Good Tyr’s Day! Todays rune is Yr. Travel to the underworld is what I get here. Whether this is by simple meditation and visualization or actual seið-work is up to you. I most definitely feel the ancestors are calling us for a visit.
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.
