SOWILO<br />

The rune sowilo is the rune of the sun, an active power which either shows itself forth as the<br />

whirling of a wheel or as a thunder- bolt/sword. In either side of its being, the sowilo rune shows the<br />

invincible power of the will. You may note that the sun-wheel or swastika is made of two sowilo runes<br />

laid over each other, showing the being of this rune as a symbol of holiness and source of power whkh is<br />

recognized even beyond the Indo-European world. Unfortunately, this archetypal symbol has had a great<br />

deal of ill thought attached to it as a consequence of its use by the Nazi regime, and hence is used only in<br />

private today because of the distress it causes in those who are unaware of its true meaning. It should be<br />

mentioned that a good number of metaphysically aware people think that the swastika is meant to spin<br />

clockwise (reversed sowilo rune) and that Hitler deliberately made it a symbol of darkness by turning it<br />

back- ward. This is not true. The swastika has been an ancient and honorable sign of power among the<br />

Germanic people for thousands of years-in both its forms. The swastika “reversed” does not change its<br />

being any more than a rune “reversed” does; the ancient rune- workers wrote right to left, left to right, and<br />

alternately back and forth. If rune reversal had any meaning, it would be far harder to make bind-runes<br />

well. In point of fact, although deosil and widdershins are not without meaning in Teutonic magic, they<br />

do not automatically distinguish between works of weal and works of woe.<br />

As the rune of the sun, sowilo is the rune of invincibility and final triumph. The Old Icelandic<br />
