SIGEL

In ancient Northern mythology Sigel represented the Sun and the Solar orb was often regarded as a goddess. The keynote of this rune is health matters and if it is in a good position the querent will enjoy good health.

It can also relate to a lack of vital force, so this should be borne in mind. It may simply mean that the person concerned should get out into the Sunshine more as, in moderation, the Solar rays can have a beneficial healing effect on both the mind and body.

On the occult level Sigel represents the higher self. In a mythic sense the Sun is seen as a guiding light to seafarers, enabling them to pilot their ships across the ocean.

The symbolism of the Sun and the sea linked together in this rune is another example of the union of the opposites, as also represented by fire and ice.
