Daily Rune – Yr

Good Máni’s Day! Todays rune is Yr. Annnddd, I feel like I’m starting to sound like a broken record. I’m just going through the motions, repeating what I’m being told, and taking action on that. This rune tells me seið or trance-work is its focus here.

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.
