The best Elder Futhark runes for fire

Sowilo

The traditional meaning of Sowilo or Sowelo is “sun”, which was seen as a life-giving force in ancient times. Its symbol of two equal halves represents the progress of the sun in its movement throughout the year with the divisions of the winter and summer solstices.

If it is found complementary to Raidho in the rune ring.

Sowelo represents the high spiritual force that directs us along a certain path, while Raidho stands for the act of directing and controlling. Acting as a supreme will, Sowelo is associated with a spiritual guide. It is the essence of your sense of self and your worth.

Sowelo also represents the completeness that is reached with the union of the self with the highest awareness. This rune introduces an impulse for self-realization and to the particular path of life that you must follow. The essential thing is to become aware of your true essence and give it a shape because, after all, what one strives to become is by nature what it already is.

Jeraa – sacred fire

Jera (Jeraa) symbolizes the seasons, the passing of time, destiny, evolution, and improvements, growth, harvest, success, abundance, development, progress, and patience. Jera is the time to reap what has been sown; we must be patient and confidently await what the future holds.

This rune puts us in contact with the concept of perfection, not something formal but something that implies a process of birth, growth, and evolution to reach a final result. It puts us in contact with the concept of time as creative energy capable of bringing concrete results, wisdom is the fruit of experience that is the fruit of time.

From an economic point of view, Jera represents the body of justice, success in business, the proceeds of investment, compensation for damages, the settlement of credits, the collection of payments. From the spiritual point of view, it indicates the conclusion of a dark period and the rebirth of light and hope.

Nauthiz

The traditional meaning of Nauthiz is “need” and its shape resembles that of two sticks rubbed together to light the fire. Just as it is a necessary element for survival, fire is also an element of destruction when it is not properly controlled. Nauthiz rules Nifelhel, the realm of the dragon Nidhog, whose name means “he who gnaws from within”.

Psychologically, Nauthiz represents the shadow of the unconscious that devours our sense of self. It is the place where our fears reside. If left unchecked, fears will keep you from doing constructive things.

This can take the form of a constraint on your creativity or in relationships with others. Nauthiz often indicates an uncomfortable delay or the crossing of a difficult situation. He advises to have patience and to identify the source of the need: it is an emotional need that comes from the fear of failure, or it is material like the need for money.
