Sowelu Rune meaning and symbolism
The Sowelu Rune is the most powerful of the Runes in the energy department. Sowelu is extremely masculine-side energy. It draws energy from everything, especially the sun. This would be a good time to get things accomplished. When personal relationships or love is involved, Sowelu’s energy brings great PASSION. Remember: When this much energy surrounds you, take a step back and don’t rush into things. It is easy to be sucked in at this time.
The difficulty with Sowelu is in knowing how to channel its power. This is definitely a time to look before you leap, because sometimes we don’t want things after we get them. When Sowelu is present in a casting, you have the ability to make anything happen. What a responsibility!

Origin of Sowelu Runic Symbol
Sowilo (*sōwilō), meaning “sun”, is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic language name of the s-rune (ᛊ, ᛋ).
The letter is a direct adoption of Old Italic (Etruscan or Latin) s (𐌔), ultimately from Greek sigma (Σ). It is present in the earliest inscriptions of the 2nd to 3rd century (Vimose, Kovel).
The name is attested for the same rune in all three Rune Poems. It appears as Old Norse and Old Icelandic Sól and as Old English Sigel.
