The Weekly Rune : ISA
For the week of 12 July 2015
Reprieve + growth is the formula for this week.
Fehu sustains as the half-month rune until 14 July, after which point Uruz steps in. Isa remains the intuitive stave. Read right to left is Fehu above, Uruz below, then Isa.
Following is a summary of The Weekly Rune.
Last week, as Isa was the intuitive stave then, as well, I spoke a good bit about the nature of this final winter stave. In the three years that I’ve writtenThe Weekly Rune, Isa has only presented six times, with two of those being last week and this week. That’s significant cred indicating how intense the stillness of ice is. Her message of being held back until ready takes on a different meaning under the changing guard of Fehu to Uruz.
Isa imparts a sense of being constrained, frozen as it were. All of the winter runes do, though each brings a unique nuance to its influence. Hagalaz (hail) and Nauthiz (need) each bring sense of destruction and surrender to the elements of life. They are among the most harsh staves that can be cast. As the closure of that cycle, Isa carries a somewhat gentler energy. Where Hagalaz has brought down the defective known, then Nauthiz has held our feet to the fire to embrace the truth that emerges from the ensuing emptiness, Isa leaves us in the fitful rest of wanting to act on the new wisdom coming in. Yet the very nature of Isa is to be frozen, immobilized, suspended. Of course it requires a lot of energy to be still, but how many of us really want to be still?
Uruz as the half-month stave makes that tension even stronger. With Uruz, we feel that we know the answer to the question, we just can’t quite put our finger on what it is. That niggly frustration is the underlying itch of the next couple of weeks.
Uruz is primal feminine life force. It is the epitome of the deep unconscious, and interestingly, it’s sourced from the ice world of Niflheimr. As it symbolizes Audhumla, the Divine Feminine who brought herself into being from ice blocks as an auroch, Uruz is the mascot of life no longer fitting. When this wild thing shows up, initiation is afoot.
The potency of this transformation into a life that fits better combined with Isa enforcing such to its deepest potential can’t be understated this week. The brilliance of Uruz gains a few extra seconds to manifest in the reprieve of Isa. For this week, we get extra support in making sure we know what we think we know, and doing something with it

Overview
Runes are a method of divination similar to the Tarot or the I Ching. The difference is that Runes are a set of 25 stones instead of 78 cards or a set of sticks with patterns. As with the Tarot, most of the Runes may be rightside up, or up side down, the meaning differing with the case. There are also some Runes that can not appear up side down. In practice, the Runes may be made of any material; ceramic, stones, sticks, or drawn on cards.

Runes originated with the ancient Etruscans and were spread upwards throughout the Alpine regions to Northern Europe via the trade routes. The Germanic tribes took them and adapted them to their own needs and uses. The oldest and most widespread of the Germanic runes are the Elder Futhark or Common Germanic Runes. The word rune, which occurs in various forms in Germanic and Celtic languages, means "a mystery" or "holy secret" that is "whispered".
Runes were traditionally carved into bone, wood or stone which accounts for their angular shape. The lack of curves made it easier to create the shapes in either hard wood or stone.
