Wunjo is closely related to the feeling of love, whether intimate or familial. We see this in the proto-Indo-European root word wenh₁-, which means “to love, win” and “to wish.”Many words have come from this root and it seems this sound denotes a sort of happiness, kindness, and affection. We see another related word in the Latin venia meaning “kindness, mercy, grace” and in the modern English/Old French word venial meaning “able to be forgiven, worthy of forgiveness.”
We see connections associated with Wunjo in both words, as during the process of forgiveness one shows great love. Other words derived from these roots are the proto-Germanic word wanjaną which means “to make accustomed to,” indicating an act of extreme care and kindness to guests.
Wunjo is this process, formula, and understanding; the living phenomenon of the Wish, of love, and kindness. Wunjo is the creation of bliss, joy, and satisfaction in life.May all beings thrive and experience great love.
