So, remember how I told you about the magical Halloween weekend at Heart Body & Soul? Well, part two of that day took a delightfully unexpected turn — straight into the shadows. And not the spooky, scary kind. I’m talking the parts of ourselves we don’t always explore… until they grab us by the hand and say, “Hey. Let’s talk.”
Enter: Tricia. Artist, intuitive channel, and monster whisperer.
Shadow Monsters and Curiosity Portals
Tricia Dietrich of Sacred Source Studios was holding space for something she called Monster Card Drawings. I had no idea what that meant. All I knew was I was curious — and apparently, that was the point. She channels your shadow “monster” through art. Think of it like spiritual collage meets oracle reading, but make it wildly personal and lowkey mind-blowing.
You start by choosing six seemingly random pieces from her table. Just what you’re drawn to. Then Tricia weaves those pieces into a card that reflects your shadow monster for the season — and channels a message through it.
My monster?
Curiosity.
Totally caught me off guard… and then came the mic drop: it was my sex monster.
The Magic of Surprise Shadow Work
I wasn’t expecting a sex magic chat over coffee and Halloween costumes. But that’s what I love about intuitive spaces. You don’t always get what you want. You get what your soul is ready for.
Tricia and I ended up having a deep, hilarious, and expansive conversation about desire, creativity, curiosity, and reclaiming power through the lens of sex magic. None of it was planned. She didn’t know anything about me. And I sure didn’t walk in expecting that to be the message of the day.
But it was perfect. Every part of it.
Why It Mattered
It reminded me that shadow work isn’t always heavy. Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s awkward. Sometimes it’s covered in glitter and staring you down like, “So… you gonna deal with me or nah?”
Curiosity — even the messy kind — is sacred. It’s how we uncover truth, magic, and those hidden parts of ourselves that are so ready to be seen.
This was more than just a Halloween event. It was soul work. Wrapped in witchy skirts, scissors, lanterns, and now… sex monsters.
Have you met your shadow monster lately?
Don’t be afraid of what lives in the dark. Sometimes, the juiciest parts of ourselves are just waiting for us to light a candle and say hello.
With curiosity and cauldrons,
🖤 Angie
