Rūnes of Þæs Dæġ (Beorc)
Rune of þē dæġ: (Beorc)Beorc: ᛒ᛬ Modern “B”. Birch Tree.
(Purity, Birth, Becoming, Reward)
A Rune of seeds sown, rewards earned through past effort and is often seen as a positive Rune in divination. The Birch is one of the first tree species to repopulate Northern Europe and Scandinavia after the last glacial maximum. It is not to be confused with the Poplar/Salicaceae (Aspen) as they are not actually a related species. Birch is in the family Betulaceae (Alder,Birch,Hazel,Hornbeam) and closely related to the Beech/Oak family. Aspen are of the Salicaceae family or Poplar (Aspen, Cotton Wood, Willow) The Anglo Saxon Rune poem confuses this distinction in the line:
“Beorc” byþ bleda leas, bereþ efne sƿa ðeahtanas butan tudder, biþ on telgum ƿlitig,heah on helme hrysted fægere,geloden leafum, lyfte getenge.
The “poplar” bears no fruit; yet without seed it brings forth suckers, for it is generated from its leaves. Splendid are its branches and gloriously adorned its lofty crown which reaches to the skies.
Note that the line clearly shows in OE “Beorc” but is translated as Poplar when the word for a Poplar is Æspen in OE. I am not sure why the translation is presented in this way. The fact two words exist in OE describing two different trees leads me to believe the confusion is not from the ancient source.
