A Prayer to Sunna

Hail Sunna, golden-haired one, driver of the celestial chariot!

You who rise each morning to banish the shadows, who paints the world in glowing hues of gold and amber, our Folk greet you with open hearts. Your radiant light touches the land and life awakens. The birds sing your praise, the flowers turn their faces to your warm gaze, and Miðgarðr itself seems to smile under your brilliance. You are the great pursuer of darkness, the bringer of warmth, the promise of a new beginning. Bright Lady, we ask that you share a spark of your boundless, radiant joy.

Let your golden rays pierce the clouds of our own hearts, chasing away any shadows of sorrow and doubt.

Let your gentle warmth melt any frost of weariness or cynicism that has settled upon our spirits.

Help us to see the beauty in our paths with the same clarity that you illuminate the world.

Fill us with your vibrant, divine energy, that we might face our days with spirits as bright and unwavering as your own.

May we always joyfully outpace the wolf behind us, as you do each day!

As you journey across the sky today, may we carry your radiant light within us, a beacon of warmth, happiness, and love for ourselves and for those we meet. Thank you for your strength and life-giving glow, and the beautiful, profound joy of a sunlit day.

Hail Sunna! ᛋ ᚹ
