The Rune Jera

Jera

Sound: “Y”
Meaning: Harvest, Cycle, Year
​

​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?

• Garden
• Have a baby

• Take your chances

 
...a place in your city?

• A florist
• The supermarket
• A psychotherapist’s office

 
...a movie theme? Gardening, cycles of life

• The Lion King
• The Secret Garden

• Wall-E
• The Martian

...a new career?

• Get in at the very beginning, such as venture capitalism or a startup
• Farmer
• Climatologist
• Pop-up shops and food trucks

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!
