Happy Sunna’s day!! Todays tune is Yr. We know this as the death rune, or the rune of the underworld. On one hand it reminds me that I have some trance work to dive back into. On the other, tomorrow is my birthday. The death of another version of myself as a take another trip around the sun. It’s kind of surreal, if younger me were asked, I would not have thought I’d have made it this far and accomplished so much. So cheers to many more to come!

Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;
it is wont to crackle when it burns.
