Traditional lore – Sowilo represents Sunna, the sun, divinity, sacred power.
Animistic lore – Sowilo reminds us that we are divine, and that all divinity is connected, and that we have to act through our sacredness. In Runic Book of Days, of Algiz I note, “We rest to honor and heal from what we have toiled to accomplish so that we can be ready to move forward implementing that wisdom.“
Sowilo as runes oracle – A bright, uplifting rune, Sowilo indicates that interdependence and belonging are our natural way of being, in form.
Sowilo brings the concepts of community and relationality
into lived, tangible need and practice.
