:LUWATUWA:
This runic formula is found on the Vadstena bracteate from c. 500AD.
A powerful one to sing, as in the first half, when sung repetitively, the W sound disappears and the cyclical nature erodes beginning and ending - the Germanic “power word” ALU emerges.
ALU - divine inspiration, devotion, protection.
In the second half, ATU emerges.
Old High German and other PIE derived languages have “atum” as “breath.”
Ātman in Sanskrit is “breath, essence, self.”
Separately, we have runes of flow and permeation; strength and fortitude; joy, fulfillment, family; connection and communication - god energy; truth, guidance, direction.
Together - a powerful prayer of thanks, protection, strength to one’s true self and a help along the righteous way.
