🕯️ 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:
-
Light a Protection Candle
-
Sit in stillness.
-
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.
