The harvest is the joy of men,
when God, holy king of heaven
allows the earth to successively bring its fruits
the same for the rich as for the poor.
Anglo-Saxon rhenic poem
The Rune Jera
The use of the Viking runes (from the root ' run- ' of the ancient Gothic, translated as ' secret ' or ' whisper ') mainly comprised writing in the ancient Germanic languages, especially in the islands of Great Britain and the region from Scandinavia , although it eventually expanded to the regions of Eastern and Central Europe during the Middle Ages . According to ancient Scandinavian beliefs, the origin of these runes comes from the gods. It is a gift that Odin gives to men.
These runes were also used for magical purposes . According to beliefs, they have the ability to materialize invocations and spells written on objects. And thanks to the German-Austrian writer Guido von List, and his system of modern divination of armanen runes, the power of the Viking runes has come to us today.
This time, we will talk about the Jera rune .
Mythology of the Rune Jera
Jera (also 'Jēran' and 'Jēraz') is the name in protonoric language that is given to the rune that represents our letter 'j', and can be translated as 'harvest'. This word has
the same root of the words yāre ('year' in avéstico), ὥρα ('ora', 'station' in Greek) and jarŭ ('spring' in Slavic language).
How could it be otherwise, the Jera rune is associated with the Germanic deity Nerthus (also known as Hertha), mother earth, which represents fertility. This goddess, belonging to the pantheon of the Vanir, is represented in a float pulled by cows.
Nerthus is a symbol of abundance, and was a cause for celebration in ancient times. When spring came, in some Germanic tribes a procession was taking place in his name.
The harvest is undoubtedly one of the causes for which the different tribes came to settle. And in that way, give rise to empires that would ensue in European cultures .
Meaning of the Jera rune
The Jera rune is a symbol, then, of gestation. It reminds us that important things need a period of development and maturation. And in the end, you will reap what you sow.
This rune demands patience, since the time before the results is inevitable. It must happen to give rise to abundance . All we reap is the compensation of the actions we have carried out in the past.
It is a good time to consider what you want to reap tomorrow. And sow according to your answer. Work with simplicity, raise your spirit and don't think about the obstacles that arise. These are part of the road, whatever you choose.
The Jera rune has no investment, because the fruits will depend on the planting. Wait, be patient and carefully prepare the ground so that the things you want are given in the best way. Remember that events and results flow naturally when they have to. You can only make sure that when it happens, everything reaches a desired port. Observe your life, your works and your path. Evaluate your decisions.
Be an architect of those you would like to see in the Universe.
Well, it's never too late to start a new planting.
