| Runes - Writing From History |
| Sowelu |
| Runes. An alphabet from history, prehistory almost. There are many ascribed formats of runes, Celtic, Egyptian, Saxon, Norse to name but a few. Which are the "Real" runes - for this you must do your own research as I am not a scholar here, just a small Glasgow woman with many interests. As I make no claim to being a teller of fortunes or one who can see the future, anything you derive or define from this section of the site you bear full and sole responsibility for. |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
Note: Runes have been included in this site for a couple of reasons - firstly they were the ancient Norse
and have also been claimed to be the ancient Celtic form of writing, and secondly just because I happen
to have a personal interest there. Please note - all runic items on this website are for education,
dissemination of information and enjoyment / entertainment only.

There is NO reversed aspect to this Rune. This
rune stands for wholeness, a sense of well being
that is founded in the Suns' energy. It assures the
path towards self realization and completeness of
mind, body and spirit are well underway, if not
nearing completion. A pathway you will recognize
and follow not from direction without, but from
certain knowledge at the core of your individuality.
This symbol is complementary to Teiwaz, the
spiritual warrior, in that it counsels that the primary
battle to be fought is with the self, however it
should be noted here that in many cases, that
which you are striving to become, is in actuality
that which you already are. You are your own
person.
The last counsel here is timely retreat, for such can
be a move made in strength, life, power and
righteousness. It will precede more advancement
