ISA

sharp and high)
Letter: I
(Ice) is very cold
and exceedingly slippery
it glistens, clear as glass
very much like gems,
a floor made of frost
is fair to see.
— Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem
(Ice), we call the broad bridge
the blind need to be led.
Old Norwegian Rune Rhyme
(Ice) is the rind of the river
and the roof of the waves
and a danger for fey men.”
Old Icelandic Rune Poem
That ninth I know if need there be
to guard a ship in a gale,
the wind I calm and the waves also,
and wholly soothe the sea.
— Havamal 155
The rune isa, ice, is the elemental rune of Niflheimr. As the being of fire is energy, expansion,
motion, passion, and change, so the being of ice is solidity, contraction, stillness, calmness, and
unchangeability. Although Niflheimr holds the primal life-stuff of yeast and death-stuff of venom, these
cannot come forth directly from the ice; it must first be melted into the rushing waters of Hvergelmir.
The elemental ice shows complete immobility, which in its ultimate form is antimatter, as without
the motion which holds the substance of the atom together there would be complete disintegration.
However, as ice works in Midgardhr, together with the fire which is in all things to some degree, it is
simply the force which slows energy and causes solidification, concentration, and density. As the rune
fehu embodies warmth, fruitfulness, life-force, and conflict, so does the rune isa embody cold, barrenness,
death, and still peace. The reference to the “broad bridge” in the Old Norwegian Rune Rhyme seems to be
a reference to a river covered with ice, which makes a very broad bridge indeed. Seen within the shape of
the Nine Worlds, it speaks of the bridge to Het the second line perhaps being a reference to blind Hodhr.
You must not forget how closely Niflheimr, the realm of ice, and Hel are bound together in the Northern
mind. To reach the realm of Hel, you must lower your own vibrational level; this bridge is broad because
this is very easy to do and is, in fact the ordinary way of the soul after death. This maybe set against the
purifying flames (intense vibration) of the narrow bridge Bifrost.
