The believed magical properties of sowilo symbolize success, victory, and goals achieved, but also honour and health. The name of this rune, sowilo, comes from the Proto-Germanic word for “sun” and has the pronunciation equivalent of “S” in English. It is believed the runic system can be used for communication (writing), divination (to see the future), and invocation (the magic of inviting a spirit or power into yourself to serve a specific purpose). After nine days and nights, the runes appeared to him in the trunk of Yggdrasil. In the Poetic Edda, we learn that Odin, chief of the Norse gods, sacrifices himself to himself by hanging himself on Yggdrasil, the World Tree, in order to learn the secrets of the runes. Each of the 24 Elder Futhark runes is imbued with a powerful secret, which can be unlocked through careful study and meditation. While this predates the Viking Age, which uses a less character heavy but more evolved runic alphabet, the Elder Futhark runic alphabet has become important to modern Norse and Asatru cultures since the early modern age due to their proposed magical properties. This rune is part of the 24-character Elder Futhark runic system, which is the oldest form of the various runic alphabets used by the Germanic tribes of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Northern Germany approximately 160AD to 700AD.
