The next rune is Jera, pronounced yehr-ah. Its literal meaning is a year.
If Jera appears in divination, it means timing, proper, peace, plenty, and reward for positive action. In certain readings, it may mean regression, conflict, poverty, bad timing, or repetition.
The harvest during the summer is meant to be winter food, and the seeds from those crops became the next year’s summer crops. Attentiveness to the cultivation of our present life is important, but you should lay down the wisdom for the future self.
The movement of the seasons aren’t so much connected to time, but with the outflow and inflow of the breath. The rhythms of the breath, heartbeat, dawn, and dusk, and sleep are all the keys to finding Jera’s subtle nature. Similar to Isa, Jera is unstoppable energy; it is gradual but is unrelenting; it is indifferent to the human influence and unhurried but persistent.
Jera is focused on the right timing. It is the embodiment of “This too shall pass.” When you use this rune, it will help you to understand the mysteries of time and the importance of the psyche to manage and divide time. Deadlines will allow you to do the best and will help you to find motivation and grow to levels beyond where you are. It will help to move us towards doing something when it is the right time.
