On the way to the treasure island, the crew gets caught in a storm and they strand on an island.
This might still be the island where the mysterious treasure is meant to be.
While parts of the crew try to find a way to leave the island, others look for the treasure.

prompt: "Charm"

Carrying this protective charm,
Your body will be free from harm,
Youโ€™ll stand on steady, solid ground,
Your fortunes safe, investments sound,
And countless coins will fill your purse.
But read the words inscribed in verse,
Whose cryptic warnings clearly say
To shield your soul requires you pray.

Pulled my card for the secular year #2023 ahead:

Sometimes, the only way to make progress in something, is to . Sometimes, the only way to protect the good, is to attack the bad.

It's not ideal -- no one wants friction, or , or , not between others, and not within themselves; however, there comes a point where other options have failed, and the only thing left to do, is fight.

And while sometimes those targets are external, sometimes they are internal as well.

Montu attacks the enemies of and protects truth and order in the process. He is the swift falcon and the strong bull. He is the blistering rays of falling upon the world -- ensure you strengthen Ma'at as your shield in all things! He wields many -- swords, knives, arrows -- in His strikes. He is the Raging One Who prevails, and His rage is righteous and justified.

Montu Who Shines in the Sky, Who dispels the darkness in His sights. He is the wind, like Amun, and the sun, like Ra. He emerges from Nun to watch over the Earth, Who illuminates and protects the land, Who stands strong in the East with arms raised, the rays of Ra Himself on the horizon.

May guide your arrows.

Images: my Kemetic oracle cards in a custom case I designed and made for them -- in one photo, the case is open, and the Montu card sits face-up on top. In the other, the case has its lid on, the lid has my Kemetic name on top and an image of Wepwawet, as well as a brass Wepwawet figurine and a small beaded . Everything except the cards is my creation.

This ring with engraved is dated to the 17th century. Post antique sigils can usually easily be differentiated from ones as is the case here.
