Good Frigg’s Day! Todays rune is Thurs. Here, I see raw, unadulterated, brute force. On rare occasion, certain things in life require a less cautious hand and force us to go for the jugular, so to speak. There are times when we have to unleash our inner beast, now, I’m not calling for violence. But some matters need tending to straightforwardly and without hesitation.
ᚦ Thurs (“giant”) rune means “the god Thor, giant”. The rune of brute force.
Sound: “th”, “dh”
Meaning: Like the giant, Thurs contains a lot of power and strength. It was often used in bindrune or magic staves to bring extra power to the staves or bindrune.
Norwegian rune poem **
ᚦ Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu;
kátr værðr fár af illu.
Translation **
ᚦ Thurs
Giant causes anguish to women;
misfortune makes few men cheerful.
