casting runes — 21jan26

isaz
holding our steambreath
we wait for sunwarmed icicles
to shatter themselves on below

A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

Today’s rune is isaz, a rune that is translated as the word “ice”. Sources associate isaz with a calmness, present moment or stillness. As ice, isaz is sometimes associated with standstill, stagnation, stasis or contraction; even at times as pristine beauty with seductive qualities.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

    With how cold it is now, I really do look forward to those sunwarmed icicles. Nicely done.

      Thanks. The weather dudes say something about another cold front coming through. Ugh. I’d like to see something north of 20°F soon.

        Today is our warm day at 30. After that, it doesn’t get out of the single digits through the weened. Ugh.

          We’re tracking for subzeros for the same space. Yay?

            We get more snow. But you guys have always been colder. Yikes. Not fun.
