  • casting runes — 25nov25

    sowilo
    a sputtering candle flame
    from a shack in wildwood
    perhaps there is something
    illuminated in the wode old face

    or maybe just a desire to dream

    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.

  • tossing a rune — 27jun25

    sowilo
    the haze of frost
    clouding vision
    melts away —
    casting sharper shadows
    in the brightness of day

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

    Today’s rune is sowilo, which has a core meaning “sun”. The sun is representative of the source of life, illumination and power.
