“Wunjo” refers to a letter in the Rune alphabet.
Runes in general, reference an alphabet that was used in Northern Europe before the eventual adoption of the Latin alphabet. The earliest runic inscriptions date from around 150 AD. Each rune, often made of bone, wood or stone was imprinted with a carved symbol, has a name and a sound, as well as a given meaning. Like Chinese characters, Runes can represent a letter as well as a “concept “, or word, and thus sometimes used for fortune telling and divinations, much like a Tarot card. Wunjo was used to symbolize emotional satisfaction, happiness, and/or light, i.e., a generally positive state-of-mind.
Use of Runes is tied to Celtic cultures. Today, the term Celtic generally refers to the languages and respective cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany, also known as the Celtic nations. The vocalist you hear on this track, Celica Soldream, calls herself “Celtia”, and has focused her talent on evoking a “Celtic feeling” with her singing. I personally find Celtic vocals mesmerizing and even transcendent which is why you will hear Celtia’s vocals on a number of my tracks. Imho it lends an overall “other worldly” feeling to the music.
I hope that Wunjo will carry you away to distant times and lands, but most importantly, clear your mind, relax, and enjoy!
