Birch Goddess - BERKANA
The Berkana (ᛒ) rune embodies renewal of all forms of life and the nurturing power of creation. It symbolizes healing, protection, and the quiet strength that fosters transformation. Berkana does not hasten change; it tends it. Like the birch that bends in storm yet never breaks, it teaches patience and speaks of new beginnings - fresh paths unfolding after endings - and reminds us that true growth comes in silence.
This rune is a guardian of transitions, guiding those who step away from what no longer serves them. Berkana shows that renewal does not always appear as arrival; sometimes it is found in departure, in leaving behind the weight of what cannot be carried forward. It calls us to trust in the cycles of release and rebirth, to embrace the shelter that allows spirit and will to flourish.
“Through Berkana, every loss becomes a seed, and every silence a space for transformation to occur.”
In loving memory of Helen Mecklenburg-Bailey.
