It is conducive to working with children, medicine, care, gardening, real estate, everything that "grows".

Shadow of the rune: Berkano reversed

Berkano reversed means fertility problems (literally or creatively), overprotection, lack of development, family problems, a "child" who does not want to grow up, a house that suffocates. In love: mothering your partner, a relationship without passion, neglecting yourself for the sake of your family. In finance: a project that does not grow despite the outlays, spending on a house beyond your means. Lesson: the birch puts forth seeds - love that does not let go is not care. Shadow according to tradition: You're drowning out someone else's height. You want them to grow YOUR way - and this is 'your way'.

06

Gift and lesson of the rune

Gift: You educate. People grow around you. Your presence is like spring - something new is beginning to sprout. Lesson: True spring releases its children into the world. Learn to let go.
