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.
