(side note: before I post today’s reading I wanted to acknowledge that yesterday’s rune did not make it on the website. I was very busy with other AtN-related work and somehow it just didn’t happen – you can always find the runes Monday through Saturday on the public discord server and members’ FB page too) now back to our regularly scheduled Rune pull.
Happy Thor’s day. It is a good day to recognize our strengths and to share our strengths with those who have not found their own. I do so love when the universe lines up the runes and the days as a double reminder – YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH for whatever you are asked to face!
