Journey to the Shadow Self: What Psychology, Goddess Worship, & Plant Medicine Can Teach Us About Healing

by Dr. Marie Loper PhD

The "Shadow Self" refers to the unconscious or repressed aspects of an individual's personality, often consisting of traits, desires, or emotions that are denied, ignored, or not fully integrated into one's conscious identity. It encompasses the parts of oneself that are often repressed or not fully acknowledged in conscious awareness. Psychological interventions often encourage individuals to confront their Shadow Selves with compassion, non-judgment, acceptance, and forgiveness; aiming to bring these hidden elements into conscious awareness. The exploration and acknowledgment of the Shadow Self are considered essential for personal growth, self-awareness, and spiritual development. Exploring the Shadow Self is a pathway to self-discovery, and healing. This workbook offers information, journaling exercises, and rituals, as well as prompts for self-reflection, meditation, or creative expression tailored to each goddess archetype.
