Protection magic is about feeling safer in our bodies. That safety helps us access our intuition and true selves. Part of this process is spending time with our shadow archetypes: the exiled places of us that need understanding and support, and have messages and wisdom to share. 

How can they be helpful? 
Are they keeping us from where we want to go? 
And when do we need to set them free? 

This episode goes over:

- The scapegoat
- The victim
- The whistle-blower, lone wolf, and other exiles

Sarah shares more about these, and the importance of making space for them.
