-aged moms in the spotlight! We've literally been in the shadows for way too long...
OK first off. You are gorgeous! You don't need makeup and I love that you are so real and swear. That is awesome! So subbed there just for that. I am new to shadow work but love tarot and oracle decks. I understand what you mean about the decks really speaking to you and each deck having a different voice. I have had my Lemuria cards for about at least 10 years now and kept them faithfully without looking at them until just recently. Guess I wasn't ready for their message til now. I will be picking up the others that you mentioned and definitely would love a deeper dive on all of them! Glad I found you and thanks so much for all your great info!
I want to see an archetypes series. I think it’s refreshing to see someone with very little makeup on, although I’m sure you are equally beautiful with or without makeup. I’m a makeup junkie, and I go through cycles were I let my skin breathe and don’t wear as much, so I can relate. I am new to shadow work.
Seems a lot of people want to see that series lol. I'm working on it on the backend. And thank you, I LOVE makeup too, but found it refreshing to not wear any for a while.
I've been using the Mary-el Tarot for shadow work too! I'm new to shadow work with tarot so I read the reversals on her deck...and it's so accurate, it's a real kick in the pants.
Yes please to the Carolyn myss deck! I own it and have dabbled with it, but need an expansion lesson with it. Thanks for being here, I really appreciate you
Thank you for the appreciation, and for the feedback, which has been pretty unanimous, so I’ll start working out how I want to do that, and perhaps start publishing it in April ☺️
I used the tarot Linestrider Tarot for about 8 years, it was my first and only deck. I'm not Wiccan, and I don't consider myself a witch. I consider myself someone who is trying to make sense of her spiritual side, and if it has a name, great. If it doesn't subscribe to a belief system, that suits me just fine, too. The deck I had helped guide me through a breakup of a pseudo-marriage relationship, identified what kind of people I should trust, and even helped me build my career. I went through *a lot* of change during 2020, as did many. I needed time to myself without the cards, which was my entire year in 2021... I was in a new place and another new state. Then I found myself wondering about who I am spiritually, since I never took the time to explore that side of me (also being born into a doomsday cult doesn't help), so I decided to retire that deck and start anew with the Woodland Wardens Oracle deck. I am looking at maybe growing a smol deck collection, (never thought about it until you!) and I am preferring Oracle decks more as it would seem! I also grabbed a new journal, which I'll be using to record my shadow work. The first time I'll be using the deck will be to celebrate Autumn Equinox. I'm going to discover what the celebration of the seasons is going to mean for me, using that deck. This was my first video of yours and I really love it. Too many content creators come off as "know-it-all gurus" that really put me off, but you're different in the best kind of way, because you're actually relatable (and not in the fake kind of way). I know you are straying from talking videos and I will support whatever content you want to publish at any kind of schedule. You do you, Stormie.
I've been slowly, oh, so slowly feeling my way into a pagan practice with tarot and oracle as tools along the way. I'm entirely new to shadow work. I so, so appreciate your videos. For what it's worth, I am so glad to have someone to listen to who understands what it's like to be a single mom and trying to work on a spiritual practice (if that's not what you call it, my apologies, hopefully you know what I mean).
I vote Archetypes deck...I have done shadow work and an OG with tarot my problem is journaling...I want to and know it would be so more beneficial....maybe I should start here...commitment anyone??!! Okay.... I definitely want the Archetypes deck video!!! Enjoying your content...well, your whole videos!
Thank you so much. Best advice for journaling I can give you to start journaling is to just start with one card. instead of doing 3, pull 1, and just write out how you could interpret that for your shadow work. Build up from there
OMG I wish I could hang out with you. Thank you so much for this video. I am new to using cards with my self journey. Thank you for the recommendations
I can’t say how many times I’ve come back to your videos for help. This one in particular because it sits so well with where I am and what I need. I hit such a nasty roadblock yesterday and felt so hopeless. Like my intuition was simply gone. But it’s there, under some nasty and very large boulders that I need to clear out. So I bring up this video yet again and I backpedal so I can inch forward again.
Stormie, thankyou for sharing a tarotvjournak that isn't another bullet journal of scrapbooking delight! Love your authenticity. Found you today and subbed
Lol, I’m a pretty crafty kinda person, but yeah, my journal is where I Scribble and doodle and write, glad you appreciate my lack of journal aesthetics, it’s just a practical tool for me.
I’m still new to everything still studying tarot, and exploring concepts. But need to focus on my energy and emotional control and confidence so the idea of shadow work seems interesting, I’ve been on a crazy buying, so my decks I went from 2 to nearly 50 between oracle and tarot some mass market some indie and just backed a few kickstarters, so now I’m done. And need to use them all.
I would love a video diving in to the archetype deck 💕 Also u r beautiful! I struggle with the ability to put myself out there, let alone put myself out there without makeup! You talking about this and being brave and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is very inspiring 😊 keep doing you!
After making this video I no longer like foundation, and I switched to a tinted moisturizer, and have just generally started wearing very little makeup. Its been fucking liberating. Still love makeup - which my Platinum ulta status confirms, but its been nice not giving a single shit haha.Thank you, I plan on diving into the archetypes later on.
Hi Stormie, I am an overweight, middle aged, single mum who makes no excuses for not wearing make-up, lol. BTW, not that you need validation from me, but you look beautiful without make up. I know that is hard to hear, but you look like a real person with depth and warmth. As for who I am watching this video - I have always dabbled in tarot and have wanted to delve deeper but can never quite find the time to give it a red hot go. It feels overwhelming and the message is start with the original Rider Waite and learn all the card meanings first vs use the deck you are drawn to and use your intuition. I am and have been a collector of tarot though since 1990 of and on. I am also a beginner to shadow work and specifically went looking for videos that use tarot and oracle in shadow work as I am find that I am looking for a little spiritual guidance to get me started. I am also a new subscriber. I hope that helps. Thanks for sharing, I am off to find your other video. 😊
I think you are awesome! Thank you for making this video. I’m new to card reading but not new to the spiritual realm. I’ll be checking out all your videos now. Plus I love the fact that you are not a 20 year old yoga teacher!
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I’m 2:15 minutes in and hit the subscribe button. I too am a middle aged mom working on myself and it’s so nice to see another one talking about things that interest me. So, thank you. Now I need to finish watching the video 😂
Stormie , Thank you, for this beautiful video. I had the good fortune to find you. Have been on the path for some time. It was a breath of fresh air to find your video. Looking forward to the path ahead. Bravo 🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹👍
New to the whole shabang, but really aligning with it quickly, I am learning every day and you are quite informative as well as entertaining. I am providing this information for you since you asked for your audience poll.
I saw your another video about Shadow Working for Beginners, it was really useful. But you said that it's important to have your own space and privacy.... And this is strange but I'm actually doing my journey with my girls using my Oracle cards. We cry, we laugh and we heal ourselves and know each other. I want to know if this is wrong, if I'm doing it wrong, because it feels so right
I rarely subscribe to youtubers but something in you and how you express yourself made me subscribe you! Love all the information you give and how you're very real!
Hey Stormie No I don’t do tarot for others nor shadow work, I’m really only have two decks about 20% vested into a serious contemplating-with myself of being a UA-camr to replace my previous position that didn’t pay me for my skills of channeling Spiritual consciousness and herbs and life learnings . COVID stopped my healing work I did in person so yea . I’m just here doing research on what’s available and watch my costs in Tarot or Oracle cards to help in the messages and not get to personal or deep in the lower energies of the (OPM ) yea other people’s mess just to give to those who “ ask “ for guidance in this traumatic shut down losses and some history of the ancestors . Yea just to help inspire heal others a positive light without Ego run the show and work in the higher energies of love as this planet is spiraling. Thank you for your labor in explaining the concept you see.
I just found you and subscribed today. I'm certainly not new to tarot and I have almost all the decks and the book that you've used in this video. I was just checking out this video and others to see what decks were being used for shadow work. I really like the spread that you have come up with and the fact that you would start with oracle cards if you are not experienced with shadow work.
Stormie. What decks would you recommend for inner child work? I love that you suggested such bright, uplifting decks for shadow work, which typically isn’t the norm so I’m interested to see what you would recommend for inner child work.
Off the top of my head I think that tarot of the enchanted forest would be good for inner child work as well. That’s the only deck I personally own that I would say. Other than that I’d recommend a deck themed around something that resonates with your childhood specifically. What did you love as a child? Can you find a deck with a theme like that?
I have been doing and studying shadow work for some time, my daily practice consists of pulling a light card and a shadow card. And use those as my jumping off point for journaling.
I have The Shadow & Light & The Shapeshifter Decks for 9/8 years, and just love them!! I also have Les Vampires by the same author and artist, that's another one that's good for Shadow Work as well. 🙂
The Lemuria Deck found me! I purchased it last year. It is deep. I was picking a card daily for 3 months.. had to step back. I'm now pulling from Kuan Yin deck daily. Energy feels lighter this month. The decks pick me.. if this makes sense. Love your energy!
Thank me Mary! Lemuria is sooooo good, glad you’ve gotten to know it. I have some decks like that. Gifts or decks I randomly stumble upon. Those are the best. ☺️
I really love your vibe! Thank you for the video. I'm really interested in starting shadow work and I want to learn more about how to use the cards to guide it. I really appreciate how genuine you are- I subscribed about 3 minutes in. Thank you 🥰
Okay, totally excited to have found your channel. First of all, "unfinished projects" -- Hello Friend!! Also, single mom. I had Beyond Lemuria in my Amazon cart!! I'll pop over on your link though. As far as shadow work and spiritual journey, I've been all over the place. I've never really had a "practice". Mostly because I never found anything that I felt I needed to do or that completely resonated with me. My interest in occult topics started pretty early on (late elementary school) so I've read a lot of books and watched lots of videos (Love Spirit Science's youtube channel) but I still feel like a complete beginner because I have never incorporated that information into my life. Working on that though...
i was looking for someone like you, love the video, so deep is the explanation just buy my first decks Last week, #1 is The medicen Women by Catherine Maillard this is so strong the information and deep work, found Lemuria this is my vibe, The Power of Love by James ..... i was feeling that i need something else to complete the oracle's and you just did that 💖🙌🏻 i love the magic world in people healing
Just wanted to comment that you are so beautiful and it’s interesting how we see ourselves. I myself can’t get in front of the camera because I feel like I’m undeserving somehow. So I get that so much, but still- you really do have natural beauty. I’m not just saying that. ANYWAY. Love your videos.
Hey! I’m new new new! New to your channel. New to tarot (8 months). New to shadow work (maybe a month). I haven’t watched the first video but play to. It is so helpful though, thank you!
Lol I actually subscribed because you AREN'T a 20 something yoga teacher influencer and you curse. I'm here for it.
sweet, welcome to the middle aged shit show lol
SAME!!
Me, too. I love people who are so real and vulnerable and courageous!
Me too!!! 💯💯💯 Love you!!!
Me too
You are more beautiful than a yoga teacher. You teach us to heal, while u are healing yourself. THAT is beautiful 🥰
😭😭😭awwwweeeee thank you so much
I formerly would not be seen without a little makeup. Started a UA-cam at 50 of my long hike and have only worn mascara maybe twice since then. You look great, beautiful human!
Kali Oracle Deck is amazing for Shadow work as well.
I have it, but haven’t dug into it enough just yet, though I’m sure this is a great suggestion, thank you for leaving it for others
Actually, I stopped in my (middle-aged) scrolling tracks because of how radiant and present you look in the still! I’m so glad I did! 🥰
Would love to see video on the archetype deck
Agreed :) Wanna start using this for shadow work myself!
Would love it as well 👍🏻
Same! Would love more information.
I’m a noob at the shadow work. I’ve journaled, noticed synchronicities, and questioned a lot of shit since I was a small child. I’m interested in diving into the archetypes. Watching your videos is like having a good friend explain it so I don’t feel like such a noob. It becomes clearer. 🦋
That’s awesome. And I’m so glad to hear that, that’s exactly what I always aim for - just real, straight forward friend to friend conversation type videos. ☺️
I love that you let yourself be vulnerable on camera ,you're very brave great job. I think you look great.
Found you only today. Cool video and you look beautiful
I looked on your wish-list and saw the "Luna Somnia" Tarot Deck, and god, it is amazing. I have this as my first tarot deck, along with the oracle deck "Wild Mystic". These are very good and I highly recommend.
The wild mystic actually has a "Shadow Reading" section in the guidebook, so on each page it explains it clearly. It compares cards to other, gives a small sample of the mythology behind the animal represented, and is extremely beautiful. The cards are black and white with yellow accents. SO recommend. You should check it out!
I saw this video first, but went to the other one before this. I have heard of shadow work, but never got to focus on it so I am taking now to do so. I take notes on videos in a notebook for me to use, so congratulations! You started my "shadow work tips" notebook. Thank you, I've subscribed.
Thank you so much for this. Most people talk around shadow work but don’t get into the mechanics of it
I agree. Glad you found it useful ☺️
The Black Tarot It’s also wonderful for shadow work. The images just do something to me/within me.
Moonchild Tarot by Daniel Noel - Accompanied by the Yogic Path Oracle. The Oracle has the Danielle Noel artwork. They work beautifully together for shadow work.
i own the beyond Lumeria deck, by far the most beautiful artwork, very in depth, and as a starseed myself find it abit overwhleming with the messages that flood in with i observe the images. I sometimes start to talk in light language as that is the way I found i could energetically feel into the cards meaning.
I just picked up, The Light Seers deck at a second hand store. After not playing with any tarot decks, for over 10 years. This deck screamed at me, in a second hand store. So I got them, after I had already checked out. So I’m diving deeper into, the typical just give a reading. That I used to be asked to do.
So this is my first dive into shadow work and drawing multiple cards, to explain this, that and the other.
I do have numerous friends, who are also guiding me along, in this journey.
Also, you freaking rock.
Thanks for sharing your vulnerability, from one middle aged woman to another it´s much appreciated. Thanks for the video too of course. Take care
Well Hello Stormie Atlantis! you had me at your name. LOVE your name and feeling a connection with you. You are beautiful with or without make up, I get. Havent worn make up in 20 years and no regrets. I am not new to shadow work or tarot and oracle. I have been on my truth seeking path to heal myself since birth as I feel we all are. However not all are aware. I have many modalities under my belt but have yet to heal to move myself forward. I look forward to getting to know you more and it was so nice of you to include your views to join in not just follow. Take Joy Always~ D
Totally agree with your assessment of the Light Seer's tarot!!
you should definitely do the archetype series! It would be super interesting and helpful! Also you got so excited about it so you gotta!!!
YES to a series on the Myss cards!!!
This all new to me.
Because you wanted to know who is watching.
I got into tarot a while back, when doing tarot spreads with friends (mainly about future and obstacles) and heard about shadow work so started researching it a bit more the last couple of weeks.
Two years ago I was in therapy (age 15 back then) and apparently I have childhood trauma, potentially mental health issues that came from that but my parents didn’t allow me (and still don’t) to get any assessment. During that short form of therapy, the guy actually had me pull tarot cards and tell him what I associate with them, how I feel about them, etc. so I decided to look up shadow work with tarot cards and found your video ^^
First…I clicked on this video randomly ….. typically when I do this I never watch the full video because I am definitely middle-aged going to be 50 this year and the changes in person from their 20s and thirties to 50 is huge. I am glad you decided to be authentic because especially in this spiritual path I can immediately sense fake. I can feel such a deep sense of turmoil,sadness, angst and definitely an uncomfortable vibration coming from you. I’d like to point out many ppl have thought about starting a channel… but never will because of insecurity… however you’ve pushed past the feelings of doubt so it’s obvious you’re strong. Ive been on my witchcraft journey most my life but really have put all of myself in it the last 13 years. I don’t want this to be a novel but I struggle with condensing or articulating a shortened version of what I’m trying to say.
Most people in their life will never truly do shadow work, and so they will never truly have a meaningful whole life. When people think of shadow work, it’s often portrayed exactly how you have portrayed it.. dark, brutal and emotional. Everyone has a shadow it’s a part of all of us and is not going away ….. although ppl deny ignore and hide from it as long as possible …. I’d like to suggest a few books and ppl because I feel like ppl don’t quite fully understand true shadow work and will spend many years thinking that they’re working on this shadow thing when they are really not. Healing from trauma, or accepting that you have made some crappy choices is not true shadow work. True shadow work is not denying that that shadow is an integral part of who you are the goal is to embrace & understand it, so your conscious and unconscious live together in harmony thus giving your life wholeness …
So the first book I’d highly suggest is -meeting the shadow -by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams
All the work from Carl Jung is like opening your soul and truly understanding pretty much life.
I am going to give a few more book recommendations that I actually got from a chaos witch, that is in my opinion, one of the realest genuine ppl on UA-cam … I am not going to put her name because that would be disrespectful to this channels creator.. I honestly just felt like I had to be 100% about where my source of literature was found.
Eastern body western mind by Anodea Judith
The drama of a gifted child by Alice Miller
There are so many more but I’ve already taken up to much space😂😂
Made everybody that is searching for their true self be blessed in the process. Especially the creator of this video…. Your voice is powerful… and should be heard❤
Thank you so much~💐
Experienced in Tarot but completely new to shadow work. A lot of the decks you mentioned in this video I have in my collection. I always felt there was a reason why those particular decks work best when I myself ask a deep question... They're meant for shadow work 😮💡
Yes! Please do a series on the Archetype Cards.
I can totally see Forest of Enchantment as a shadow work deck. The haunted Forest of European myth & folklore is one place where the Shadows reside.
I've been reading tarot since college, but I'm new to shadow work. I'm ready now.
Maybe you could do a live chat series on those Archetype cards, like Jen's Tarot Playdate at Jen's Balanced Tarot. Where we can addd our insights too.
Thats a great idea, thank you Kirsten
You’re such an underrated UA-camr! I hope more people find you, this is soo helpful!
I've been using the Forest of Enchantment for shadow work too! I thought it was kind of a strange choice for me, but because several behaviors/patterns are formed during childhood, I've found that this deck provides info clearly, but gently, which assists in healing.
Thats actually such a great way to put it, and honestly, I never even thought about it like that. You're brilliant, thanks for this!
I would love the archetype video!
I've been reading cards since my teens. My mom taught me on a Lenormand deck. She is from Europe. Their card reading styles are very different. I was alwsys taught that reading should be intuitive. You can do full readings from oracle or tarot. I like the different vlogs I see on shadow work. I personally just pull cards face down ask a question and concentrate. Then flip them over and study the answer.
Thank you for sharing this. On a side note I bought a lenomand deck a couple of years ago, could never quite connect with it, and gave it away about a week ago. I'd love to try again if you have a lenormand deck recommendation.
@@StormieAtlantis the gypsy witch Lenormand . My mom bought it in the 70s. Bright orange with a witch. You can get it on Amazon still for like 10 bucks. They sell them in my local metaphysical store. They have poems on them to help. It's kinda cheesy but my mom is psychic and she got great readings. She gave me her deck and another one that's different I cherish them both. Gypsy witch is more old European style cartomancy. Give it a shot.❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with me 💕 100% will get this
@@StormieAtlantis I hope you like it. I love the witchy vibe.😁😁
I’m not new to tarot, but am new to using the cards for shadow work. I saw someone mention that they used a particular deck in their collection for shadow work, and was drawn to that deck. I literally thought last night, “I’d love to know how to better use the cards for shadow work.” I woke up to your video being the first recommended (Don’t you just love how that happens?)! Thanks for the information and suggestions - very helpful! 🧡
Ask and you shall receive! lol Thank you for the feedback, glad to know it as helpful!
There is a moment in 24:25 in which you curse because you got lost in 'the way forward' and I thought it was the cutest thing I will see today. Love your videos. Keep it up. I really catch your vibe with tarot and shadow work and journaling. 🤍
Love your top. Gorgeous
Thank you! I just got it and I’m gonna live in it all summer haha
I'm very late to finding this video but to answer your questions:
-First time on your channel
-Been doing Tarot for decades very, very casually but started getting serious about it a couple months ago
-Pretty new to the term "Shadow Work" but certainly something I have been doing a long time
Your rawness and realness is what earned you a sub from me. Much more relatable! While I don't particularly put a lot of weight in advice from people who are an absolute toxic mess of a person, I don't put a lot of weight into advice from people with perfect little lives that you only ever see the perfect side of either! I want to see someone who has real struggles and has found things to help them grow, people who are still taking steps to be better and better despite setbacks. That kind of strength is what is most inspiring to me and resonates with me.
A little off topic but u seem so fun to hang out with lol
You are perfect just the way you are . I would rather see you natural , honest and genuine
I am new to shadow work with Tarot. Your videos and your experiences are very helpful. I love your energy !
Just so you know I come here for you and you are beautiful ❤️
😭😭😭
This spread seriously just blew my mind!
Using the Aleister Crowley tarot : Mirrors of the soul. Gratitude 💫
It's your whole vibe and manner of speaking that makes you very real, relatable and to me, you seem very down to earth. I saw your oracle deck collection video and decided to subscribe because the way you talk about your decks and your work really resonated with me. And honestly, how you look has very little to do with the appeal of your channel or videos. Also, I am a mother of 1, I am almost 40, I connect way more with you than most other uploaders I've come across on the subject. To me, you look uniquely like you, i doubt your audience cares if you'd fit in on the cover of vogue, i'd doubt it's the audience you'd want if they did and i'd highly doubt you'd like to be on it anyways. The thing is, you do this for you, and guide others to do for them. It's all about personal growth, about being authentic, and you are exactly that to me. You look healthy, you sound sincere and honest, you are animated, you're pleasant to watch and listen to. Only positive things. Don't forget, this content makes your soul shine more than anything else babe.
As someone just coming into this world, starting to purchase my first decks, thank you for sharing your videos, insights etc. They are very helpful to me
Thank you 😭😭😭
I LOVE Biddy Tarot! I bought her book. It was SO worth it! Especially for people who haven't started with a RWS. I have compared my cards to her descriptions (and she has pictures of the RWS cards on the page) to fully understand what I am looking at. She also has card combinations and their meanings. It's literally the best Tarot book on the market in my opinion!
New to shadow work. Thanks for the video!
My goals for 2022 are to learn more about tarot and to do shadow work with it and the Universe sent this to me via UA-cam recommendations. I know a lot of people swear by The Light Seers tarot but I ordered the Tarot of the Abyss to do shadow work with because I watched 1,000 of those "only 10 decks" videos and every time somebody pulled that one out something in my soul pinged. Anyway, I've subscribed and now I'll go back and check out some of your old videos. Looking forward to this journey.
If it works for you that’s all that matters. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, and best wishes on your healing journey 💗
i have been watching and rewatching your videos for a few weeks now and i would love..LOVE (i cannot stress this enough) if you talk about certain tarot and oracle decks ( for shadow work etc) or simply review certain decks ( your oracle and tarot decks videos where you mentioned herematic tarot deck and recommended a few books to go along with it ..i love it) i love the way you talk about your decks and review them..im very much intrested to know what you have to say about certain decks and books ( could be anything really) i would love it if you post such videos as well. You mentioned about learning the astrological signs that relates to the tarot system and i would be very much interested if you post your journey too ( also you mentioned here if we would be interested in the series related to the oracle deck..yess yes please). Your voice is very soothing and i like the way you say stuff, i learned alot from your videos.
I'm new to cardomancy and shadow work - I actually just got my 1st tarot deck today so I can start practicing. But I'm glad you made this video cause I've been wanting to incorporate using cards to help me with my own shadow and hopefully after grasping things I can help others. I've always been drawn to the darker things in life and during a pick-a-card reading on UA-cam not too long ago I received the message that one of my greatest skills/strengths is that I have the ability to dive deep into the shadows and not get "freaked out". This really resonated with me so since then I've really been interested in understanding the shadow and how I can accept and incorporate my own.
P.S. You are beautiful and radiant and I was immediately drawn to your video! We need more full-figured, middle-aged moms in the spotlight! We've literally been in the shadows for way too long...
OK first off. You are gorgeous! You don't need makeup and I love that you are so real and swear. That is awesome! So subbed there just for that. I am new to shadow work but love tarot and oracle decks. I understand what you mean about the decks really speaking to you and each deck having a different voice. I have had my Lemuria cards for about at least 10 years now and kept them faithfully without looking at them until just recently. Guess I wasn't ready for their message til now. I will be picking up the others that you mentioned and definitely would love a deeper dive on all of them! Glad I found you and thanks so much for all your great info!
Loved the video! So helpful! I would also like to see the archetype video! Thank you!!
Awesome. Thank you for letting me know! ☺️
YES!!!! DO A VIDOE SERIES!!!! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!
I want to see an archetypes series. I think it’s refreshing to see someone with very little makeup on, although I’m sure you are equally beautiful with or without makeup. I’m a makeup junkie, and I go through cycles were I let my skin breathe and don’t wear as much, so I can relate. I am new to shadow work.
Seems a lot of people want to see that series lol. I'm working on it on the backend. And thank you, I LOVE makeup too, but found it refreshing to not wear any for a while.
I've been using the Mary-el Tarot for shadow work too! I'm new to shadow work with tarot so I read the reversals on her deck...and it's so accurate, it's a real kick in the pants.
never heard of it but just looked it up and its suuuuuuuper pretty, thank you
Yes please to the Carolyn myss deck! I own it and have dabbled with it, but need an expansion lesson with it. Thanks for being here, I really appreciate you
Thank you for the appreciation, and for the feedback, which has been pretty unanimous, so I’ll start working out how I want to do that, and perhaps start publishing it in April ☺️
I used the tarot Linestrider Tarot for about 8 years, it was my first and only deck. I'm not Wiccan, and I don't consider myself a witch. I consider myself someone who is trying to make sense of her spiritual side, and if it has a name, great. If it doesn't subscribe to a belief system, that suits me just fine, too.
The deck I had helped guide me through a breakup of a pseudo-marriage relationship, identified what kind of people I should trust, and even helped me build my career.
I went through *a lot* of change during 2020, as did many. I needed time to myself without the cards, which was my entire year in 2021... I was in a new place and another new state. Then I found myself wondering about who I am spiritually, since I never took the time to explore that side of me (also being born into a doomsday cult doesn't help), so I decided to retire that deck and start anew with the Woodland Wardens Oracle deck.
I am looking at maybe growing a smol deck collection, (never thought about it until you!) and I am preferring Oracle decks more as it would seem! I also grabbed a new journal, which I'll be using to record my shadow work. The first time I'll be using the deck will be to celebrate Autumn Equinox. I'm going to discover what the celebration of the seasons is going to mean for me, using that deck.
This was my first video of yours and I really love it. Too many content creators come off as "know-it-all gurus" that really put me off, but you're different in the best kind of way, because you're actually relatable (and not in the fake kind of way). I know you are straying from talking videos and I will support whatever content you want to publish at any kind of schedule. You do you, Stormie.
yes!! please make a video on the archetype card deck! I keep trying to use it, but I get so lost and confused I end up giving up..
Ok when you read about the Fairy Bee literally started tearing up and this tingling sensation all over my body 🥺
I've been slowly, oh, so slowly feeling my way into a pagan practice with tarot and oracle as tools along the way. I'm entirely new to shadow work. I so, so appreciate your videos. For what it's worth, I am so glad to have someone to listen to who understands what it's like to be a single mom and trying to work on a spiritual practice (if that's not what you call it, my apologies, hopefully you know what I mean).
Absolutely know what you mean, and yes, it’s a path with unique challenges. Best wishes 🙏🏼
I loooove The Enchanted Tarot. I feel like I let my guard down and let the info in with this deck/book!! I've been using it for shadow work too 💥
I vote Archetypes deck...I have done shadow work and an OG with tarot my problem is journaling...I want to and know it would be so more beneficial....maybe I should start here...commitment anyone??!! Okay.... I definitely want the Archetypes deck video!!!
Enjoying your content...well, your whole videos!
Thank you so much. Best advice for journaling I can give you to start journaling is to just start with one card. instead of doing 3, pull 1, and just write out how you could interpret that for your shadow work. Build up from there
OMG I wish I could hang out with you. Thank you so much for this video. I am new to using cards with my self journey. Thank you for the recommendations
Happy I could help
Yes, please do a video on the Archtypes. I've had that deck for over 15 years!
Yes please do more videos on the archetypes deck that you mentioned in this video✨
It's on the list!☺
I can’t say how many times I’ve come back to your videos for help. This one in particular because it sits so well with where I am and what I need. I hit such a nasty roadblock yesterday and felt so hopeless. Like my intuition was simply gone. But it’s there, under some nasty and very large boulders that I need to clear out. So I bring up this video yet again and I backpedal so I can inch forward again.
I'm new at This shadow work and New to your channel.Thanks for showing This.
Stormie, thankyou for sharing a tarotvjournak that isn't another bullet journal of scrapbooking delight! Love your authenticity. Found you today and subbed
Lol, I’m a pretty crafty kinda person, but yeah, my journal is where I Scribble and doodle and write, glad you appreciate my lack of journal aesthetics, it’s just a practical tool for me.
Hello, I’ m new in tarot reading, I see some of your videos and I never done a shadow tarot :)
And I would love see video on the archetype deck ! ☾
Thank you for stopping by and giving me feedback! ☺️
Just starting shadow work,this video was very helpful. I love your name and the way you put yourself out there , you are amazing and beautiful.
You’re very kind ☺️ thank you so much, glad you found the video useful 👌🏼
I’m still new to everything still studying tarot, and exploring concepts. But need to focus on my energy and emotional control and confidence so the idea of shadow work seems interesting, I’ve been on a crazy buying, so my decks I went from 2 to nearly 50 between oracle and tarot some mass market some indie and just backed a few kickstarters, so now I’m done. And need to use them all.
Its really life changing, best of luck on your healing journey and I hope you find this useful
The archetype deck is great. Love to see the series. And I didn't notice there was no makeup.
Awwwe thanks 😊
I love your authenticity ❤ Thank you for expressing your vulnerability. Truly appreciated 🙏
So glad I found you Stormie...no shit, honest, inspiring me to get some shit healed. Thank you.
Girl you are so gorgeous. Before I clicked the video I thought “man she is sooo pretty” 💕
You’re too kind. Thank you 🙏🏼☺️
I would love a video diving in to the archetype deck 💕 Also u r beautiful! I struggle with the ability to put myself out there, let alone put myself out there without makeup! You talking about this and being brave and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is very inspiring 😊 keep doing you!
After making this video I no longer like foundation, and I switched to a tinted moisturizer, and have just generally started wearing very little makeup. Its been fucking liberating. Still love makeup - which my Platinum ulta status confirms, but its been nice not giving a single shit haha.Thank you, I plan on diving into the archetypes later on.
Hi Stormie, I am an overweight, middle aged, single mum who makes no excuses for not wearing make-up, lol. BTW, not that you need validation from me, but you look beautiful without make up. I know that is hard to hear, but you look like a real person with depth and warmth. As for who I am watching this video - I have always dabbled in tarot and have wanted to delve deeper but can never quite find the time to give it a red hot go. It feels overwhelming and the message is start with the original Rider Waite and learn all the card meanings first vs use the deck you are drawn to and use your intuition. I am and have been a collector of tarot though since 1990 of and on. I am also a beginner to shadow work and specifically went looking for videos that use tarot and oracle in shadow work as I am find that I am looking for a little spiritual guidance to get me started. I am also a new subscriber. I hope that helps. Thanks for sharing, I am off to find your other video. 😊
I think you are awesome! Thank you for making this video. I’m new to card reading but not new to the spiritual realm. I’ll be checking out all your videos now. Plus I love the fact that you are not a 20 year old yoga teacher!
I would love to see a series on the archetypal cards, I love Caroline Myss, , she has a few books I love.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I’m 2:15 minutes in and hit the subscribe button. I too am a middle aged mom working on myself and it’s so nice to see another one talking about things that interest me. So, thank you. Now I need to finish watching the video 😂
Thanks so much for the feedback. It’s always good to know that I’m resonating with someone ☺️
I'm so glad I found your channel. I feel such connection to you.
Definitely love you and your approach! Thank you!
Stormie , Thank you, for this beautiful video. I had the good fortune to find you. Have been on the path for some time. It was a breath of fresh air to find your video. Looking forward to the path ahead. Bravo 🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹👍
New to the whole shabang, but really aligning with it quickly, I am learning every day and you are quite informative as well as entertaining. I am providing this information for you since you asked for your audience poll.
Welcome to the shitshow 👍
I would smash the heck out of that Like button. Your guide was absolutely on the spot!! Thanks!
I saw your another video about Shadow Working for Beginners, it was really useful. But you said that it's important to have your own space and privacy.... And this is strange but I'm actually doing my journey with my girls using my Oracle cards. We cry, we laugh and we heal ourselves and know each other. I want to know if this is wrong, if I'm doing it wrong, because it feels so right
I rarely subscribe to youtubers but something in you and how you express yourself made me subscribe you! Love all the information you give and how you're very real!
Hey Stormie
No I don’t do tarot for others nor shadow work, I’m really only have two decks about 20% vested into a serious contemplating-with myself of being a UA-camr to replace my previous position that didn’t pay me for my skills of channeling Spiritual consciousness and herbs and life learnings . COVID stopped my healing work I did in person so yea . I’m just here doing research on what’s available and watch my costs in Tarot or Oracle cards to help in the messages and not get to personal or deep in the lower energies of the (OPM ) yea other people’s mess just to give to those who
“ ask “ for guidance in this traumatic shut down losses and some history of the ancestors . Yea just to help inspire heal others a positive light without Ego run the show and work in the higher energies of love as this planet is spiraling.
Thank you for your labor in explaining the concept you see.
I just found you and subscribed today. I'm certainly not new to tarot and I have almost all the decks and the book that you've used in this video. I was just checking out this video and others to see what decks were being used for shadow work. I really like the spread that you have come up with and the fact that you would start with oracle cards if you are not experienced with shadow work.
I enjoyed your video very much. I haven't done much shadow work and came here to learn more about it.
Stormie. What decks would you recommend for inner child work? I love that you suggested such bright, uplifting decks for shadow work, which typically isn’t the norm so I’m interested to see what you would recommend for inner child work.
Off the top of my head I think that tarot of the enchanted forest would be good for inner child work as well. That’s the only deck I personally own that I would say. Other than that I’d recommend a deck themed around something that resonates with your childhood specifically. What did you love as a child? Can you find a deck with a theme like that?
Thank you... I learn to be open-minded and your videos help me a lot.
Thank you for your helpful advice!😇
definitely do the archetype series. i'm getting that deck as soon as possible lol. thank you for the content!
I have been doing and studying shadow work for some time, my daily practice consists of pulling a light card and a shadow card. And use those as my jumping off point for journaling.
I love that approach. Thank you for adding this
I have The Shadow & Light & The Shapeshifter Decks for 9/8 years, and just love them!!
I also have Les Vampires by the same author and artist, that's another one that's good for Shadow Work as well. 🙂
Thank you for this addition ☺️
I do agree light seer is the most amazing deck! My favorite ever! thank you for your ll the recommendations! ❤️ ! Love your honesty and opening. ✨✨✨✨
I’m new to tarot and shadow work in general :) I am hoping to really concentrate on tarot in 2022
The Lemuria Deck found me! I purchased it last year. It is deep. I was picking a card daily for 3 months.. had to step back. I'm now pulling from Kuan Yin deck daily. Energy feels lighter this month.
The decks pick me.. if this makes sense. Love your energy!
Thank me Mary! Lemuria is sooooo good, glad you’ve gotten to know it. I have some decks like that. Gifts or decks I randomly stumble upon. Those are the best. ☺️
I really love your vibe! Thank you for the video. I'm really interested in starting shadow work and I want to learn more about how to use the cards to guide it. I really appreciate how genuine you are- I subscribed about 3 minutes in. Thank you 🥰
Thank you 🙏🏼
Okay, totally excited to have found your channel. First of all, "unfinished projects" -- Hello Friend!! Also, single mom.
I had Beyond Lemuria in my Amazon cart!! I'll pop over on your link though.
As far as shadow work and spiritual journey, I've been all over the place. I've never really had a "practice". Mostly because I never found anything that I felt I needed to do or that completely resonated with me. My interest in occult topics started pretty early on (late elementary school) so I've read a lot of books and watched lots of videos (Love Spirit Science's youtube channel) but I still feel like a complete beginner because I have never incorporated that information into my life. Working on that though...
I'm a new follower and I must say I love your vibe! 💕
Takes one to know one ☝️😉 thanks 🙏🏼
i was looking for someone like you, love the video, so deep is the explanation just buy my first decks Last week, #1 is The medicen Women by Catherine Maillard this is so strong the information and deep work, found Lemuria this is my vibe, The Power of Love by James ..... i was feeling that i need something else to complete the oracle's and you just did that 💖🙌🏻 i love the magic world in people healing
Just wanted to comment that you are so beautiful and it’s interesting how we see ourselves. I myself can’t get in front of the camera because I feel like I’m undeserving somehow. So I get that so much, but still- you really do have natural beauty. I’m not just saying that. ANYWAY. Love your videos.
Are you TRYING to make me tear up? lol thank you so much, youre very kind
Hey! I’m new new new! New to your channel. New to tarot (8 months). New to shadow work (maybe a month). I haven’t watched the first video but play to. It is so helpful though, thank you!
