Today's #WIPSnip is the aftermath of yet another Thor and Loki adventure. Anyone want to take a guess as the which myth this is? #writing #writingcommunity #fantasy #retelling #Norse

Today's pulls. The rune Mannaz is the rune of self. It tells us to stay strong in your identity. Combined with the card Seven of Wands, the card of inner fire and self-reliance, today is a day for self-confidence. The Firefly remind us that inspiration is fleeting. Seize your creativity.

The rune wunjo remind us to find joy wherever we can. We need joy as the card Ten of Wands points to overwork and burnout, but also achievement. The Hyena uses wit and sarcasm to expression their truth, but underneath are unfulfilled dreams. Take your dreams seriously and find your joy.

Today's rune and card pull. The Eihwaz rune tells us to have inner strength. Associated with the yew tree, it protects us and those around us. The Two of Pentacles card reminds us to stay balanced and be prepared for inevitable change.

Today's rune and card. Elder Futhark Mannaz tells us to be self-confident and strong in our identity. The Five of Swords warns us of self-destructive behavior. We have the power to tear ourselves apart or to pull ourselves together. We must choose which path to follow.
