casting runes — 14apr26

sowilo
after this long
wræclāst of wander to
stone step ragged roads
marked in wrap and rag
and thorn

light thrusts through
eiderdown above
warming face and stone

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.
