Google search: The Berkano rune, also known as Berkanan, is a symbol of continuous growth and rebirth, complete renewal in all aspects, mental, physical, and personal growth.2 It represents the way of the mother, the healer, and the midwife, and brings new life after death, just as the birch tree forms the first leaves after winter.1 Berkano speaks of fast, eager growth, and the crying of baby animals calling for food so they may grow strong.0 It is considered the "mother" rune, a sign of fertility, creation, and care, a fertile movement that leads to flowering and maturation.2 The birch is the first tree to awaken in spring, and so the rune Berkana is about the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
