Isa translates to the "ice" card in my Enchanted Runes Oracle Deck. The original is a 16x20 acylic artwork on canvas. In the oracle, there is a difference in pulling this card upright or reversed. Here is a further breakdown of this special card:
Fixed
Time has become frozen around you. You seem to be the only one living in a state of stillness. It is in this state that you can’t call out for help or aid. You must find it within yourself. Isa is a spiritual standstill and can provide an opportunity for introspection and self-reflection. Although ice is of a hostile nature, by freezing every inch of warmth around it, it still gives you the chance to look inward and gain insight into your current situation. During this period of inactivity, there is quietness and the opportunity to truly listen within. With this quiet land comes a dark side. There is a chance of falling into ego-trips of self-aggrandizement, superficial desire, and instead of experiencing true spiritual substance you fall for false trappings. Those who claim to know with too much certainty, beware. Ice is bleak, uncomfortable and gloomy. This can symbolize emotional coldness or a sense of emotional numbness. It may indicate a need to thaw and express your feelings. While you may experience a lack of progress in personal goals, it is ideal to wait for the right time to act rather than rushing into decisions. It doesn’t mean you will never take those steps, but that climbing the mountain may be too treacherous right now. Exercise patience. As for relationships, Isa shows there may be a cooling down period. There may be some distancing and sexually there may be a lot of frustrations. But remember, whatever the question at hand is, Isa is not permanent. The ice will melt, and spring will come. It may be an uncomfortable cycle, but you are nearing the end! This pause is necessary. It is time to stay still and recharge.
Reversed
There is not an inverted or reversed position to this rune.
