casting runes — 10mar26

sowilo
snowflake but
climbing up
shadows slink
to scheme away
whiling until
after the fall

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is sowilo, the sun. Sowilo is the source of enlightenment, for lighting the way and illumination. It is also called the “icebreaker” and gives power to an “attack”, ensuring success and/or prosperity. This rune also represents hope, the light at the end of a long darkness.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
