Sunnanlēoman from Wurdiz by Sowulo

''Wurdiz, the proto-germanic word for destiny, is all about the dance between fate and free will.

With these songs I intentionally connect to fate and let her initiate me to become a weaver of my own destiny. 
This album is all about relating to fate as the unfolding turning of events. It is the journey of becoming aware of my threads within the tapestry of life.

These compositions express that ‘the mind’ sometimes thinks it can resist or oppose fate,  but instead it has to yield and stand strong together with her.

I let go of my skin, so that fate can carve the truth in my bones.
The truth that was before, that now is and that which will come to be.
 I challenge you to do the same.''

· Rays of sunlight ·  

Hold upright the eternal distaef
Pull the golden fleece  

Rays of sunlight come together, 
Together in the loom of life 
Rays of gold come together,
Together in the tapestry of life   

Rays of sunlight come together
in the tapestry

Hold upright the eternal distaef 
Turn the sun-spindle
Hold upright the eternal distaef
Turn the sun-spindle  

Throw the shuttle spear 
Shoot the golden weft  

Turn the sun-spindle 
Spin the golden thread
