Year of the Hand

JustIce was a gift from Maggie to her son for his 22nd birthday. She wears a henna tattoo on the palm of her hand, with an ancient symbol painted in the middle known as Jera (pronounced Year). “Given the personal investment I hold in the gift of JustIce, to my son, I took great care in selecting a logo that can uphold a great change that will be challenging, as is in the case of addiction, and even more in the case of ice addiction – where the grip is particularly relentless,” she said. A rune that holds many meanings, Maggie said the painting speaks of the hard work and determination required to create abundance within one’s self, and in particular speaks to the meaning of harvest for a good year. “Jera is a rune of patience and harmony with bringing abundance and plenty. Jera has to do with timing. It is the maxim: This too shall pass”. “I wanted to give [my son] a better way of being, a place he can access immediately for support – and so I have. I made him this place, where resources and knowledge is all available in one place. When he’s ready – JustIce will be waiting for him”.
