Well, the 9-day intensive program of my MFA program is done and now I'm freeeeee! But I'm not, really, because now the really hard work begins and I have a bunch of projects to turn in this summer, no set schedule to do them except one I have to make myself, and no one to keep me on task. So while the freedom is a very reversed Devil place to be, so is the ability to slag off. I'd better make sure I get it right. Read on to learn more about the Devil reversed!  Upright, the Devil is indicative of addictions, greed, and learned helplessness. Reversed, there are often more positive interpretations of the upright card, but do watch out that it’s not the upright meaning even more intensified. Figure out which meaning is correct for you:

 Like Isa reminds us that nature slows when it needs to, Jera reminds us that a bountiful harvest is inevitable, too. Jera represents those moments between seasons, and how they blend to create natural cycles of abundance and loss, marriage and divorce, planting and harvesting, or what have you. Imagine Jera as two sides of a square that never closes. Just as we naturally oppose ourselves and each other when things change, Jera is a cycle that is never complete. Jera has no reverse, as the cycles of time continue regardless of circumstances. Jera as: ..an action?
...a place in your city?
...a movie theme? Gardening, cycles of life
...a new career?
Questions answered by Jera: Who? The gardener What? A seed Where? Near the plants When? The end of December or end of the year; when the seasons change; the harvest Why? “Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.” ~Og Mandino Yes or No? Maybe. As this Rune cannot be reversed, only that which has been sown shall be reaped. Bindrune bonus: the preceding Rune Isa and the next Rune Ihwaz, combine to form a variant of Jera. It is often called the Lantern Rune due to it’s lantern-like appearance. It also means cycles.  Jera brings us to the end of our study of the Runes. Thanks for following along, everyone! My next divination book (Applied Tarot Reversed) is still a few months away, so I don't know what my blog will talk about daily for the next few months, but maybe I'll draw a tarot card or a rune to help me decide. We'll see what happens! Coming in March, look for my next release, Psychic Word Puzzles! Solve a puzzle, get a message from the universe! It's cheaper than visiting your local psychic. Follow my page on Amazon to keep an eye out for that: 
We can imagine what the cold Norse winters were like, with the earth covered in frost and the landscape barely traversable for months on end. This is what Isa represents – a static ice, harsh but beautiful, that hides the Earth before its glorious spring transformation.
Isa encourages us to wait, put a stop to our ego, and don’t try anything spontaneous. Spring always follows winter, do not rush it. Isa has no reverse, as ice is not just some challenge that must be overcome, it is the very nature of a polar environment. Isa as: ...an action?
...a place in your house?
...a place in your city?
...a place in the world?
...something to eat?
...a movie theme? Ice, delays
As I type this, the Pacific Northwest is anticipating a very cold and possibly snowy weekend. Seattleites are unable to engage in much action during snow, as the depths and heights of driveways and streets make any kind of ground cover not traversible. At the same time, the world is also in a pandemic, so going somewhere isn't likely anyway, I suppose. We're double-Isa'd in 2021. The only thing to do is wait it out. Spring will come eventually. |
