Isa Rune Meaning

Where Isa comes from

Isa means ice. A frozen river looks still but holds its form clearly. The rune stands for stillness, calm and concentration.

Upright meaning

Isa signals that things are on hold. It is not a time to force progress but to stay still, reflect and keep your focus.

• stillness
• pause
• focus

Reversed meaning

Isa looks the same upside down, so it is traditionally not read reversed. In Goblin Saju readings, a reversed Isa is read as a sign that your heart has stayed frozen too long and needs to thaw.

• frozen
• stuck
• isolation
