The turning of the year always arrives quietly for me at first, and then all at once.
Somewhere between Walpurgis Night and Beltane, something shifts.
Walpurgis Night sits at the threshold — wild, untamed, a little uncertain.
It’s the place of instinct, of listening, of standing in the dark and asking: what feels true now?
This card came through as the wolf.
Guided not by noise or expectation, but by something deeper and quieter.
A reminder to trust that inner pull, even when the path isn’t fully visible.
And then Beltane arrives.
Not as a beginning, exactly — but as an ignition.
A gathering of energy. A decision to step forward.
This card became the bees and the starburst of colour — movement, making, doing.
The small, consistent acts that build something real over time.
This year, I feel myself moving between the two.
Out of a period of preparation, thinking, circling ideas…
and into something more active.
Not perfectly. Not completely.
But enough to say: this is happening now.
I’ve made work.
I’ve submitted it.
I’m continuing anyway.
There’s something powerful in that — not waiting for everything to be finished or certain, but allowing things to exist in progress.
These cards mark that shift for me:
From instinct → into action
From reflection → into making
From holding back → into putting work into the world
The practice continues.
The rhythm is forming.
And I’m stepping into it.
