Man. It’s been one hell of a year.

New Years is probably my favorite holiday out of all of them. It’s secular; but beyond that, I draw personal meaning from it because 1. I have absolutely no concept of time and it helps me kind of keep track of things that happen in my life 2. It is a time to reflect on your growth as a person. 

The latter is part of the reason that I keep a journal here on tumblr. It’s partly a way of me sharing my experiences with others, but for the most part it is a way of documenting my experiences, so that I can go back and look through them - either as a means of analysis, or of reflection.

So I went through all of my posts from this year (it took quite a while!) and here is what happened for me this year:

January - I went to the Fae Court for the first time... Holy fuck I cannot believe that that was this year! It seems like I started doing that ages ago. I kind of miss working with the Fae... and Prince...

I had my first day of school… Damnn also cannot believe that that happened this year. Seems like eons ago. I had a good first semester before all of the schools went online lol.

February - I met one of my guides - GG... That’s right! He came into my life when I was having a particularly hard time. GG stands for “Gentle Giant” an endearing, descriptive nickname that I’ve given him. He’s like a giant lumberjack, with insanely strong Autumn energy and vibes... like anytime I’m around him the visuals is all just golden forests

I got really sick... I do remember this. I was sick for a whole month straight - with what one of my professors dubbed “the cold from hell.” I don’t think I’ve ever been that sick before... it broke me lol and it took me months to recover practice-wise.

March - Because of being sick, this month was particularly uneventful. Oh also Covid happened lol

April - I started an herb garden... I made an herb garden in some mason jars!! It was a mixed-bag of success. It was mostly herb-dependent, some worked really well, others did not.

I opened up to my best-friend about my Path... Prior to this, literally no one in my life irl knew about anything going on with me spiritually. They didn’t even know I was spiritual; I was very closeted and careful. But this year, I actually opened up about it to pretty much everyone that I am close with; I’m grateful for that.

May - I met Skadi in a dream! I started having strangely lucid dreams where I was confronted and working with some strong female deity. I would discover later that it was the Norse Goddess of Winter, Skadi.

June - Speaking of which, I started working with Skadi! We made a contract, and I’ve been working with her ever since. I never thought that I’d be doing any deity work when I started out; it’s been interesting to say the least. I’m grateful for her patronage, and oversight.

Midsummer Celebration... I was invited by Prince to celebrate with him in the Fae Court. It was a wild experience - one I will never forget.

July - This month was insanely busy, so I will be succinct:

I took a trip home... along with that, I took my second homeopathic remedy. I was out of sorts mentally... this stabilized me, and I decided to be completely sober shortly thereafter (I only smoked pot recreationally)

At Skadi’s behest, I started learning runes...

I bought a massive crystal collection, and started working with them energetically...

I met Ca! She’s a Fae that is related to Prince; she will end up being a mentor of sorts for me later on, once I start doing Past Life work.

My discernment improved dramatically; things were fuzzy at best before this

I became a teacher at RAMA!

August - I began to have some past life experiences... I didn’t know what they were at the time, though.

September - I started school again... still online

There were massive wildfires here in Oregon...

I experimented with Astral Projection - I think I’ve come to the conclusion that Projection and Travel are the same thing

October - Autumn!

First time visiting The Cosmic Place and doing past-life stuff with Ca... this would dominate my practice for the next while.

I stopped working with Prince

November - I flew back home for the holidays... This month wasn’t too eventful spiritually, as I was very occupied with family and finishing up school.

December - Homeopathic Remedy #3... this was different than the other two, and its’ experience was beyond words. But I’ve definitely grown energetically, and I feel more stable emotionally.

The first time visiting The Temple in the astral... After my remedy, I began having new sets of experiences in the astral, The Temple being one of them. It is still currently dominating my attention at the moment.

The Vision... I’ve been having a vision for the past couple of years... and on the Solstice/Conjunction, my family took a spontaneous trip up to a cabin in the mountains, where it was fulfilled. Massive energy upgrade.

Very crazy! What a year! Despite how hard the year was, I really grew a lot, and I’m thankful for it. Also, reading through my old journal posts - I feel like I was so cocky lol. I feel like I’ve matured more as a person, too. I also feel much older than I was at the beginning of the year.

I am looking forward to what opportunities and lessons 2021 will bring.

That’s it for now.

Blessings!

what are your favorite shows this season? and is there anything with yuri besides otherside and gekidol?

Favourite show is easily Wonder Egg Priority rn, which also just so happens to be pretty yuri heavy right now. It’s not as explicit as Gekidol has been, nor as explicit as Otherside apparently becomes, but there’s quite a bit of gay already and I do think we should be expecting more. But yeah the show’s general structure and aesthetic and method of storytelling has resonated with me in a way I’ve not felt since I watched Flip Flappers in 2018. And I’m quite vocal about the fact that I think that show has a lot of glaring flaws as its run goes on, with everything from episode 8 and onwards being pretty damn weak, but even then I have Flip Flappers in my top 10 favourites and it’s sitting at 9/10. If WEP can stay good then we’re looking at an easily guaranteed 10/10 and a spot in my top 5 I’d say, like I love this show loads already. It’s also appropriately terrifying for me, because if something I love this much does go to complete shit I’ll feel bad, but hey.

Aside from WEP, it’s looking like Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori and Dr Stone are my favourites of the season, in that order currently. Should WEP go to shit they’re all shoe-ins for anime of the season. Senku’s also pretty much confirmed Boy of the Season for me as well. Shimarin Girl of the Season depending on WEP again.

Fortunately most everything else I’m watching is something I’m enjoying, but those 4 are definitely the favourites.

Sorao cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee

Anyway Urasekai Picnic episode 5 was one I sorta flip-flopped on as I was watching. When it’s them just drinking, eating, having fun? I liked it. When it turns into them in the Otherside? I really liked it. I wanted to know how we got here, I felt pretty unsettled. But then it turned into a chase scene, and this show is bad at those. As is always the case, there was no real attempt at establishing location or distance between the pursuers and the pursued, and in this case specifically Sorao and Toriko are moving so slowly whereas their pursuers are shot as moving so fucking fast that I just, couldn’t suspend my disbelief, couldn’t follow it, couldn’t care. They’re saved by funny Engrish soldiers and I also don’t like that because taking them to a military camp makes this feel way more like any normal survival story than the series’ usual take on atmospheric horror. I started this episode liking it and came out disliking it, is the point.

Also I forgot to bring it up last week but it applies to this episode too so I get to bring it up - what the fuck happened to Sorao’s heterochromia? She’s just not been drawn with the blue eye for the past 2 episodes and it’s lame as hell, smh.
