Home - Sakro Sawel

Sakro Sawel means “sacred sun” in Proto-Indo-European. On this website I explore the history and practice of the ancient religion of the sun, which was the largest religion for thousands of years across the world.

The Ancient Religion of the Sun

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the history of the ancient Religion of the Sun, and delve into the subjects I cover in my videos in more detail.

Ancient Solstice
