Sigel: Rune of the Sun

Man can but begin to know
the power of the light
its angel brings extinction
yet its grace be pure and white
and if ye should behold the spear
that moment shall be thine
but ye shall ne'er possess it
for its purpose be divine

The Rune Sigel symbolises the Holy Solar Wheel and the vital qualities of daylight. It is the rune of the sun and its light. It is that selfless spiritual quality which resists the forces of death and disintegration. Sigel heralds the triumphant ascendancy of light over darkness, invoking the power of the sun for guidance and healing. Because of this, Sigel is the rune of victory. It is ruled over by the Goddess Sol and the god Balder.

It denotes inspiration, knowledge, vitality, success and health. It has no 'reversed' meaning, being the same symbol whichever way it is positioned.

A very powerful and positive rune symbol.
