During this Moon, plan to meet with your shadow self or cowalker. The part of you residing in the otherworld who is the key to your completeness. It relfects the true self of the year gone by, so that you may prepare to fulfill the potential of the year to come.

Turn your altar to the west and light one black and one white candle. Gaze between them into a portal of the otherworld. Call out yo your other self to appear to you between the candles. When the image is visible comune with it in whatever method seems appropriate. Learn from this self all you can about your true earthly nature.

Offer your shadow self food and drunk before bidding it farewell.
