Good Sunna’s Day. Todays rune is Yr. The death rune. There’s a lot of that going around right now. Literally, and metaphorically. Death is needed for rebirth. I understand that. But how many times must one die inside to find perfection? It’s easy to see the bad, it takes will to look past it, strength to let it go and move forward. But what does it take to take it away completely? I don’t mean this in a negative sense. I guess, I’m not sure here, it just makes perfect sense in my mind.
ᛦ yr (“yew”) Death rune. The rune of the underworld.
Sound: “z”, “r”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 Ýr er vetrgrønstr viða;vænt er, er brennr, at sviða.
Translation **
ᛦ YrYew is the greenest of trees in winter;it is wont to crackle when it burns.
