🕯️ Soul Loss in Shamanism: Where Did You Go, Babe?

“Trauma didn’t just hurt you - it took a piece of you with it.”

🧬 What Is Soul Loss?

In shamanic traditions all over the world - from the Andes to the Arctic - it’s believed that intense emotional or physical trauma can cause a piece of your soul to literally break off and flee.

Yes.
Flee.

Because your soul, like any badass survivor, knows when to duck out of a dangerous situation.

And while your body stayed behind to deal with the chaos…
your essence?
She packed her astral bags and bounced.

💔 What Causes Soul Loss?

  • Abuse

  • Accidents

  • Sudden grief

  • Betrayal

  • Near-death experiences

  • Even childbirth or heartbreak

Anything that left you numb, “off,” or feeling like a shell?

That wasn’t just you being dramatic.
That was your soul saying, “Nope.”

💭 How Do You Know If You’ve Lost Soul Pieces?

  • Chronic fatigue with no medical cause

  • Feeling “hollow” or emotionally flat

  • Memory gaps after trauma

  • Recurring patterns you can’t break

  • Depression or addiction that feels ancient

  • A weird sense that you’re not fully here

It’s like haunting your own life.

🔮 So… Where Do The Pieces Go?

Shamans say they linger in non-ordinary reality -
realms beyond waking, where spirit guides, ancestors, and forgotten parts of yourself chill until someone goes looking.

They’re not gone.
They’re waiting to come home.

🔥 Soul Retrieval: The Comeback Ritual

A trained shaman enters a trance (often through drumming or plant medicine), journeys into the spirit world, finds the missing soul piece, and brings it back.

Sometimes it shows up as:

  • A glowing orb

  • A child version of you

  • An animal

  • A memory you forgot you forgot

The return is often instantaneous and emotional.
Like finding a part of yourself you didn’t realise was missing - until it snapped back in.

🧼 Witch Tip:

You don’t need to be a trained shaman to start soul calling.

Try this:

  1. Light a Protection Candle

  2. Sit in stillness.

  3. Say aloud:

    “All parts of me that were lost through fear, pain, or betrayal…
    I call you home now. You are safe to return.”

Repeat it like a spell. Mean it like a scream.
And let the pieces come back on their own time.
