Berkana Upright Meaning
Berkana upright is a rune of fertility, new beginnings, and that your manifestations are incoming. It also represents Divine Feminine energy, and some think its image represents breasts. Fertility not only means the literal ability to conceive flesh and blood but points to creative force and energy.
When Berkana comes out in conjunction with Tiwaz, the union between the two can be interpreted as a good romantic and energetic match.
Berkana Reversed Meaning
Berkana reversed could indicate blockages with fertility or creativity. In readings where multiple parties are concerned, it could indicate a third-party situation or trouble with the family.
Magical Properties of Berkana
Berkana helps bring manifestations into physical form as the process of birth brings lifeforms into physical being: this particularly relates to those of the creative process. It can also help you be reborn spiritually.
It can help with love, protection, concealment, creativity, holding together powers, and strengthening relationships.
