Jera

Oh youth of Yule
Your yearly yield and
Yellow yesteryears
Finalizing in festive
Fulfillment of fertility

The cycle of seasons
Started by Ostara soon
Signal’s summer’s start
The Horned One is here
To help with our harvest

Isa

Steadfast and subtle
Safe and secure
So stoic and solid
Cold character
Constantly controlled

Formidably firm
Frozen with frost
Finds itself foolishly
Inflexible as ice
Insisting upon itself

Nauthiz


Frustrations from failure
Finds further frictions
Finally forcing the fight
Need knows from nothing
Necessity knows from nothing

Resistance to the rime
Restraining the wrong
Results in resilience
Stress and strains
Show signs of serious struggle

Hagalaz


Hail is heavy and hard
Hurtful to the harvest
Sent solid from the sky
Soon sinks into the soil
Starting a second sowing

Divine devastation
Destruction and death
Create out of crisis
Cultivate from the corn
Cut down by the cold
