SOWILO

Germanic Sun God 🌞

Also known as Sæwelō, Sigel, Sowilō, Sunne

The Sun

Germanic prototype of Norse Sol. The old rune of his name looks like a flash of light and in modern times was pinched by the Nazis for their SS logo. Sowilo denies all responsibility and implores all humans to play nicely.
