The Day When... She Took Flight (Volume 2)

A "feel-good" comic full of optimism!

Since meeting Antoine, the wise grocer, Clémentine has changed quite a few things in her life.

But she still hasn't found what she was looking for: happiness and peace. When she returns to the grocery store, Antoine is no longer there. Simon, a physicist-beekeeper, has taken his place.

Thanks to him, Clémentine will glimpse all the possible life paths available to her. But how does she find the right one? To find out, there's only one solution... Try!

✨ Review from Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

With "Elle a pris son envol" (She took flight), Beka and Marko continue Clémentine's initiatory quest by delving into an essential truth: the spiritual path is never linear, and inner transformation does not guarantee immediate peace. This second volume subtly explores the frustration of those who, after "doing the work," wonder why happiness still eludes them. Antoine's absence and the arrival of Simon the physicist-beekeeper beautifully illustrate the principle that each stage of the journey requires a different guide, adapted to our evolving needs. Simon's character, who combines science (physics) and nature (beekeeping), embodies this wisdom that reconciles rationality and intuition, head and heart. Beka skillfully weaves in the quantum concept of "possible life paths," evoking the multiverse theory to illustrate that our life is made of choices and infinite potentialities. The central message – "to find the right path, you have to try" – resonates as a powerful antidote to contemporary decision-making paralysis and the quest for the perfect way. The authors advocate a pragmatic philosophy of experimentation rather than passive contemplation. Marko's drawing continues to create that benevolent atmosphere that makes this series a true companion for seekers of meaning. A volume that celebrates the courage to try, fail, and start again, reminding us that taking flight sometimes requires several attempts before finding one's wings. An essential comic for all those who are in that intermediate phase where one has started to change but is still searching for direction. This book naturally finds its place at Grimoire Ancien, where we honor the winding paths of transformation and the wisdom of experimentation.
