Harvest ~ Jera Rune

The image side of this Rune shows stylized hills moving off into the distance. These hills could be early in the season, as in tilling for planting, or just after the crop has been brought in for harvest. The symbolism reminds you to prepare the ground for what lies ahead, and follow through to achieve your goals.  The symbol side of this piece can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word “jēra” which means “year” or “harvest season.” This rune is traditionally associated with the cycle of the year and the harvest. It represents the culmination of efforts, the reward at the end of a journey, or the realization of a wish. Jera represents the effort that goes into long term planning for goals by creating a framework for growth and tending to the necessary requirements for your effort to become fruitful. It acknowledges the thoughtfulness and attention to detail that will allow you to reap benefit from your investment in your future. Jera belongs to the second aett of the Elder Futhark,
