As the Waning Gibbous moon releases its light, we find ourselves on Friday, a day resonant with Freyja’s warmth and Frigg’s domestic embrace. The energies of Venus invite us to cherish beauty and connection. The rune Mannaz reminds us that our individual path is woven into the tapestry of kinship and community. It’s a time for remembering our place among others, honoring the good of our ‘tribe,’ and reflecting on shared memories. With Samhain just over a month away, this gentle ebb of lunar light encourages us to nurture these bonds, letting go of what no longer serves the collective good, and appreciating the intricate dance of self within the wider world.
