tossing a rune — 22jun25

through the pass
we may yet recall
all of those parts of us
long since forgotten

Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

Today’s rune is berkana, which has a core meaning “birch”. Birch are often the first trees to populate areas after a forest fire and, by extension, are associated with new beginnings, purification and rebirth — all of which tend to be related to the eternal feminine.
