The Search for Meaninglessness
The courage to face the shadow within me,Shadow Oracle
Anyone who practices tarot or psychological counseling has likely encountered a moment of hitting a wall. Even as your counseling skills become more sophisticated, there are times when a deep thirst remains unquenched, or when you ask yourself,Why do the same problems keep repeating in my life? and feel lost as you circle around obvious answers. The real reason for that frustration lies beneath the surface of events,because the 'shadow' of the unconscious, which we have not been able to read, is hiding there.
"What is your shadow trying to tell you?"
Carl Jung once said."If you do not make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." he said.
"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individualโs conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."
Everyone carries a shadow. The less it is revealed in your consciousness, the darker and heavier it becomes.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will lead your life and you will call it fate.
โ Carl Gustav Jung

Q. What kind of cards are the Shadow Oracle?
The Shadow Oracleย is based on Carl Jung's analytical psychology,
and consists of 50 cards designed to help you face your inner shadow and unconscious..
Each card is themed around psychological concepts such as repressed emotions, masks, projection in relationships, inner child, and self-integrationย etc.
and is designed with these psychological concepts as its main themes.
Through this, you can recognize patterns in the unconscious,
It allows you to ask yourself reflective questions.
Although it resembles the form of tarot,
What is more important than prophecyis self-understanding and inner growth.
Anyone can use it,
and it will become a companion on your journey to discover your own shadow and true self.
Additionally, depending on your preference,
it can be freely used as tarot, oracle, psychology, or meditation cards.
Q. What was the purpose of creating these cards?
We often suppress our emotions and live while ignoring our shadows.
Not only clear emotions like "anger" or "fear",
but also ambiguous and repetitive shadows such as "a sense of emptiness without reason" and "endless comparison with others",
or "emotions that explode from trivial triggers" can
sometimes control us from outside our consciousness.
Shadow Oracle reveals those shadows,
and brings the messages within them to the surface of your awareness.
Shadows are not something to be eliminated,
but another part of myself that completes me.
Through this card,
the suppressed shadow,can be faced, understood, and integrated.
We wanted to create a map for inner exploration.
Q. Not my own mind,but someone else's mind when you are curious about it,
can this card help?
Yes, it is definitely possible.
Emotional conflicts that arise in relationships are
mostly connected to projected shadows.
The anger, rejection, idealization, and obsessionyou feel toward others are
in fact,reflections of unconscious patterns within yourself. That can be the case.
The Shadow Oracle helps you recognize such processes of projection.
For example, if you draw a card while thinking of the other person,
The shadow within my unconscious that person provokes.
You may confront (e.g., unresolved emotions with parents, anxiety in relationships with a partner, desire for recognition).
The shadow revealed in this way
Allows you to understand others more deeply,
And becomes the starting point for healing unconscious relationship patterns.
Through the Shadow Oracle,
Your inner self will finally become free.
