Moonly / Yearly Review 🌔 Judgement Day
Where Michał eye gazes his Shadows, meets a Wizard, and finally Speaks.
As I keep looking at the night sky the Moon gently reminds me that it ain't no New Moon no more and I still haven't sent you my Moonly Letter.
I got delayed because a part of me wanted to turn my first Moonly of the year into a yearly review, and I didn't know what to write.
January is freaking tough. It's cold and dark and all the internal poop comes out to hang out unavoidably right in front of my face 💩 I'm kinda used to this yearly cleaning process, and yet it doesn't get easier.
2023 felt like some kind of turning point. I spent the New Years Eve weaving all the different pieces into a page in my journal, which was precisely the kind of quality time with myself that I was craving that night.
As I came back to Amsterdam the internal shadows sat right in front of me. Instead of turning away, I took the invitation for this bizarre silent eye gazing game, both uncomfortable and profound.
As I kept looking little breadcrumbs kept showing up. A card. A conversation. A poster in a park. One day I woke up at 4am again, but this time full of energy and started drawing. A few pages of scribbles later shapes started to resemble something that makes sense.
I was looking for a theme of sorts for 2024, and what I landed on is Pieces Coming Together. My Deck of Life is full of absolutely epic cards and I don't need more deckbuilding to play an amazing combo. It's time to put the cards on the table.
(Speaking of cards, I feel I finally landed on 💧🌳🤍 as my MTG colour combination. Let's see if I can figure out what card am I. Proposals welcome 😊)
Armed with this important insight, I followed the lead of my Spinachian Guide and found myself in a magickal studio of a Card Wizard right in my favourite part of Amsterdam, weaving together Card Lore and some of my favourite decks - Akinado, Flapper and Wild Cards. She then offered a powerful Tarot reading, which brought tremendous clarity and was the final spark I needed.
After all Judgement showed up, and it demands to speak out loud and do so immediately.
Okay, Card, I hear you.
I left my phone at home, and spent the last weekend Wizard Walking, which eventually brought me into a ship-looking power place. With one of the widest stretches of water in the city right in front of me, wind blowing powerfully right in my face, and a purple sailing ship that keeps calling me since I first seen her moored a few meters away I did SPEAK.
Last Nowhere, a wise woman shared with me about the Listening - the constant process weaving what we say out loud into the tapestry of the Universe. I definitely feel heard.
I've been waiting to make a card for this year, and it finally became clear. I don't like it visually, and I also don't care. For now, more than beauty, I want to keep seeing it every day on my altar.
It says:
A sailing vessel where I learn a lot, travel the world, feel at home.
The feeling of home is not just myself and the vessel. I'm an Aquarius. Home is the Crew.
Wishing you a beautiful 2024. May it bring all your pieces together in the most delightfully fantastic way.
Love and Light,
Michał
ps. I passed my first round of sailing exams with flying colours and the 3rd result in the school 🎉 Second round in mid March. LFG ⛵️.
