Daily Rune – Isa

Happy Sunna’s day! Todays rune is Ísa of the younger futhark. Quite the opposite of Sol yesterday. This rune represents ice at its core. Stillness, stagnation, and not moving. This is always temporary. But today it feels like it’s just a brief and minor setback. I don’t see it having a lasting effect.

 ísa/íss (“ice”) means “ice”. The rune of stillness and self-control.

Sound: “i”, “e”, “j” as in the “y” in “year”

Meaning: Ice is unchanging and restricting and like ice, this rune embodies the resistant power that tries to prevent change.

Norwegian rune poem **

ᛁ Ís kǫllum brú bræiða;

blindan þarf at læiða.

Translation **

ᛁ Isa

Ice we call the broad bridge;

the blind man must be led.
