Upright
Stillness and suspension. Everything held in place — frustrating if you want movement, useful if you needed to stop.

Isa is the 11th rune of the Elder Futhark and belongs to Heimdall's Aett. Before it meant anything divinatory it was a letter, carrying the I sound.
This is one of the four symmetrical runes — along with Gebo, Isa, Jera and Ingwaz — which cannot be drawn reversed.
