Vetrnætr (Eihwaz)

Late October

The Shedding of Dead Wood
What This Season Is Meant For

As the canopy surrenders its last bronze leaves and frost locks the mire, the veil thins between Midgard and the ancestral Dísir. This season is meant for ruthless pruning and conservation of life-force.

Spiritual Focus (Hugr)

Sever what drains the root; release outgrown obligations and commune with ancestral memory (Minni).

Creative Focus (Craft)

Strip your creative vision down to bone—abandon lukewarm projects and curate only what holds enduring power.

Rite: Prune one unfinished or draining obligation from your slate so your core work can survive the winter.
