khthoniaa :pinkmoon:<p>I'm curious about the connections between shadow work and UFOlogy. At first glance, it may seem like these two practices are entirely separate from one another. </p><p>But if "aliens" (or "extraterrestrials;" or "ultraterrestrials;" or even "faeries," if you're feeling fancy) are often perceived and understood as "The Other," then it would follow that we'd assign traits and attributes to them that *we* possess but ultimately reject or repress. The same applies to other beings that are given "Other"-status, both human and otherwise. </p><p>I wonder how different the fields of UFOlogy, occultism, and High Strangeness would look if shadow work was considered an integral part of the practice. And I wonder how that would affect the common lore, tropes, and archetypes associated with these Phenomena.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/UFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UFO</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/aliens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aliens</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/ShadowWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShadowWork</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Ultraterrestrials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ultraterrestrials</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>occult</span></a></p>
