To the ancient people of Europe, the Beorc (Berkanan, Beorc, Bjarken, Bjarka), translated to birch tree, was one of the most sacred living symbols within their culture. Not only was the birth tree a living representation of purification and regeneration, it was a personification of the Earth Mother. As a rune of hidden transformation and growth, Beorc is particularly potent in all workings of women’s mysteries. Within all the female children of Earth Mother exists the innate material insight of intuitive reasoning. Illumination from this rune enables one to magnify the raw essence of these powerful gifts.
