"There is no such thing as water, only melted ice..."

I always found it cool that the 11th rune corresponds to ICE and the 11th Trump in the Tarot is "Just-Ice"

LMAO

Upon ingestion there is no recorded image or sequence, I am drawn to be aware of myself.

Where and what are your definitions/boundaries?

Nothing is goingto happen when it is organised. No meetings will happen, everybody cancels. This is the week that the funding confirmation is expected, suddenly there is no communication, no contact. Its all on HOLD

FROZEN

I am aware of this effect of Isa and I do not panic, but like the force of nature, I yield and go with the flow. I cannot exert my influence on the outer realm, I cannot effect the inner. Stasis. I am self contained, able to view a snap shot of existence.

I visit an ex-girlfriend, there is still a flame in us both, but caiught in ice. water expands as ice, distance between people cools emotions.

My emotions are self contained, I am able to resist spilling my emotional self out into the world. reserved

Ice preserves. Cryogenics.

I am to play in London on Saturday, it is not to be, obstacles. I am cool about it.

I am in stasis, my DNA is in stasis, I am my DNA

like a glacier, progress is so slow as to be imperceptible.
Stop struggling - this too shall pass.
use the time to centre, to ground.

remember the day it was lucky to be late.

The primal force of contration, the manifestation of the lack of energy. All things move towards singularity. Chaos self organizes into order, but not to build or grow, rather to diminish and reduce to simplest terms.

24/2=12/2=6/3=2/1=1

Motion stops. All are one.

infinity * 0 = 1

I am one and one is all for there is no other than the one. Bliss in the heat death of the universe.

The Old Norse Rune Poem
Isa
Ice we call the broad bridge;
the blind man must be led.

The Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem
Is
Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery;
it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems;
it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.

The Icelandic Rune Poem
Ice
Bark of rivers
and roof of the wave
and destruction of the doomed.

Immense self-contained strength. Stasis, yet with movement on a par with the slow grinding away of mountains by a glacier. "I" - ego, the self. Sharp, brittle and hard. A long view of events is necessary.

ISIS. Is Is baby.
Genisis.
The ice age.
Neffelheimer.
Ice heated to 10(+32) becomes a 10 dimensional superstring universe.

Are there three fires to go along with the three ices?

Do you mean Hagl, Nyd, and Isa? I wouldn't classify Nyd as an ice rune... in point of fact, I associate it with the need-fire.

I'd say Sig is a fire rune, though, and probably Kensaz too. Maybe you could make an argument for Thorn or Elhaz.

Isn't Uruz fiery?

That need-fire thing, yeah. I wonder.

I'm also trying to chart out things like "fire giants" and "niflheim" in my head.

I'm sure there's some kind of graphic somewhere.

I have lived with Isa all my life, since my given name begins with that rune. It's a fairly weird feeling. It's not like living with Gebo for instance...

I use Isa a lot now, as a centreing excercise. Traced from crown chakra to sacral, drawing the self back to the centre, steadying, crystalising. Stillness.

Which I, uh, have tatooed on my chest, more or less.
