(http://phrets.com/runeforum/images/Sowilo.gif)  Sowilo or Sowelo  S  Sō-wee-lō  AKA  Sigel, Sol, Sunne


Old English

Sigel semannum symble biþ on hihte
ðonne hi hine feriaþ ofer fisces beþ,
oþ hi brimhengest bringeþ to lande.



    The sun is ever a joy in the hopes of seafarers
    when they journey away over the fishes' bath,
    until the courser of the deep bears them to land.

Norwegian

Sól er landa ljóme;
lúti ek helgum dóme.



    Sun is the light of the world;
    I bow to the divine decree.

Icelandic

Sól er skýja skjöldr

ok skínandi röðull
ok ísa aldrtregi.
rota siklingr.


   
    Sun

    shield of the clouds
    and shining ray
    and destroyer of ice.
