“The Moon Doesn’t Judge Me”
An Original Poem by: Axton N.O. Mitchell
The moon doesn’t judge
the darkness I bring.
I can lay out everything
my tangled weeds
my gnarled bits
the strange mechanics
that make me tick.
Even when unseen
I feel her energy linger.
In the hush of a new moon
she shows me
how we’re in tune.
The moon doesn’t judge
the weight of my shadow.
She feels it all
through every phase
and still she stays.
Learning her rhythm
is learning myself.
Each cycle
an act of self-love.
There’s something deeply bittersweet about missing the moon.
Every time the full moon rises, I feel a tug at my chest. It is something ancient and soft. It calls me to pause. But most of the time I’m not lighting candles or laying out cloth under its glow. I’m under fluorescent lights instead clocked in doing the work that keeps me afloat.
Right now, I am sitting under the moon. I am charging my stones. I am not waiting until tomorrow. I am doing it now. This moment is already sacred because I am present. I will renew my intentions and affirmations again tomorrow night. I will continue to recharge these stones monthly under every full moon.
On my break, I held stones in my hands. I spoke like someone who already knows their magic is working. I whispered truths I’m ready to live in, not just hope for. I didn’t ask the moon for anything. I affirmed what is already happening. It is already becoming, already mine.
I set intentions for stability and creative expansion for momentum that doesn’t burn me out. I set intentions for clarity, protection, grounded joy, and long-lasting purpose. I set them not from a place of lacking but from a place of embodiment. I chose each phrase carefully. I viewed them not like a wish list but like an oath.
Because when we set intentions we’re not begging the universe we’re building it
We’re saying this is what I am becoming this is what already lives inside me this is what is inevitable because I choose to keep showing up
Two stones carried the heart of this moment for me Libyan Desert Glass and Moldavite.
Libyan Desert Glass, born of heat and impact, is the kind of stone that doesn’t whisper. It tells you that you are building something real. It’s not a stone of fast thrills. It’s about legacy. It’s about a long-term vision and foundations you can return to. That’s why I carry it. It reminds me that the slow, steady burn of my current work is establishing a foundation. This foundation is something my future self can stand on.
Moldavite that one needs its own moment.
Moldavite has been sensationalized by TikTok. It’s portrayed as a chaos crystal, a drama bomb, and a remedy for all bad things. There’s a belief that it also makes your exes vanish. But that’s not what it is, not really.
Moldavite doesn’t repel it calls. It protects. It is beautiful and powerful. It commands respect.
It amplifies what you set. If you pair it with panic, it will magnify panic. If matched with unresolved grief or bitter wishes, it magnifies those as well. Just take it all away, and you’ll see what it magnifies. That storm. That purge. That mess. It’s not because it’s evil, but because you told it to.
Moldavite is a stone of momentum. It says I’ll bring it faster, louder, and now. If you unintentionally focus on chaos, fear, or destruction, it will return that energy. It will echo back in ways that you’re not ready for.
So I use it carefully.
With Moldavite, I speak only what I want. I accelerate aligned growth and creative expansion. I gain spiritual clarity and purpose that doesn’t break me.
And it answers. Always.
If you’ve ever missed a full moon because life got in the way know this it still sees you.
And you can still make the moment sacred
Even if it’s in your work uniform Even if it’s between tasks Even if it’s just a whisper
It counts
You count
And the moon is still so so proud.
If you can’t perform your full moon ritual outdoors or at work, you can charge your stones differently. Set them on a windowsill during the full moon’s glow. The moonlight will reach them there. It will carry the energy you intend. Just focus on your intentions before you leave.
And if you miss the full moon altogether, a Selenite charging jar can gently cleanse and recharge your stones anytime. If you want to learn how to make one or buy a beautiful handcrafted jar, just ask . I can connect you with a friend who makes them.
