The episode being released on our podcast server this week is entitled "Berkano, Beorc, Bjarkan or Bar". This is the second rune in the third row in every Runic System and is one of great importance for everyone to take note of!

The last Rune that we dealt with (Tiwaz) was a force that, among other things, propelled a person into a higher level of consciousness than they were previously aware was possible. It stands to reason that entering into a new level of consciousness and awareness leads to the power of the Rune that we're dealing with today.

Berkano is Rune that deals with protection from the perspective of pregnancy or gestation. This is a feminine Rune that reminds us of the sacred enclosure involved with the gestational process of living things. This type of protection is more of the hidden force than an extroverted force, and has a purpose which is the completion of the gestational process and bringing forth into birth a new type of consciousness. This all has to do with the increase of awareness where it comes to every aspect not only of multi verse but of the soul complex itself. There has been connection before in the initiatory process of the Runes, but this is far more involved as it is bringing forth a maturity of that connection. The next Rune that we will be dealing with is the result of passing through the power and initiation of this Rune Berkano! You go from having mere connection to your fetch to being united with it in much the same way as a man and wife, or a horse and rider!

Until next time...
