Berkana is the rune of spring, of ripening fruit, of the phoenix. It represents the growth part of the cycle of life.  Knowledgable use of Berkana can cause trees to bear fruit in winter or a vine to grow up to the distant clouds.

''Divination:'' Growth in affairs of the world, family matters or personal understanding and self-awareness. Berkana is concerned with the flow of beings into their new forms. Its action is gentle, penetrating and pervasive.

Berkana calls for a time without distraction and obstacles. Modesty, patience, fairness and generosity is called for to cleanse the dark corners and allow unfettered growth.

Reversed, berkana warns that events or outlooks are preventing growth. Diligence is called for to acknowledge and examine what has taken place. The needs of others may have been subsumed to selfish desires.
