You Got a Trick!
We're nearly to the end! The next two days are going to be special. At least I think so, and I hope you do also... Without further ado.. we enter the ...
Veil's Descent.
In the context of shadow work, “Veil’s Descent” represents the opportunity to look beyond surface-level perceptions and confront deeper truths about ourselves. The veil symbolizes the protective layer that keeps our hidden thoughts, fears, and desires out of conscious awareness. When it descends, we are invited to look within and explore the aspects of ourselves that we normally shy away from—the buried emotions, suppressed memories, and unacknowledged fears that shape our behavior and choices.
This concept encourages us to embrace the temporary opening that Halloween offers, using it as a time for introspection and self-discovery. It’s an invitation to lift the veil on our own shadows, bringing them into the light for healing and transformation. By engaging in shadow work during this time, we can see through the illusions we’ve created, face the truth of who we are, and integrate the hidden aspects of ourselves that hold the keys to our growth and empowerment.
“Veil’s Descent” thus becomes a metaphor for the process of unveiling the truth, both about the unseen world around us during Halloween and the shadowy depths within us, inviting us to walk through the darkness with courage and curiosity.

Hint... the trick IS the questions. There are 15 in total. Each is eerie and a bit fun. Enjoy meeting your shadows.
If you were to open the door to your own haunted house, what ghost from your past would be waiting inside, and what would it whisper to you?
Which ‘skeleton in your closet’ are you most afraid of revealing, and what power would it hold if it saw the light?
If you could cast a spell to transform one negative trait or habit of yours, what would you change, and why?
Imagine a witch’s cauldron brewing with all your secrets—what’s the one ingredient you’d be most reluctant to add?
What inner monster do you feel lurking beneath the surface, and what would happen if you befriended it instead of fearing it?
If you met your shadow self at midnight under the full moon, what advice would it give you, and what would you say back?

“Veil’s Descent” symbolizes the thinning of the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds, a concept closely associated with Halloween. As the veil descends, it becomes easier to connect with spirits, explore the supernatural, and tap into the mystical energy surrounding the season. This night is often seen as a time for divination, communicating with ancestors, and engaging in rituals that honor the unseen world. Halloween is a celebration of the unknown, and the descent of the veil invites us to peer into the mysteries beyond our reality, merging fantasy and fear in a thrilling way.
If your fears took on the form of a creature, what would it look like, and how would you face it in the darkness?
Which ‘enchanted mirror’ truth are you avoiding, and how could seeing it clearly change the course of your journey?
If you could leave one grudge or old hurt in a pumpkin patch and walk away forever, what would you choose?
What spell of protection do you cast to keep others from seeing your vulnerabilities, and how does it limit you?
If you were to write your own horror story, what shadow from your past would be the villain, and how would you overcome it?
What ‘dark desire’ have you suppressed out of fear, and how can you safely explore and integrate it?
Which ghost of a missed opportunity still lingers in your mind, and what unfinished business does it represent?
