Description
“Ice only appears to stop a river’s flow, yet the river flows still underneath.”

Isa - Ice, cold, freezing, stillness, stasis, stagnation, control, self, lack of emotion, identity, focus, bridge across danger.

Isa means ice. Although ice can be beautiful, it is also dangerous. It can be slippery or treacherously thin.

Ice with its beauty lulls the traveler to sleep with its peace and serenity and ca lock life under its surface and keep it motionless, preserved and never changing.

However, there is little else as powerful as the slow moving glacier, which can tear apart even the bedrock as it moves forward. Although ice seems so nice, beautiful, peaceful it is equally treacherous as a weak spot in the ice will swallow the unwary with surprising swiftness, and soon leave no trace someone was standing there moments ago...

The hidden part of an iceberg (90% of its bulk) can remain hidden and gut a ship with little mercy. This is how the ancients saw ice: inimical, even hostile to life. Therefore this rune is yet another one representing an aspect of the harshness of reality.

Isa means that you may be in a stale situation or have to delay your plans until a more favourable season. But it can also take the heat out of a confrontation.

Emotionally, Isa implies a cooling of affection, or frigidity. It has a freezing, delaying, or preserving effect.
