💫 Daily Reflection

The Waxing Gibbous moon, 67% illuminated, casts its gentle, increasing light on this Tuesday. With Samhain just seventeen days away, a shift is palpable, a gradual drawing inward mirroring the darkening nights. Today, aligned with Týr’s steady resolve, we encounter the rune Pertho, a symbol of the Norns’ dice-cup and the mysteries yet to unfold. There’s an invitation to acknowledge what is still taking shape, to observe the rising light and the approaching veil with quiet contemplation. Like the moon building towards fullness, and then towards shadow, we navigate a path rich with unseen possibilities, grounded in the present moment.
