Good Máni’s day. Todays rune is Isa. While ice has an aspect of protection to it, it also carries with it restriction. Like Nauthiz yesterday, Isa here can mean blockage and stagnation, but only if we are unable to keep moving forward. We can avoid this by stopping negative traits like being stubborn or bullheaded. Or just plain negative outlooks, sure, some situations are unchanging in that manner, but we shouldn’t let it destroy our spirits and will to move forward. Self-control is imperative today when it comes to emotions.
ᛁ 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.
