Interesting that this Beorc rune is tied closely to my Goddess Freya who has promised me she is forever here to stay within my world assisting me along my soul journey. This is wonderful news to know that I am growing in my connection with she.. For the many of invoking and channeling I do when my light beings, and spirit guides find their way to me and I embrace them by acknowledging their presence in my life and learning more and more about them as I continue along my path.
The birch figures prominently in Teutonic customs as the symbol of spring awakening. It is the first tree in the northern forests to turn green after the long winter. In the Golden Bough Frazer describes how the Russian villagers would cut down a young birch tree in the spring, dress it in a woman's clothes and honor it with feasts and celebrations, then throw it into a stream. Frazer believed this last act to be a rain charm, but it was more likely a fertility charm. A variation of this custom was to dress the prettiest girl in the village completely in birch boughs. The slender trunk of the birch, its delicate leaves and silver bark which has the appearance of adornment, all contribute to ascribing feminine qualities to it. Likely it was related to Freyja, the goddess noted for her love of ornament and the most beautiful female in Asgard.
