Good Tyr’s Day!! Todays rune is Yr. The death rune. And I do see death here, but thankfully, I believe it’s symbolic. The turning of the seasons. The death of the old self and rebirth of the new. With all the changes taking place this really comes as no surprise and should be looked at as a very good thing.
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 Yr
Yew is the greenest of trees in winter;
it is wont to crackle when it burns.
