Shadow Work and the Tarot: Meeting the Hidden Self” (John’s Tarot – Soul Awakening Series, Episode 4)

Shadow work is one of the most essential — and misunderstood — stages of personal and spiritual growth. In this episode, we explore Shadow Work through the lens of Carl Jung and the Tarot, revealing how the cards act as a mirror to the parts of ourselves we often avoid, repress, or deny. Jung taught that the Shadow is not evil or broken — it is simply the unconscious material shaped by fear, conditioning, trauma, and survival. When left unexamined, the Shadow drives our reactions, projections, addictions, and repeated life patterns. When brought into awareness, it becomes a source of strength, compassion, and wholeness. Using Tarot as a symbolic language of the psyche, this episode shows how archetypal cards like The Moon, The Devil, The Tower, and Strength reveal the hidden self and invite integration rather than judgment.

✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:

• What Jung meant by “the Shadow”

• Why shadow work is necessary for individuation

• How unintegrated shadow shows up in daily life

• Tarot cards commonly associated with shadow material

• How Tarot reveals fear, illusion, and self-deception

• How shadow integration leads to authenticity and freedom • A Tarot spread designed specifically for shadow work

• How to approach shadow work gently and safely Shadow work is not about fixing yourself — it is about reclaiming the parts of you that were pushed into the dark.

May this episode help you meet the hidden self with honesty, courage, and compassion.
