Jera Rune Meaning
ᛃ · sound "j (as y in yes)" · Heimdall's ætt · name means year, a good harvest
harvest, cycles, patience, reward for effort
Upright meaning
Jera is the turning year and the harvest it brings. Things ripen in their own time, and what you planted and tended earlier comes round again. It invites patience and trust in steady, ordinary effort rather than shortcuts.
Reversed
This rune looks the same upside down, so it has no reversed meaning.
Lore
The name means year, in the sense of a good season and the crops it brings. All three rune poems cover it, as ár in the Norse poems and gēr in the Anglo-Saxon; all praise a good year as a gift to people, and the Anglo-Saxon poem adds that its fruits reach rich and poor alike.
