Has anyone noticed how similar this rune and Harry Potter’s scar look? They are literally identical. Makes you wonder if Rowling knew about Runes and chose the lightning bolt for the shape of his scar BECAUSE of the rune. Especially when you consider what’s written about Sowilo: activates the highest values, promotes dedication and persistence in any endeavor, wards against harmful opinions, keeps the heart focused on its purpose, ancient code of honour, rune of success and victory. All that is seen in Harry.

Thanks for that, using the runes for divination is sure not clear cut is it?! Guese its the way they all seem to connect to each other in the cast that i want to feel into. Even when a rune is at a slight angle to another seems significant to me. And at the same time i could drive myself mad seeking guidance this way! I feel like the honorable thing for me to do right now, is to get to know the runes, without asking any more of them, for the time being. I asked around the issue of whether to speak up about my feelings for someone last night and today, the third time i asked i got perthro and really felt like the runes were saying ‘look we have shown you what we can, we dont know everything!’ I have been taking dream journeys with the drum, and working with a few different spirit guides for a couple of years now. So now I am feeling to take a journey with each rune, over time, just to ask if there is anything the associated energies would like to share with me. I have almost started to feel a bit rude asking the runes for help before i have even really met them properly. These are my thoughts, any reflections or guidance gratefully received. These are powerful energies and i wouldn’t want to play around inappropriately, i strive for good conduct in the things i do. Thanks for being here at the start of my rune journey, love and good things Amie

There are three approaches. Some think that only a rune that is up-side down counts as a ‘reversed’ interpretation. Others that one face down is the murk stave. Still others, and I am more of this camp, believe you should always consider the negative and positive — that the runes transcend that kind of dualism and are whole — both positive and negative.

For my own personal use, I will always treat a face down rune as a murk-stave or shadow aspect. Moreover, I always contemplate both sides, because for every blessing there’s a curse, and some things must be sacrificed for new things to arise. Hope this helps. For more help with the runes, visit runesecrets.net … hope to see you around.

Greetings, i love this site. I am pretty new to using the runes, yet i feel them in my bones. I just wondered if anyone can enlighten me on the significance of casting a rune which is converse, naturally, as i lay the rune as it falls in my hand, often the side which is blank (the back of the rune) is the side facing up and i need to turn it over to reveal the character. I just had a very positive cast around a particular issue, that is, if it stands the same as the runes appear now that i have turned the converse ones over ( without affecting the direction ie reverse or upright). Sowilo was one of them. Does this question make sense? A
Any experience or general understanding around this would be gratefully recieved. Much gratitude for this site xxx xxx

SOWELU (as I’m used to invoke it) has brought me such strengh and guidance that’s beyond belief! Besides recovering my self confidence in 2007, SOWELU has ever since gathered the right people/masters into my life. Alongside ALGIZ, it also shielded my sanity and bones from several threats.

Tyriel, congratulations for this awesome site!

Vanr, you made me think of the Sowilo symbol as Kenaz, top to bottom:

(can’t get them any closer with the keyboard and spacing, but you get my meaning? when joined, top to bottom, they form the Sowilo symbol.)
