Wow the year is progressing fast!  The half month of Sowilo is upon us as of 13th February, the rune of the sun, strenghtening the land and brightening our days.  I don’t know about you but time certainly seems to be speeding up this month, lots of things to do, Mother Nature busy at work, places to go, people to see.  As the sun rises higher in the sky the time for reflection and contemplation comes to an end.  The rune Sowilo represents the sun itself, personified as the Goddess Sunna who rides her chariot across the sky each day.  The shape of the rune suggests eternal motion, the two halves of the rune chasing each other around a central pivot, becoming the sun wheel.  Sowilo is a rune of motion, action, guidance (the position of the sun helping us assess the time and direction), and healing (Sunna is mentioned as a Goddess assisting with bone healing).  

Through January Perthro and Algiz helped us to look inwards, to seek guidance regarding the flow of Wyrd.  With the rise of Sowilo it is time to take action, trusting that you are on the right path and that the energy of the sun will inspire and guide you as you forge ahead.  Use the rune to energise you in the morning, singing its name, allowing its dancing, flowing energy to move through you.  Greet the sun as she climbs  up over the rim of the horizon, celebrate her glory as she breaks through the grey skies of winter, bid her au revoir as she speeds on her way to the other side of the Earth each evening.  Particular goals and projects can be assisted through the use of this rune in candle spells or worn as a talisman – sigilise it in gold or yellow to bring its bright, positive energy into your life.

Spring greetings to you all – may Sowilo bless your path.
