Spell of Shadow Mending: “Mirror of the Midnight Self”

Spell of Shadow Mending: “Mirror of the Midnight Self”

Purpose: For healing hidden pain, shadow work, and integrating rejected parts of yourself.

Ingredients:

    •    A handheld mirror

    •    Black salt (or regular salt with charcoal ash)

    •    A small black or indigo candle

    •    A quiet space

Instructions:

    1.    Circle the mirror with a ring of black salt. Light the candle.

    2.    Stare gently into the mirror by candlelight and whisper:

“I face what hides, I love what weeps,

I call my soul back from the deep.”

    3.    Speak aloud any feelings that arise — shame, fear, old grief — as if you’re comforting a younger self.

    4.    Finish by saying:

“I am whole. I am safe. I am seen.”

    5.    Blow out the candle and wipe the mirror clean, saying “So it is.”
