Sunna s (Sol) is the Sun personified in Norse mythology.
She is described as the sister of the
personified moon, Manni, the daughter of Mundilfari and is foretold to be
killed by a monstrous wolf during the events of Ragnarok. She was a
human who rose to the rank of Goddess due to the Gods. Sunna has blonde hair with golden curls that looked like rays of
sunshine. Sunna
like the ‘sun’ was always kind and generous to her people brining light
wherever she went.
Rudolf Simek stated that Nordic Bronze Age archaeological finds, such as
rock carvings and the Trundholm Sun chariot, provide evidence of the Sun having
been viewed as a life giving heavenly body to the Bronze Age Scandinavians and
that the Sun likely received an amount of respect.
The Sun is approximately 4.5 billion years old. As the largest object in the sky, the Sun is
the source of light, heat, and life. It
can also be a symbol of destructive power. Since earliest times, people in all parts of
the world have observed the position of the Sun and its rising and setting
throughout the year. Many cultures have
created solar calendars to govern such things as the planting of crops and the
timing of religious festivals. They have
also given the Sun a major place in their mythologies, often as a deity.
When the world was created from the body of the dead giant Ymir by the triad Gods of Odin, Vili
and Ve - the Sun, Moon and Stars were made from the gathered sparks that shot
forth from Muspellsheim, the Land of Fire.
Sunna drives the chariot of the Sun across the sky every day. Pulled by the horses Allsvinn and Arvak, the
Sun chariot is pursued by the wolf Skoll. It is said that sometimes he comes so close
that he is able to take a bite out of the Sun, causing an eclipse.
On Midsummer Eve, Sunna's
strength begins to decline, and those who honor her gather to celebrate this
passage. For the Pagan religions of
Northern Europe, this is the Sabbat of Midsummer. Songs are sung, poems are read, libations and
toasts fill the air. In honor of the
strength of light and warmth that are Sunna's blessing, fire is a central part
of the celebration at this Sabbat.
Despite the wolf Skoll catching
and killing Sunna, not all is lost. Like
the other Gods at the end of Ragnarok, light still shines on the Earth. Before her death, she gives birth to a
daughter as beautiful as her mother and she shall ride her mother's road. The daughter survives with the Sun to aid and
guide humanity after the destruction of the world as we know it. She heals the world, knitting together the
fragmented pieces of life after the chaos of Ragnarok.
Sunday (Sun's day) is a day of
rest in most Western countries, part of the weekend. Sunday is associated with the Sun and
symbolized by its symbol ☉.
Sowulo s rune represents the power
of the Sun. In almost every religion in the world, the Sun is held
most sacred. To the Norse, the sun was
known as Sunna or Sol and was considered feminine. The sun’s light and warmth
symbolizes life, nurturing, growth and all that is good. In
some Northern cultures, they start their day at sunset and usually begin their
year in the winter months. (This is why
many Sun and Moon images show the Moon ahead of the Sun)
