Good Thor’s day. Todays rune is Bjarkan. Every time I’ve seen this rune I can’t deny that it pulls me closer to Frigg. Properties of rebirth spiritually here as well. But that doesn’t compare to the feeling I have to just listen to what the All-Mother and her handmaidens have to say. Between them, I feel that every lesson I need to learn lay with her, and them.
ᛒ björk/bjarkan/bjarken (“birch”) means “birch tree”. The rune of the Goddess and birth.
Sound: “b”, “p”, “v”, “mb”, “mp”
Meaning: The birch twig represents rebirth and purification as does the rune Bjarkan. It is also a woman’s rune symbolizing gestation and birth.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᛒ Bjarkan er laufgrønstr líma;
Loki bar flærða tíma.
Translation **
ᛒ Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub;
Loki was fortunate in his deceit.
