Rune #11 - ISA - Standstill

Alternative NamesAnglo-Friesian/Germanic: IsaNorse (Viking): IsOld English: IsOther Names/Spellings: Eis, Icz, Isar, Isaz, Iss
English Letter Equivalent: I (short) as in sit.
Pronunciation: Ee-saw
Translation: Ice
Runic Number: 11
Color: Black
Element: Ice (i.e. Water)
Polarity: Female
Associated gods: Verdandi
Astrological Correspondence: The Moon

Meaning:
Ice, cold, freezing. Lack of change. Stagnation. Lack of emotion. Storing binding. Bridge across danger.

Characteristics:
Isa means ice. Although ice can be beautiful, it is also dangerous. It can be slippery or treacherously thin, or block your progress. Isa means that you may have to delay your plans until a more favorable season. But it can take the heat out of a confrontation, or protect against magical attack.

Emotionally,
Isa implies a cooling of affection, or frigidity. It has a freezing, delaying, or preserving effect on other runes around it.

Personal Interpretation:
A period of non-action is indicated. Do not let yourself get into a rut. Do not take anyone for granted. Be not afraid to show your feelings. Crossing water will be beneficial. Things appear to be at a standstill and this is not a time to try to force movement. Patience and wisdom are called for. This is not the time to abandon goals, but an opportunity to reaffirm them. This is a time for contemplation and preparation, not despondency or regrets. Things will change as surely as winter changes to spring and then summer.

Reverse:
ISA has no reverse.

Converse:
Coolness hides emotion. An impending change will not be of benefit. Smiles mask evil intentions.

Put the past in its place, learn from experience. A good time for spiritual renewal - clear away misconceptions and accept new ideas.

Reverse: Lack of growth or reduction in stature. Decline or loss in business, profits, or crops. A bad time for new ventures.

Converse: Increased size or profit is being hidden, or dishonestly withheld. You may suffer a theft. An investment that looks risky may well be safe.

Appropriate Issues for Rune Casts


An appropriate issue is anything that relates to timeliness and right action. You might want advice on whether or not it is the proper moment to make a career change, make an investment, sell a business, move to a different location or home, terminate or initiate a relationship-all these and similar concerns are suitable issues for consulting the RUNES.

I choose to use the word issues rather than questions. For example, a question might be, “Should I quit my job?” whereas to state is as an issue, you would say, “The issue is my work.” Instead of asking, “Should I move from my apartment?” you can state, “The issue is my current living situation.” The small distinction is a crucial one. If you ask a question and the Oracle provides the answer, then your role is a passive one. However, if you present an issue, and Oracle comments on that issue, this allows you to extract your own answer and take responsibility for determining what is right action.

The RUNES never answer you with a “Yes” or “No.” Their counsel is one of preparation and proper conduct so that you may make a clear and conscious decision regarding the issue at hand.

If you don’t have a specific issue in mind, and you still feel drawn to consult the RUNES, simply ask: What do I need to know in my life now? The Oracle’s reply is invariably nourishing and instructive.

A Rune Reading - Mary (Raido & Degaz)


A woman, who I will refer to as Mary) called me about choosing a RUNE to help her make a decision between 2 issues she was feeling conflicted about. I instructed her to pick a RUNE that would “address the current situation as it is now”. The issue was whether she should go ahead and take a pleasure trip she had been planning for months and had already paid for, or cancel the trip and accept a job offer that had been presented to her unexpectedly.

The RUNE she chose was Raido- the Traveler’s RUNE. Interestingly, this RUNE represents travel, union or re-union, events concerning travel. It can also represent a job with transport or overseas locations. And, on a personal level, it can represent movement and direction in the journey of Life asking you to look at the direction you are moving in toward a goal, or a purpose in life. Mary told me that her decision to take her planned trip was more or less based on a need to “run away” from her exhausting efforts to look for a new job. She had been job searching for 6 months and was doubting her abilities to find a job that would challenge her intellect, feed her longing to associate with like-minded colleagues that shared her interest in spirituality and metaphysics , and that would give her an opportunity to travel to parts of the country she had never seen.

Her planned trip was going to take her to never-explored locations; the new job would involve her with editing manuscripts for authors throughout the country who gave workshops and seminars on various spiritual and transformational subjects. And, the job was to start within 10 days-just before she was to begin her own traveling for the trip she had planned.

Thinking about the issue, “Cancelling the trip and accepting the job”, she chose the RUNE Degaz, The RUNE of Transformation.. This RUNE represents a breakthrough/ radical change/a new dawn or a major change of direction. When a person draws this RUNE it usually tells the querant that they are ready to experience a successful conclusion to a passage and will ultimately experience achievement and prosperity; the darkness has ended and a new day has begun. As a personal interpretation, Degaz was showing Mary that the divine light was guiding her towards her goal and that if she remained clear about what she wanted, the timing would be right and the outcome assured. The instruction she was receiving from this RUNE was to rely on radical trust and take a leap. Because Degaz is the final RUNE belonging to the Cycle of Self-Transformation, Mary’s Warrior Nature was being called into the challenge of making her decision. She was still being cautioned against collapsing herself into the future or behaving recklessly in her new situation if she accepted the job, and a lot of hard work would be involved in this time of transformation; however, knowing that she could look at the two issues (taking her planned trip or taking the new job) and make a decision that would enable her to have a long term gain with a short term loss (the money she had already spent planning her trip), she was ready to accept the job offer and move forward with her life.

The RUNE Othila - The RUNE of SEPARATION

A very dear friend of mine (I’ll call Missy, for anonymity purposes) made a conscious decision to choose a daily RUNE as a way of getting a “heads up” at the beginning of each day. I had done several readings for her in the past which resulted in more clarity in her decision-making processes as well as understanding herself and her relationships with friends and work colleagues. I thought this decision of choosing a daily RUNE was an excellent one for her and encouraged her to call or email me anytime if she had any questions.

One day last week Missy emailed me about her chosen daily RUNE, Othila, and told me that she had chosen this several times in the course of a week and was stumped as to what this could mean.

The RUNE Othila is one of the Cycle Runes. Among other things, this RUNE represents a time of separating paths; a radical severance from outmoded ways and relationships with the Self and how you live your life. Whether it is your attachment to the work you do or even to your beliefs about your own nature, the separation called for now will free you to become more truly who you are.

Keeping in mind what this RUNE represents, I reminded Missy that when we feel the need or urge to separate ourselves from what we are used to, it is downright scary! AND it also opens up a lot of questions and the need to take a very close look at ourselves. I suggested that, without taking a lot of time to think about it, she look at what pops into her mind when she thinks of CHANGE and look at that from all different directions and see: what pushes her buttons? what takes her breath away? what makes her feel a palpitation in her chest? What brings on tears and/or anxiety? What makes her smile? I KNEW in my heart, soul, and mind that Missy was making sacrifices in her life regarding working at what she HAD TO DO to support herself financially as opposed to doing what she WANTED TO DO, but I didn’t want to influence her by cluing her in to this before she analyzed the situation herself. I told her to “cogitate” this for a while and get back to me so we could explore further .

The next evening I received an email from Missy saying that she wanted to share something that had happened to her that morning. After she had received my response/questions/suggestions that I had sent to her, she went to work and was confronted by her supervisor that she (Missy) would have to work the closing shift on July 4th. She immediately responded with explatives that she had already made plans, but was informed that there was no one else to cover the shift, and she was “it”!. Missy was “bummed the whole day, frustrated and discouraged”.

Here is an excerpt (reprinted with HER permission) of the email she sent me.
This morning I woke up tired and drained. I took the dog out for a walk on a road that is dirt and skirts the desert, so we see a lot of wild life. Also along this road there are older homes with horse property. As we were walking I notice on one of the side streets a horse and buggy coming towards us, just walking. So I wait, cause I want to see the horse. As they got nearer, I recognize the horse and driver. I had met them a few months ago at a competition I had been invited to. I was so excited to see them; we chatted for a little while and then we continued our separate ways. Walking the rest of the way home, I remembered the RUNE of Separation. The job right now represents a pay check but I knew what really lifted my heart and spirit was experiencing moments like I had just experienced. My whole mind set has shifted, I am on cloud 9 because I know that being around animals and nature is my calling! Whatever “Separation” wants to bring my way, BRING IT ON!

This is a great example of how a single RUNE can help open up areas of thinking that you may have been feeling blockages, frustration, lack of clarity. Thanks for sharing this with us, Missy. You ARE an inspiration!

A Rune Reading Story - Marie

Recently I had an opportunity to do a RUNE reading for a woman (I’ll call her Marie for anonymity purposes) who had never experienced the magic of RUNES. We decided to keep it simple by just having her choose one RUNE. When the “querant” (the person addressing an issue/choosing the RUNE) chooses a RUNE from the bag, I usually do not want to know what the issue is that he/she has in mind before choosing the RUNE. The reason for this is that oftentimes the RUNE chosen addresses a very different “issue” from the one thought to be originally addressed. And, in this manner, I refer to it as “the RUNE choosing the issue“, rather than the querant choosing the issue.
After a couple moments of silent meditation, Marie chose the RUNE Mannaz. This RUNE represents The self, inner being, soul, manhood or womanhood. Its characteristics include your mind, your ego, your body; people in general, the world, friends or family or associates; clarity of thought, tolerance, consideration, and willingness to change. It also symbolizes a sense of cooperation between individuals. This is one of the RUNES of Self-Transformation which was a totally appropriate RUNE choice for Marie. The personal information I was able to channel for her in relation to choosing this particular RUNE involved an urgency to make some personal changes in her life by openly communicating with people close to her which was weighing heavily on her mind. It was clear to me that she needed some clarity in balancing her mind, body and spirit by opening up to new experiences that would directly involve a new way of life for her. I saw her as struggling with decisions about a current living situation and, before she could resolve these issues, she had to be clear about what she wanted, face up to her fears, and admit that she needed assistance from those she loved and trusted to help her make some major decisions. I also shared with her that it was time to “get over herself”, meaning it was time to start sharing her “true spirit”, rather than her “ego”, and own up to the fact that in trying to do it all “herself”, she was not being authentic in who she really was-a woman who was fearful of making the wrong choices; she masked herself as a woman who wanted her family to see her as the “strong one”, “in total control”, and “one who EVERYBODY could rely on for strength”, when in actuality she was feeling very vulnerable and afraid of making the wrong decisions that would ultimately change her life and relationships in the long term. This was not a time to attempt things alone. Her spirit was isolated and needed extra support and energy. It was time to convene with kindred spirits and those who genuinely knew her, loved her, and cared about how she was feeling and what she was struggling with.
After a considerable silence, she admitted that the reading was “right on”, (which astounded her, since she hadn’t told me beforehand what had recently transpired in her life). Just a few hours prior to her picking the RUNE, she had decided to meet with her daughters about her decision to sell the home she had raised her family in and go into an assisted living apartment. She was afraid that they would see her as “less of a mother” than the one who had raised them, and was fearful of disappointing them by letting them know that she “wasn’t as strong anymore as she used to be”.
She left our session with a renewed sense of joy, confidence, and strength knowing that she was on the right path in her current decision-making processes.

RUNE #2 - URUZ - STRENGTH

RUNE #2- URUZ - Strength



Runic Number: 2
Letter: U
Old English Name: Ur/Uruz
Meaning: Auroch, Strength, Virility (Male), Fertility (Female).
Element(s): Earth
Zodiac Sign: Cancer and Leo
Gemstone: Carbuncle/ Roser Quartz/Carnelian
Colour: Dark Green

Introduction:

Ur or Uruz symbolizes the, now extinct, auroch (a wild bison). These animals were prized for their great strength and relative speed. They were also significant because the hunting of these creatures formed part of a 'rites of passage' for young warriors.

Interpretation:

Upright.The RUNE "Uruz" symbolizes the strength to break through and move on. It is a sign of new beginnings, a time to shake off the past and to take advantage of new opportunities. We are reminded that before each new beginning must come an ending and endings can be an emotional time. However, we must remember that ultimately, it will be to our benefit.

By living each day to its fullest, we can be assured that from every ending comes new life. We must do whatever it takes to succeed and seize each moment so that we will never come to regret missed chances.

When the RUNE "Uruz" is picked, it represents a favourable time for high risk ventures.

Inverted.

When the RUNE "Uruz" is inverted in a spread, it signals a possible time of ill health, lack of vitality or general weakness which may manifest itself in weak will power or lack of clarity in thought.

A possible missed opportunity will require careful consideration and planning if it is to be dealt with successfully. There is a potential advantage to be gained through any kind of loss, but it may require an extraordinary or unusual act of will, courage, and strength of character to capitalize on any rewards to be gained.

Runes - What do they signify?

Have you ever heard of RUNES and what they signify? Have you ever been curious about this area of divination? This seems like a good place to share some information with you about RUNES. I will use this forum to introduce you to the “world of RUNES” by giving you a brief bit of background info; and then later, through other articles on this sight, explore what each RUNE represents. I hope you find it interesting and that it will encourage you to dig deeper, ask questions, make comments, and feel compelled to learn more about this fascinating area of metaphysics.
In Divination - regardless of the tools - and in this case, using RUNES, works because in the system one is using the individual Rune represents the whole in some unified way. At the moment of 'random' mixing, because of intent, the Runes order themselves to mirror the reality of the seeker.
Runic divination, "Rune casting", is not "fortune telling". Rune casting works deeply with the subconscious. The Rune pouch with its runic symbols represents the entire universe. As one poses a question, one's entire conscious and unconscious mind is focused toward that question, so that the Rune lots selected are not truly random selections, but rather choices made by the subconscious.
Rune craft operates on an ancient form of psychology. Even back in Viking times, there was a remarkable understanding of the human psyche. They recognized cause and effect, and the interconnectedness of all things. The word to describe this interconnectedness was "wyrd", which was eventually perverted into the modern meaning of "weird". It did not originally mean something unusual or strange. Rather, it referred to the far-reaching effects of that which one does. The concept of "fate" was also not as we know it now. Instead of a helpless predestination, "fate" meant a destiny created by one's earlier actions. Wyrd was pictured as a web, like that of a spider. The symbolism is excellent. When the spider steps onto a thread (a path) the vibrations affect the entire web and that which is contained within the web, just as our actions affect our immediate world and those around us, and the actions of others affect our lives.
When one does a runic reading, one usually addresses a particular issue, and examines the past, the present and the "future", or rather "what will be if one follows the path one appears to be on". The future is always perceived as mutable, and/or changeable. The runic reading is done as an evaluation process, not as a fortune-telling session. One has an opportunity to look at what has occurred in the past (regarding the issue being questioned), what is occurring right now, and what direction one is headed. A Rune Caster does not see the future. He/she examines cause and effect and points out a likely outcome.
It is a methodology for examining the path one is on and what the effects might be, by making use of one's subconscious (i.e. an "intuitive perception"), unfettered by limited conscious belief systems. It is a manifestation of one's subconscious. All "intuitive perception" is such.

Rune Readings

I consider myself to be a Renaissance Woman who has lived many lifetimes previous to this 58 year lifetime.
In 1981, as a “newbie” entering what was then called THE NEW AGE movement, I was introduced to Runes by Ralph Blum, author of The Book of Runes. This was the beginning of my true spiritual growth and my journey for self-change. For the past 25+ years I have studied various forms of divination on my quest for a way to get in touch with my inner self. I have developed a way of looking at situations more clearly and also am able to solve practical, everyday problems without resorting to forms of fortune-telling. Using the Runes of the Elder Futhark provides me with an Oracle I can use to access information directly from my higher self.

When I am asked to read “Runes”, I rely on my personal Viking Spirit Guide to direct me to the appropriate Rune spread to use for the reading. Even though a client may have a certain personal issue or agenda he/she expects to address, I purposely choose NOT to ask what the issue is; the Rune(s) chosen always seems to be the “correct” Rune(s) for that question, issue and/or point in time. It’s fascinating how a Rune always addresses an issue that sometimes has been hidden and isn’t really the intended focus of the client.

For more information, I invite you to visit our website at: http://www.fromme2youonline.com/ where you can experience and explore more information on RUNES.
