Rune Shamanism
I’ve really wanted to study this rune since it is the one I am most drawn to. I have used it so many times to meditate by that I feel like we are old friends.
Today is Samhain when so much magick is in the air and the veil is thin. This makes it seem especially […]
Today I am finishing up with Jera. I feel that I have learned a lot about the true harvest which really does not concern grain or fruit crops. It is the fertile growth of the mind and spirit. A lifetime of knowledge grows into a lifetime of spiritual essence. For me, this is Jera. I […]
Today as I was soaking in the bath, I started thinking about the sigil of Jera. The one form uses “V”s. The first reminds me of the “less than” sign < and the other “greater than” >. The upper branch of > is in the space between the branches of < .
Something was nagging at […]
On we go to crystal and herb.
Not so easy…………I had to think about whether the crystal would be green or gold/yellow. As I thought about it, I realized that I had to go for one of my favorites - green. Not just any green but a bright deep green. I pulled out my crystal chest […]
No that isn’t really a mispelling. It is a play on words, shall we say.
Looking out the window, it came to me what the scent and tree of Jera were. The pinon, of course.
At this time of the year (which is the time of Jera), the smell of roasting pinon nuts is in the air. […]
It is a beautiful day. Just the sort of day to go off into the mountains and enjoy the bounty of Jera. So off we went. Heading towards Colorado, up we went. The air got colder and crisper. The sky varied from a beautiful blue to a “Ohio” gray. It varied from clear to overcast […]
Today I tried to concentrate on the qualities of Jera. I know that it is a plentiful rune. Therefore I felt that it was associated with bountiful fields, fields of gold. So I knew that gold was one of its colors. But I felt that Jera also had another color. Not just the fields are […]
I didn’t do a lot of work with Jera today. Time was short after doing some house cleaning. However, Jera did show up while napping.
I dreamt of a golden harvest. It must have been wheat although there was a field of corn nearby. Most of the wheat had been cut down and gathered although there […]
My first journey with Jera was kind of disjointed. I started off underground and seeing all kinds of roots. Most were healthy, strong roots digging into the moist, brown earth. They “spoke” of growth and care. Then there was a patch of thin, scraggly roots. They looked dry and wimpy. They seemed to lack substance. […]
Jera is one of my favorite runes. I can picture the Witch’s Rune vividly. The wheel of Jera reminds me of the high back of a straw porch chair. Comfortable and indicative of the rest that comes at the end of summer’s labors. Then there is the corn dolly - another reminder of a harvest. […]
