Good Sunday to you my friends, Here is this evenings Witchy/Magickal/Pagan post from A Witch Awakens. May it help you delve deeper into your Shadows...
PROMPT: Explore the concept of the witch's shadow - the hidden repressed aspects of your magickal self. What aspects of your magickal practice do you shy away from, and why?
Sometimes Reddit gives some good content. I came across a recommendation for this book in r/relationship_advice and started reading it last night. I've come to the conclusion that this is a really great book that I think everyone should read. I say everyone because I feel like women who are abusive may play the same game that men do.
This comes from a therapist who specializes in abuse and writes out her experiences and thoughts on why men do what they do and what red flags to look out for.
I haven't finished the book yet, but I've already learned so much and it has opened my eyes to what lies beyond their actions. I'll post more thoughts as I read/after I finish the book.
From the author's introduction: "I have simply chosen the word abuser as a shorthand way of saying 'men who chronically make their partners feel mistreated or devalued.'"
Update @ 11:32am EST | I can't seem to edit the ALT text for the image to say the book's title. The book is called "Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft.
