casting runes — 25sept26

jera
hand in hand
through wynds & narrows
'twixt sunlight & shadows
we are but phantasms
within the dream

A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.

Today’s rune is jera. Jera is translated as “year”, and has also been translated as “harvest”. This rune is representative of cycles, the “wheel of the year”, the union of opposites (implied by the summer half of the year ending, winter half of the year beginning), balance, as well as cause/effect relationships.

Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

    Probably the best place to be, too.

      Some of us only know how to phantasm.
