Good Frigg’s Day! Todays rune is Thurisaz. While I usually think of Thor when this pops up, my mind goes straight to struggle/conflict. The reason being, I have multiple paths in front of me. The one on the left is stagnant, stale, and just that daily grind. I’ve always felt my art was my reason for being. Perhaps that opportunity is just around the corner. It’s not the easy path, but it is the path to living the life I’m meant for.
THURISAZ
PRONUNCIATION: thoo-ree-sahz
Struggle/Conflict, protection, contemplation, decisions, luck.
The rune is associated with struggle and the dangers involved in completing a challenge. It is concerned with aspects of protection and resistance to danger. It symbolizes a thorn.
Runic Inspiration: You must take risks to win, and since that outcome is not clear until the end, you must accept this truth and banish fear. It’s time to face your wild side. Thurisaz advises you to be mindful of your motives. Remember, what goes around comes around.
The power of the rune: The rune instills courage and clarity of thought each time we face risk and potential danger. It gives the wisdom of taking a protective stance rather than rushing to attack an adversary. It can aid in defensive magic, protection, decision-making, and good luck.
