All of the Runes have an image, or symbol, that sets the train of recollection, ideology, and meaning in motion. This image isn't the 'meaning' of the rune, it is the picture that sparks off of the meaning and gives it form and reality.

The prompt-symbol for Beorc is the Birch tree. In all of the cultures it graces, Birch stands for Spring, beginning, and newness. Its message is to go ahead and start, that the time for beginning the contemplated endeavor is now. She is the dancing girl in the woods, leafing out at the start of the season.
