Moonly Review 🌑 From the Roots to the Stars
Where Michał wraps up Sweden and goes to Poland to reconnect with his family.
Hi lovely human!
I'm chilling in the garden of the library where I spent many hours during my high school times. Apparently it's my "reconnect with the town of birth" day. I'm really, really enjoying Kraków, which is kinda the first time in years. I'm also really enjoying Poland (the land) a lot. Maybe it's because I haven't been here during summer in around a decade, or maybe it's something else. In any case – a very pleasant feeling.
I’ve been blessed to discover a magickal place in Poland together with a magickal creature.
Being with the family is not easy, but I feel I'm making some kind of progress. I'm getting closer with my sister, which is wonderful, and I'm trying to support mum who definitely needs support, and that feels good too. My relationship with dad feels still beyond my capacity, and perhaps luckily, he decided to spend this time away from home, which makes more space to connect with the women in my family.
My 97 year old granny (bless her!), with my mum and sister.
It feels good to revisit my roots every now and then. While not easy, there's something very nutritious there, and I feel that I'm learning a lot about myself. I definitely didn't drink enough Ayahuasca to be able to constantly radiate love, but I'm slowly getting there. It helps to take off the shoes and go into the forest to recalibrate. I'm so grateful for these moments.
My visit in Sweden feels now long, long time ago, but the aftermath is still radiating bright. I took part in my second Aya ceremony, and the first time in Daime tradition, and loved every minute of it. I can still tune in to that feeling of spaciousness, from which the divine wisdom can shine through me. All I need is to make space for it, which is particularly challenging in my family home, but the level of difficulty is appropriate to the level of the player, so I wouldn't expect nothing else, and hey – I'm all here for it.
I've been also summarising pages of notes from the Styrsö Sessions where I have been developing WildCards with Dan. It's becoming clear that I need to radically prioritise creating as much stability and supportive environment for my next months so I can catalyse this project with all my wizard superpowers. I'm excited for this new level of my career and I'm ready to build up a little treasure chest of resources so I can start building my Pico Paradise next year. Plus go to Burning Man. Plus go to New Zealand for six months. Great wishes indeed 🙃.
Speaking of wishes...
As I looked through my old journal I found the yearly review and damn... The wishlist is going very strong. And the next one just progressed into a concrete plan in my calendar – The Atlantic Crossing!
That's a massive deal for me. I was dreaming of crossing the Atlantic for years, at least since leaving Edinburgh, which feels like 17 lifetimes ago.
Not only am I getting the Atlantic Crossing – I'm getting the LONGEST Atlantic crossing, and on one of my favourite ships – Tecla, rigged like a dream, tough like a tank, and absurdly comfortable (2 people cabins each with a private toilet and shower).
We start on the 6th of December from Tenerife and sail SSW for 5500 nautical miles all the way to Falkland Islands. It's a 46-day adventure, and pretty much all of it is just pure continuous sailing. I absolutely can't wait, even more since yesterday when I had a call with the captain and she is awesome. Plus – there's a colony of penguins in Falklands, and I miss these little funsters a lot since Antarctica.
Are you feeling a little tingling of adventure in your stomach? Reach out and let's get you on board!
I also made this little form to start collecting your sailing dreams. Add yours and let's make them happen!
Next steps:
Portugal. I have been completely torn between going to Pico for two weeks or going to TDF for a month, and while I still haven't landed on the final decision, I feel that my body is desperate for less movement. I don't want to rush Azores, and next time I go there I want to spent a proper chunk of time and start building. But to build I need resources. To get resources I need energy, and I'm spending too much of it lately on moving around. It's a tough decision, and also such a privilege to be deciding between two fantastic options.
Okay, it's time to bounce for another stroll around Kraków, and I have a sunset magic spell to perform that I haven't managed to make space for yet. Luckily, there is the perfect hill in a forest and the weather looks just right for spell casting.
Let's Wizard away!
Wishing you a wonderful moon cycle 🤍
Michał
