As the Waning Crescent moon, 22% illuminated, gently guides us, Samhain draws near in just two days. This Wednesday, aligned with Woden and the swift energies of Mercury, invites quiet reflection. The rune Raidho reminds us that life is a journey, a “wheeled way” demanding mindful timing and an attunement to our personal rhythm. Embrace this period of release and anticipation. Consider the path you’ve traveled and the wisdom gained. Let the subtle currents of the season shape your thoughts, preparing you for the turning wheel ahead with grace and grounded intention.
