Good Woten’s day friends!! Todays rune is Yr of the younger futhark. Typically known as a death rune or door to the underworld, I see it here symbolizing travel between the 9 realms and transcending that. To be able to travel them subconsciously, at will, is quite a gift, and certainly an experience.
ᛦ yr (“yew”) Death rune. The rune of the underworld.
Sound: “zâ€, “râ€
Meaning: This rune has the same meaning as the Anglo-Saxon rune Yr. It is the entrance to the underworld and in this form is a death rune.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᛦ Ãr er vetrgrønstr viða;
vænt er, er brennr, at sviða.
Translation **
ᛦ Yr
Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;
it is wont to crackle when it burns.
