From The Book of Pagan Prayer

Prayer for Summer's End
* The door is starting to swing from hot to cold.
Although it is still summer, occasionally a cool day comes. The pokeberries are purple, the sassafras is starting to turn, and the gardens are heavy with tomatoes. It is a time to stop and pay attention: the spirits of the land are very busy. I pray to them at this liminal time to open my eyes.
Don't let me wake one day and ask where summer has gone. May I be aware of its going, and be as thrilled with it as I was with the arrival of spring.
* Late in the summer, with the Sun still blazing, I meet with the startling sight of sassafras leaves, turned already to tongues of flame.
They burn away the remnants of summer, a sacrificial pyre for the year's offerings, set to summon the fires of fall.
Spirits of sassafras, many thanks to you: your message will not go unheeded.

Rune of the Day

18
BERKANA

Pronunciation: B
Ancient meaning: Birch
Variations of the name:
Old English - Beore
Germanic - Berkana
Viking - Bjarkan

Essence
Berkana means "birch" and is connected to grace, beauty, and femininity.
The rune symbolizes a woman in all her traditional roles: mother, wife, sister, and daughter. This rune has a receptive energy, and its strength lies in welcoming, understanding, and nurturing. Birch has a great creative and regenerative force, and thus Berkana is the rune of sensuality and maternity. It is closely connected to the arts in the sense of energy that creates and transforms.

Message
Berkana speaks of tenderness as a necessary energy for taking action in the world. Regardless of your gender identity, you are living in protound harmony with your feminine side in this moment. You feel compassionate and full of inspiration. There is nothing competitive in your interactions with others. You are motivated by the desire to understand them and make them feel good. Your creative abilities are highly stimulated by this rune. This is an excellent opportunity to create something. Berkana also speaks to the desire to be a parent and to start a family.

Warning
Berkana pressures you to get in touch with the most vulnerable parts of yourselt. You must take care of these tender parts and become a parent to yourself first. This is the time to heal the wounds of childhood. Only by recognizing your own weaknesses can you become a strong adult. You must not make the mistake of only paying attention to some aspects of your being while neglecting the more fragile ones.

Questions
Are you capable of looking atter others?
Do you have a desire to bring something into the world?
What feelings do children inspire in you?
What sort of relationship do you have with your parents?
Are you creative?
Do you feel blocked in expressing emotions?
Are you sometimes ashamed of your feelings?
Do you frequently blush?
Are you comfortable around people?
Would you like to have a pet?

Talisman
Berkana protects children and women and stimulates your creativity. It assists in actual and symbolic births. It gives serenity and makes you generous and altruistic.

Visual Meditation
Berkana is related to the birch tree. It is a rune of gentle and sacred energy It expresses the tenderness of life and its tragility but at the same time also its tenacity. Berkana is a rune of protection but not a warrior protection as might be provided by a shield. This protection is like that of a loving mother who has no desire for control and is willing to let go of what she has protected. Berkana's energy is said to depend on the moon. Like all female mysteries, it is cyclical. It also represents silence, the first requirement for truly listening.

Keywords
Positive: Creation, sensitivity, artistic talent, aesthetic sense, love of children and animals, maternity, the ability to nurture Negative: Possessiveness, problems in the family, creative block, sterility, uprooted, difficulty in finding one's path, lack of tenderness

Blessed Mahon friends

"As autumn returns to earth's northern hemisphere,
and day and night
are briefly,
but perfectly
balanced at the equinox,
may we remember anew how fragile life is —
human life, surely,
but also the lives of all other creatures,
trees and plants,
waters and winds.

May we make wise choices in how
and what we harvest,
may earth's weather turn kinder,
may there be enough food for all creatures,
may the diminishing light in our daytime skies
be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance
in our hearts."
