This
Rune stands for wholeness, that which our nature requires. It
embodies the impulse toward self-realization and indicates the
path you must follow, not from ulterior motives but from the
core of your individuality.
Seeking after
wholeness is the quest of the Spiritual Warrior. And yet what
you are striving to bring into form is what, by nature, you
already are. You must become conscious of your essence and bring
it into form, express it in a creative way. A Rune of great
power, and an expression of the life force available to you,
Sowelu marks the time for regeneration right down to
the cellular level.
You may see
fit to withdraw in the face of a pressing situation, especially
if events or people are demanding that you expend your energy
now. Know that such a retreat is a retreat in strength and can
include a voyage inward for centering, for balance. Timely retreat
is among the skills of the Spiritual Warrior.
Sowelu
counsels opening yourself up, letting the Light into a part
of your life that has been secret, shut away. To accomplish
this may call for a profound recognition, for admitting to yourself
something that you have long denied.
Take care,
this Rune is saying, not to give yourself airs. Even in a time
of bountiful energy, you are required to face and vanquish your
refusal to let right action flow through you. Nourish this capacity,
for it is a mark of true humility.
Practice the
art of doing without doing; aim yourself truly and then maintain
your aim without manipulative effort. For by our own power we
do nothing: even in loving, it is love that flows through us.
This way of thinking and being enables us to grow into wholeness,
and that is the ultimate goal of the Spiritual Warrior.
