Berkana - (ber'-kah-nah) Growth
	growth and rebirth in all matters, birch (upright)

Berkana can indicate actual births or new beginnings. Watch for new opportunities. A good conclusion to starting anew may be indicated. Berkana is a healing rune, especially useful when contemplating the effects of illnesses and problems associated with childbearing. Consider the renewing powers of spring and the cyclic re-growth of the new season.
