Jera

Year, harvest. The year turns — patient harvest.

Harvest and cycles. The natural reward of patient effort arrives. What you planted long ago now bears fruit; the year has turned and you stand in the right field.

This rune is non-invertible. It carries the same charge however it falls.

Jera has no reversed meaning — the harvest comes in its own time. Trust the cycle; rushing yields nothing but bruised fruit.

Past: a long sowing. Present: the moment of yield. Future: things will resolve, and on the timeline of seasons, not of impatience. After Hagalaz/Nauthiz/Isa, Jera is the thaw made visible.

Jera is the wheel of the year, the long curve of the seasons. The Norse year was divided in two — summer and winter — and Jera holds them both. Its shape, two arcs meeting, is the rune of patience rewarded.
