When not kept under control, the ego-self can take a path into ego-trips of self-aggrandizement, superficial desire and fall for the glitter of false trappings instead of real spiritual substance. There is a dark side to this enhancement of ego as you can see by the dark side of Isa.

In the most elementary dynamic, Isa is a building block of the physical world, slowing down fire energy and solidifying it. Therefore this third rune of the second aett is yet another rune that represents an aspect of the harshness of reality. This is how the ancients saw ice: inimical, even hostile to life. The hidden part of an iceberg, which represents 90% of its bulk, can remain hidden and gut a ship with little mercy. Although ice generally shows itself as it is, with little glamor, there is little so treacherous as a weak spot in the ice that will swallow the unwary with surprising swiftness, and soon enough leave hardly a trace. However, there is little else as powerful as the slow moving glacier, which can tear apart even the bedrock as it inches forward. Nice locks life under its surface and keeps it motionless. It lulls the traveler to sleep with its peace and serenity.
