Story
It represents the life-giving force of the sun and personal empowerment. However, in the 20th century, the Nazis appropriated this rune—stylising it into the “Sig rune” (ᛋ) used as the symbol of the SS. Heinrich Himmler, obsessed with Germanic mysticism, used it to represent victory and power. Today, many seek to reclaim Sowilo’s true meaning as a sacred symbol of illumination and soul triumph, distinct from its dark misuse in Nazi propaganda.
