Shadow work, embodiment, healing trauma, and reclaiming the self are at the heart of this powerful conversation. In this episode of Voices from the Liminal, I sit down with Kelly Ann Street, author of Embrace the Dark, to explore what it truly means to return to the parts of ourselves we once left behind.
This is not surface level shadow work. This is about the body, memory, disconnection, and the journey back to wholeness. We talk about the moment many people recognize but struggle to name, when the body no longer feels like it belongs only to them, and how that shapes identity, safety, and healing.
Through practices like mirror work, journaling, movement, ritual, and emotional integration, this conversation walks through the real lived experience of healing. We also explore the idea that healing is not linear, and that returning to the darkness is not failure, but a deeper form of self-reclamation.
If you are on a path of self-discovery, healing, or spiritual growth, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

![🌙 CREATING MY OWN GRIMOIRE | BUILDING A LIVING BOOK OF MAGIC @FolkloringPodcast
I’m finally creating my own grimoire! In this video, I’m sharing how I’m starting and organizing my witchcraft grimoire, what I’m putting inside, and why I chose an A5 six-ring binder instead of a permanently bound Book of Shadows.
After spending time again with Dee Norman’s The Seeker’s Guide to Grimoire Magic: Unlocking Secrets from Old Texts, I started thinking more seriously about what a grimoire actually is and what I want my own magical record to become.
I have years of magical practice scattered everywhere: ritual oil recipes, herbs and correspondences, ingredient activations, divination spreads, prayers, spirit and ancestor work, protection practices, seasonal rituals and notes from things I’ve experienced along the way.
It’s finally time to bring it all together.
But I don’t want a perfect grimoire that sits untouched on a shelf.
I want a living grimoire.
One that gets written in, reorganized, stained with oils, changed when my practice changes and filled with the things I’m actually learning and experiencing.
And because my Virgo brain already knows what will happen the first time I mess up a page or decide something belongs in an entirely different section… I chose a binder. 😂🌙
In this video, we’re talking about:
🌿 What a grimoire is
📖 Grimoire vs. Book of Shadows
🌙 How I’m starting my personal grimoire
🗂️ Why I chose an A5 six-ring binder
🌿 Herbs & magical correspondences
🕯️ Ritual oils, blends & ingredient activations
🔮 Divination & tarot spreads
🗝️ Protection & threshold work
🖤 Spirit & ancestor work
🌕 Seasonal & lunar practices
🙏 Prayers & devotional work
📜 Rituals, spellwork, research & personal experiences
✨ Why I’m documenting results as my practice evolves
This isn’t about creating the “perfect” witchcraft journal.
It’s about documenting the magic while I’m living it.
