Happy First Day of Spring! After today, we have more light than dark, so it seems fitting to talk about Sunnudagr…
Sunnudagr carries the fire of Sól, daughter of Mundilfari, the light that moves because it must.
She does not ride in triumph. Her chariot burns its way across the sky, drawn by Árvakr, ever-early and Alsviðr, tireless and swift. The day is born from their labor, not from rest.
Behind her runs the wolf Sköll, his shadow stretched long across the skies. He is not chaos unbound but Urðr (fate) given teeth and hunger. Sól knows he follows and still, she runs.
Every dawn is an act of courage, each sunrise is defiance. She gives light not because the world is safe but because it needs her to survive.
At the world’s ending, her path will close. Fear not, for the light is not extinguished. From her passing comes renewal and a daughter will rise to carry the sun into a world that is made new.
On Sunnudagr, as we rise to face the day, we do more than welcome her warmth. We honor persistence with the will to rise with darkness close behind.
May we meet each day as Sól does, moving forward, burning bright and carrying hope. Even when the chase is never far away.
