Birch is one of the first trees to grow on bare soil and thus it births the entire forest. Children's cradles were made of Birch. The tree bark is white, the inner bark provides a pain reliever and the leaves are used to treat arthritis. Criminals were at one time birched to drive out evil influences on them, to renew them for the new year. Axe handles were also made from Birch. The Amanita Muscaria grows well under the Birch. Birch indicates new beginnings.

Mental: Concentrate on your desire, the image of the result wanted must be held firmly in mind.

Spiritual: For a new beginning focus on the white of the birch, it stands out clearly from distractions and obstructions.
