The birch is one of the first trees to grow back in cleared land. Berkano is fresh starts, new growth, motherhood and nurturing care, whether for a child, a project or yourself. Something is being born.
Reversed (merkstave): Stalled growth, or neglecting something that needs care. Tend to it gently.

Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
