Berkano/Birch/Birth

The runestone featured at the top of the image is Berkano.

"This rune is related to the Great Mother, the Earth Goddess, and is symbolically represented as the breasts of the mother of life from which all are granted nourishment... Berkano is the mother of manifestation and of birth and rebirth. The birch tree is her symbol and was often planted before a home to protect it in Scandinavian countries, and the custom continued to be observed in America when settlers built new homes. The birch continues to this day to be a source of a natural form of aspirin (salicyn), just as birch teas have long been valued for the comfort and ease they can provide."
