"Help! My Shadow is Doing Witchcraft Without Me"

“Help! My Shadow Is Doing Witchcraft Without Me”

By Darklady

It started subtle. A whisper. A flicker. My shadow moved just a little too slow one night… like it was thinking for itself.

Now? It’s doing full moon rituals behind my back. Literally.

Signs Your Shadow Has Gone Rogue:

Keeps showing up in selfies when you’re not even in frame.

If your shadow’s got better angles than you, it’s planning something.

Leaves behind sigils you didn’t draw.

Sure, that chalk mark looked like a spilled latte at first… until your ex’s car broke down and three pigeons screamed at him simultaneously.

You wake up tired because something used your body for spellwork at 3am.

Ever astral-project against your will? Welcome to the club, babe.

It has a better altar than you.

You lit one black candle. Your shadow built a throne from crow bones and moss.

What You Can Do:

1. Negotiate.

Sit down with it in candlelight and say, “Look, I get it. I’m tired too. But can we at least co-write the hexes?”

2. Offer a truce spell.

A little grave water, obsidian, and a mirror. Say: “May my shadow and I conspire, not compete.” Bonus: Your dreams get way more interesting.

3. Or just surrender.

Honestly, she’s doing better work than you lately anyway.
