(June 19, 2023, Updated January 3, 2025) Motion deities were responsible for all changes in object positions (motion) on earth. This is in contrast to the life deities which were responsible for all growth changes. Motion powers were the magical powers.
Su is represented by both the dark new moon and the pupil of the eye so he represents both the astrological and emotional components of the motion power class. Hence he is involved in astrology magic as well as emotion magic. He is not, however, involved in the powers fate which also derivine from the night sky and which are associated with the life source goddess Kate/Hekate.
Su's eye correspondence gives rise to Su’s epithets which are “Observer” and "Moon-Eye." Hence he is associated with owls which are often seen as omens of change.
The new moon defines the monthly cycles so Su is also “father time” or "time-keeper" (Akkadian šattu with 2 "t's").
This deity has also been called "Sin" or "Suen." The /n/ or /m/ suffix is the means "powers of" when applied to deities so those words should be translated as "powers of Su."

The image on the right is of the Druid dark new moon and eye pupil god Su. He is the the source of all emotion/emotion powers via the astrological night sky. This was found in southern England.
The text style is Aegean Island which would normally date it to between 500 to 400 BCE in the Mediterranean although this style seems to have been preserved longer in the north. Because most Celtic coins are abstract in style this more realistic style seems to show Roman and Hellensitic influences dating it to between 200 and 0 BCE.

(January 3, 2025) The Codex Runicus describes the middle-ground Druid theology in which life powers can be properly associated with the magical motion/emotion powers. The life powers make the connection changes in the life network and the motion powers push the fertility-fluids through those connected threads/channels. This way dominate in Aegean Islands and mainland Europe. Contrast this way with the life power devotion of the Israelites and the magical motion/emotion power devotion of the Minoans and Phoenicians.
A debate between those devoted to the life powers and those devoted to the magical emotion/motion powers often breaks out during a drought when each side seeks to blame the other's powers for the drought. This has been good for history because these arguments have given us most of our archaeological stone texts because each side wants to write down their viewpoint on stone.
(May 10, 2023) The full moon god Su is adequately pushing and pouring the fertility-fluids (filtrate) through the channels (threads) of the life network. Nothing is being adversely affected.
Some Hebrew language scholars claim the text reads as follows:
