Sowilo Rune Meaning: The Sun and Victory
Draw one of the 24 Elder Futhark runes as your rune of the day, with its glyph, name and meaning.
Sowilo
The sun: victory, clarity and life force — the direction is confirmed, proceed in daylight.
Sowilo is the sun — to the sailors of the rune poems, the hope that names the harbor; to everyone else, the force that ends winter. Its zigzag stroke looks like a sunbeam or a bolt of lightning: light with momentum behind it.
It closes the second aett at position sixteen, answering the hail that opened it: the storm row ends in sunshine. As a daily rune Sowilo confirms direction — the course is right, the energy is there, act while the light holds.
