The Ear
ᛠ rune of the ea. Earth, healing energy,
body, home.
Death is the end of all.
Even the most powerful
and wealthy people
are seized in the end.
Yet don't despair,
for life goes on
and so do all which die
come back to some form of life.

Ear symbolizes the grave that we will all return to, the dust
our bodies become after death. More
generally Ear signifies the unavoidable end of all things. It is not death as seen in the Tarot, it is
not transformation, it is the dead-end where the physical form ends. This rune
has no association with what happens after. Some things in life come to natural ends and cease to
have use or purpose, this rune is that end. When the physical body dies, all
oaths end, what happens beyond is not our concern, that is all the concern of
the Gods.
Connected to the North, Earth is considered the ultimate
feminine element. The Earth is fertile and stable, associated with the Goddess.
The planet itself is a ball of life, and as the Wheel of the Year turns, we can
watch all the aspects of life take place in the Earth: birth, life, death, and
finally rebirth. The Earth is nurturing and stable, solid and firm, full of
endurance and strength. In color correspondences, both green and brown connect
to the Earth.
Ear then is a simple rune to understand, and is useful for
putting things to rest, ending bad relationships, cutting ties, ending patterns
and accepting that inevitably, everything comes to an end.
