Shadow Work in Three Tales: Folk Narratives to Begin Your Transformation
A Guided Workbook with Meditations
Some stories were never just stories. This guided workbook uses folk narratives as a doorway into your shadow work — exploring worth, identity, and intuition through the tales of Kintsugi, the Selkie Wife, and Vasilisa the Beautiful.
The stories you keep telling yourself have been running the show longer than you think — lingering in the collective unconscious for generations.
You don't need to overhaul your life. You need a starting point — and that's exactly what this is.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Three retold folk narratives — Kintsugi, the Selkie Wife, and Vasilisa the Beautiful — condensed and retold with the frame of shadow work at the heart of each one.
Close reading notes — A breakdown of each story that connects the narrative directly to the lesson it holds, so nothing gets lost or overlooked.
Light & Dark archetype analysis — Every tale explored from both sides: the healthy expression of its lesson, and the shadow version that shows up.
Guided journal prompts — Reflective questions built to go deeper than surface-level journaling, designed to build on one another as you move through the workbook.
Guided meditations — Narrative-themed audio meditations for each tale, meant to be experienced in order alongside the story.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This workbook is for anyone who wants a real starting point into shadow work.
You don't need any prior experience with shadow work, journaling, or meditation to use this. You just need a little time and a willingness to sit with what comes up.
HOW IT WORKS
Read each retold tale.
Sit with the close reading and light/dark breakdown.
Work through the guided meditations. (There are four for each tale, designed to be listened to in order and at your own pace.)
Journal through the reflective prompts. (Two for each of the guided meditations.)
Return to the guided meditation for that tale whenever you want.
There's no deadline and no rush. These tales are there for you as you need them.
ABOUT WISTERIA MOON WORKS
Wisteria Moon Works is for those of us who know we should be the main character of our own story — but somehow ended up haunting the margins of it instead. No five-step productivity hacks. No toxic positivity. Just shadow work and folklore to help you understand the story you've been living, own every chapter of it, and start writing the next one like the main character you are.
FAQ
Is this a replacement for therapy? No. This is a reflective, creative tool — not a clinical one. If you're working through something serious, please pair this with support from a licensed professional.
Do I need to know these folk tales already? Not at all. Each story is fully retold inside the workbook, so no outside reading is required.
What format is this in? PDF.
Is this a one-time purchase? Yes — $7, yours to keep. No subscription, no strings attached.
Can I share this with a friend? We'd love for you to send them to this page instead of forwarding the file directly — that way they get their own copy, and you're both covered under the workbook's usage terms.
Your shadow isn't the villain. It just needs a story it can see itself in.
