#soul retrieval
Note
Someone claiming to have been formally trained in soul retrieval told me I lost a part of my soul and that's why I'm depressed. I looked up soul retrieval and the first result was something to gaia.com. I'm scared and confused... please help?
Okay, keep in mind that I do not know very much about this, but AFAIK, the notion that parts of your soul can get lost in the spirit world and a spirit worker has to go and fetch them comes from certain Indigenous beliefs (I do not know which right now, because again, I do not know much about this).
It looks like what's happened here is that the New Agers have found another Indigenous practice to appropriate and market to the masses. If somebody "formally trained in soul retrieval" is telling you that your depression is caused by soul loss, you can be pretty sure that they're looking at you with dollar signs in their eyes. Like if you want to take a spiritual approach to managing your depression (preferably in addition to professional care, if that's possible for you), that's fine, but literally any time you find a spiritual "expert" claiming they know what's cause your problems and it just so happens to be the thing they're an expert in, you should be really wary. At best they probably don't actually know what they're talking about; at worst, it's an outright scam.

I recently attended a friend's workshop on soul retrieval and did some journeying with Loki for Him to put what I learned into practice. Of course, the final step of soul retrieval is attaching the piece back to the whole, and my friend taught us that sewing is typically what that looks like; like stitches for an open wound. But when I went to start sewing with needle and thread, something felt off. I felt like I should be gently rubbing over the place where the piece was reattached. I was contemplating this again this morning and realized it could mean that perhaps, for me doing this work, I rub in a healing salve and use those steri-strip bandages as sutures. I got a "bingo" but felt weird about it. Like clearly stitches are the Thing to do here, but Loki said, "Modern problems need modern solutions." So we use modern medicine in soul healing now 🤣

I’ve been seeing this photograph posted a million times — it makes me feel melancholic. It’s a starling on a roof, under the falling rain. it’s from Carina Sirbu’s portfolio. And it’s a great shot.

“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”
-James O'Barr

As part of my spiritual practice, I frequently journey. I'm still working on how to explain the various levels of consciousness I experience, and how I get there. In the meantime, if you have a path to journeying but are looking for assistance - I have a playlist for that! Entering a trance state may take patience. Using specific music or drumming, combined with breath and body work can aid in shifting consciousness. Your own ancestral roots may also provide a specific vehicle. For example, in Curanderismo a Curandera may embark on a Soul Retrieval Journey with a client in an effort to heal unresolved illness or trauma.
I have utilized journeying to meet my ancestors and spirit guides, through a soul retrieval process, and to connect to my higher self. All have been incredibly beneficial to my spiritual growth.

It sucks so hard that so many people are rooting for my downfall and writing me off so heavy.
It’s hard to celebrate my accomplishments.
But,
🖤 got a job that appreciates what I do and I excel at it as much as I can.
💜 got back into feeling like I could take pictures, have memories, be more present for myself.
❤️🔥 growing to feel completely comfortable in my interests and actually opening up in my therapy sessions about the trauma I faced and learning to recognize that I put more blame and pressure on myself than I ever have given myself credit for.
🤍 paid out a ton of refunds with two more to go, all the while still managing all my bills on time and some form of financial literacy.
🫠 finally, gaining fourteen pounds in a month, getting back on a somewhat consistent diet, learning to cook again and learning to sleep, balance, and mediate.
💓 I spent Christmas with my dad’s folks and I hadn’t seen them since right before I got sick. There were millions of questions, speculations, rumors, and shit they wanted to clear up. Most of all, they didn’t want me overdoing anything. I was able to not only answer honestly and was surprised by how many hugs and “glad you’re back” comments but also, I made it the whole night without feeling pressured into getting black out drunk, staying up all night or trying to hang with the young kids. I sat back, kicked my feet up, nursed a drink and ate five plates of food.
This era of healing has been tough. Been painful. Been filled with loss of those I loved more than myself. But, it’s needed because my therapist was right. Fighting for my life also meant fighting for my soul, my spirit, and my future. I’m nowhere near a hero to myself but I’m currently trying to fit her for a cape.

Soul Retrieval: What It Is and How It Can Help You Heal from Trauma
Have you ever felt like a part of you is missing? Like you are not whole, complete, or fully alive? Like you have lost your vitality, joy, or purpose?
If you have, then you may have experienced soul loss. Soul loss is a spiritual condition that occurs when we suffer physical or emotional trauma and a part of our soul flees the body to survive the pain. This can result in feelings of emptiness,…

I got a La Hooking/Soul Retrieval from RadiantWatersHealingTherapies!
I did a La Hooking / Soul Retrieval with Claire @radiantwatershealingtherapies and lemme tell you, even now, just after the process, I feel So Energetic. There will be a second checkup to see how things are progressing, and I will give out the full write up later, but for now:
Book a La Hooking/Soul Retrieval session with Claire, if you feel like your luck is always crap, your energy is constantly drained, and your hopefulness and will to live is constantly depleted.
During the process, if you are sensitive to energy, you can literally feel Energy rushing to you, going inside you, and you will feel a sense of Wholeness, of Completion, and of Belonging.
I am so thankful Claire offered this service, because while the process itself is simple and short for the client, the work she did for the ritual on her end would be very extensive.
Thanks Claire!
you can check the La Hooking / Soul Retrieval here and go here to check out their Website, and all the services offered!
ps: I have been working with Claire since the first time I offered Free Divinations, which is at least, 6 years ago, and they are really good with what they do, I myself am fond of her Reiki work and I got my Level 2 Reiki Attunement with her 2 years ago!
pps: not only do we share the same Reiki Master for our Level 1 Reiki Attunement, we also share the same Tibetan Buddhism Teacher that gave us our Transmissions/Empowerments for our Medicine Buddha + Yuthok Nyingthig practices.

I am so close to being able to offer power animal retrievals.
After doing another of my own, I feel very drawn to it. I imagine I'll feel the same way about soul retrievals.
I may make an audio to sell on my website.

The Closing moments are necessarily quieter than the climactic scene, but they should be no less emotionally resonant; in fact, the denouement (the final outcome of the main dramatic complication in a literary work) is a moment that looks back to and reminds the reader of the beginning of your novel and what questions were raised there, particularly in terms of the protagonist’s internal motivation. What your character wants personally has been driving the narrative since the first page, even before the external motivation and conflict came along to parallel the personal struggle. With the external question resolved in the climax, what remains is answering the inthrall question and addressing the effect the story has had on the character as a person, thus bringing the character arc, and the book, full circle.
(Joseph Bates, Writing Your Novel from Start to Finish, 2015, page 194.)

Two webcomics focus on archivists, secure archives, and "soul records"
Although I mostly write about animated series on here, apart from past posts about Always Human, That Awkward Magic!!, and Lore Olympus, I come across some archivists in some of my favorite webcomics, specifically Power Ballad and 180 Angel, the former of which I mentioned on Twitter back in December.
Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Mar. 20, 2021.
Let's start with Power Ballad, a lesbian superhero romantic comedy by Molly Brooks, a well-regarded illustrator. In the fourth episode, Meera mentions her ex, Sydney "Syd", to her boss, Carina Peterson, who worked as an archivist at her art collection in the past. They later meet with Diane and find the art paintings they are looking for in her vault in the basement of her house.
Then in the seventh episode, Meera meets with another one of her exs, Emmy, and comes with Carina. Emmy, an assistant curator at the museum, shows them around an exhibit that had been vandalized recently, noting that the real pieces the thief wanted to steal are in their "secure archives" only accessible to museum staff, with high-quality reproductions on display. Finally, in the 13th episode, they talk about an art piece stolen from the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) archives and of course, Meera knows someone who works at the crime lab, another one of her exs.
Then we get to two episodes of 180 Angel, by King Katbird. In episode 39 ("Discovered"), protagonist Chloe Samael "Sam" Heavenwood goes to the Hall of Soul Records in order to get directions to the office of Sereph Celeste. She talks with her about becoming a Seraph and there is a list of "unregistered soul records" which have a label saying they shouldn't be filed. Then in episode 40 ("Calm Down"), Celeste tells her that no one can know about how her hair changes colors with her emotion and that she has to learn to control it. Apparently, her dog stole a record from the Hall of Records, and she calls it a library. Unfortunate that this comic lapses into the library=archives idea.
Even so, these webcomics continue the long tradition of fictionalizing archives, which dates back to Graeco-Roman times. As Sharon Wolff pointed out in 2018, due to the lack of public exposure that archivists and professionals in the archival field have, it means that "fictional representatives" of archivists become an "important way to give people an idea of what they do."

Soul Retrieval Ritual Update
Finally integrated, that part of me I called back months ago. (They say you shouldn’t, without a significantly trained lead- but we’re in a league of our own). She was outside of me for months, waiting for what needed to fully die, before I could be reborn again.
Things related to justice sway me, hard. So yes, even if you’re a childhood friend, I will unabashedly call you out for knowingly and unconsenually infecting someone with an STI. But if you want to cancel me, for holding you accountable for the fucked up things that you do and say, then that’s okay. I’m fine being the villain in the story. 12th housers, are but mirrors that reflect back, you to you. 💅🏽
I left behind the part of me that had preferences, that made decisions, that wielded power. But I can feel the difference, both subtle and significant. Without this piece returned I wouldn’t have been able to thrive in the things I “chose.” (let’s be real, there’s only one choice when it comes to takdeer: alignment or fighting against the current for the rest of your life.)
Roflmao to all the ways this could’ve been a disaster, but wasn’t. One of the many perks of apprenticing with a ninth generation Spanish and Indigenous practitioner with over 35 years casting as a professional.
