The ash tree, symbol of strength, endurance and wisdom, for the
world tree Yggdrasil (which supported the nine worlds of Norse cosmology) was made of ash.
Beorc - B
The birch, symbol of the Mother Goddess. Because of its
association with the birch trees that covered Norway after the last Ice Age, it represents
rebirth and new beginnings.
Cen - C and Ch - K
The torch, one of the fire runes, that was used to light the dark
halls of the Vikings during the long winter nights. So it has come to represent the
inner voice and flame.
Daeg - D
The dawn, the awakening and enlightenment, the light at the end
of the tunnel, and is named after Daeg (son of Nott, Goddess of Night), whose radiance was
so dazzling that the gods fashioned him a chariot drawn by a pure white horse, Skin-Faxi
('Shining Mane'), who also emanated sparkling light.
