December 2013

(as seen in Spirit Wise newsletter)


The rune for December is Berkano.  Berkana, beorc, Birca



Berkano is the rune of nurturing, of providing warmth and comfort and safety.  Berkano is also the rune of growth; of leaving the nest when the time is come.  
December is still part of the dark times, a time when we naturallly go into ourselves and tidy up, make resolutions, make plans for the future.  December is also a time to rest from the work and prepare for the party.  
And for December, Berkano is pointing from past to future.
We have been doing a lot of introspection already, in these past months, as we have worked and focused and harvested and balanced.  So, if we focus a little more on the celebration and a little less on the introspection, that is fine.  All the work we've done in the past is going to nurture and shelter us now.  There may be moments where our truths require us to step up and step out, but for the main, let it flow.  Let it be easy and joyful.  Berkano will carry us through.
Berkano.  Earth Mother.  Let this dark time nurture us, so we can celebrate with our whole selves when the light returns.

I hope you have a great month.
