The root lies in Carl Gustav Jung&#8217;s term &#8220;shadow&#8221;, the part of the personality that is consciously rejected, repressed, or not integrated.<\/p><p>Jung treated the shadow at length in his &#8220;Collected Works&#8221;, particularly in volume 7 (On the Psychology of the Unconscious) and volume 9 (Aion); the later Jungian school (Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward Edinger, James Hillman) developed the term further.<\/p><h3>Transition into Spiritual Practice<\/h3><p>In the modern New Age movement and in certain modern occult currents, the term shadow was detached from its psychotherapeutic context and transformed into a form of spiritual practice, &#8220;shadow work&#8221;.<\/p><p>Robert Bly (&#8220;Iron John&#8221;, 1990) initiated a similar movement in the men&#8217;s movement of the 1990s; Carolyn Myss and Caroline Myss in the energy-medicine tradition; Marianne Williamson in the context of &#8220;A Course in Miracles&#8221;.<\/p><p>Spiritual shadow work is methodologically close to Jung&#8217;s understanding, but transfers it into a religious or spiritual frame of reference that was not present in Jung himself.<\/p><h3>Boundaries with Magical Practice<\/h3><p>The term &#8220;shadow magic&#8221;, as a magical practice, only arises in the modern occult scene of the late 20th century. It understands the shadow not primarily in psychological terms, but energetically: the shadow is part of one&#8217;s own energetic constellation, which can be worked on through <span class=\"iwg-fachbegriff\" data-tooltip=\"Relating to formalized magical procedures, with a fixed apparatus of incantations, symbols and tools.\" tabindex=\"0\">ritual-magical<\/span> procedures.<\/p><p>This step is not attested in the history of <span class=\"iwg-fachbegriff\" data-tooltip=\"The academic discipline that studies religions comparatively and without confessional commitment.\" tabindex=\"0\">religion<\/span>; it is a construct of modern occult reflection. Anyone who works with &#8220;shadow magic&#8221; should clarify methodologically whether they mean Jungian psychotherapy, spiritual shadow work in the New Age sense, or <span class=\"iwg-fachbegriff\" data-tooltip=\"An ordered sequence of symbolic actions with religious or cultural meaning.\" tabindex=\"0\">ritual<\/span> magic in the narrower sense.<\/p><h3>Critical Assessment<\/h3><p>From the perspective of religious studies, shadow magic is a classic example of the &#8220;spiritual bricolage&#8221; of late-modern <span class=\"iwg-fachbegriff\" data-tooltip=\"A collective term for teachings that claim a hidden knowledge accessible only to initiates.\" tabindex=\"0\">esotericism<\/span>, the combination of psychotherapeutic concepts, spiritual practices, and magical procedures in an eclectic hybrid field.<\/p><p>Research documents this current in <span class=\"iwg-fachbegriff\" tabindex=\"0\" data-tooltip=\"Dutch scholar of esotericism (born 1961); principal work New Age Religion and Western Culture (1996).\">Wouter Hanegraaff<\/span> (&#8220;New Age Religion and Western Culture&#8221;) and in Christopher Partridge (&#8220;The Re-Enchantment of the West&#8221;).
