I’m chatting today with author Shannon Knight all about her new book, Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow: Magickal Tools and Tarot to Confront Your Fears and Free Your Potential.Author Shannon Knight’s approach to shadow work is deeply rooted in secular, therapeutic, and psychological principles, but she recognizes the valuable role that magick, archetypes, and symbolism play in this process. Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow is unique to other books on the subject, incorporating the use of tarot as a prominent tool that serves as a method of self-reflection, offering a portal to our subconscious and helping us access parts of ourselves previously unavailable to us. The imagery and archetypes help facilitate a dialogue with our shadow, making it easier to converse with the repressed and hidden parts of ourselves.Knight reveals that to create harmony and reduce tension between the logical and mystical aspects of ourselves, we need to be curious about multiple ways of being. We learn by experimenting with how these impact us—for better or for worse—and then we figure out what to do with this information.Find the book and Shannon:Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow: https://redwheelweiser.com/book/dark-shadow-golden-shadow-9781578638925/Website: TheTarotDiagnosis.comInstagram: Instagram.com/TheTarotDiagnosisShannon Knight (she/her) is a queer therapist licensed in both Arizona and Florida, where she specializes in working with individuals and couples.

Shannon enjoys the sacred nature of healing work while maintaining a sense of humor about the absurdities of human life. She is the host of The Tarot Diagnosis, a weekly podcast that highlights the intersection of mental health with the practice of tarot and self-inquiry to help listeners better understand themselves and those around them.

Crystals are displayed prominently at virtually every witchcraft and metaphysical store; however, a comprehensive guide to their use in magic has been a missing element. Nicholas Pearson helps to remedy this with The Witching Stones, examining crystals, gems, and humble stones with the most ancient and powerful connections to magic. These magical stones number fourteen in all: flint, hagstone, ammonite, fossil urchin, salt, lodestone, lead, toadstone, amber, jet, cross-stone, quartz, moonstone, and emerald. Pearson explores the historical usage of these stones, as well as why they are associated with witchcraft, but also offers practical and accessible uses for the modern practitioner in the form of spells and rituals. He describes more than fifty spells, rituals, and recipes, from the basics of cleansing and consecrating your stones, to more advanced techniques like crafting lead curse tablets, blending incense and oils, and working lunar magic with moonstones.The Witching Stones focuses on the geology, history, and practical use of crystals and stones in magic. This book is an excellent how-to guide to the magical use of stones and crystals, suitable for beginners who don’t know what to “do” with crystals, as well as for the experienced crystal lover who seeks to take their practice to the next level. While many spell books feature the use of crystals within them, this is the first book to dive deep into the topic, exploring the mineral kingdom in the context of alchemy, talismanic magic, and Luciferian witchcraft.Find The Witching Stones and Nicholas:Book: https://theluminouspearl.com/books/the-witching-stones/Website: www.theluminouspearl.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/theluminouspearlAdditional Links: www.linktr.ee/theluminouspearl Nicholas Pearson has been immersed in all aspects of the mineral kingdom for nearly thirty years.
