In its design, this rune is often too similar to Vunyo, and in some sets it is generally difficult to distinguish both runes from one another.
Name: THURISAZ or THURS great-tours; the Germans, however, associated it with a tower (Turm) or a gate (Tog), and the Anglo-Saxons with a thorn (Thorn). It is also considered a symbol of Thor's Hammer (Mjollnir).
Runic formula — ᚦᚢᚱᛁᛋᚨᛉ
Action of Turisaz: organizing space.
Deity: Thor, the thunder god (Jupiter). (???)
Top (Thorr), among the Germans Donar: god of thunder and lightning, son of Odin and Hlodyn, aka Fjörgyn; his wife's name was Siv, his sons (from the giantess Yarnsaxa) were Modi and Magni. From Siv he had a daughter, Trud. Controls lightning while wearing iron gloves. Thunder is the roar of his chariot drawn by goats. Armed with the hammer Mjollnir, he defeated the giants (which is why Tacitus identifies him with Hercules). A symbol of strength opposing Chaos. He had a red beard, so animals with red and red fur are dedicated to him - squirrel, fox, robin, redtail, etc., and plants - rowan and others with red berries, as well as oak. They were sacrificed to him in the spring. The day of the week Thursday (Donnerstag, Thursday) is dedicated to him.

The meaning of the Thurisaz Rune
A structured space for yourself. It makes it easier for the actor to perform other actions and creates a kind of “security buffer.”
The order in the early structured space is constantly disrupted, becoming chaotic inside and out. Insufficient order in the surrounding space is a stimulus for Thurisaz’s action.
The result of this action is the presence around the figure of an ordered external space “under him”.
Application of the Thurisaz Rune in magic
“Troll Rune”, designed to awaken the deep dormant forces of Nature and the human subconscious. However, one or even three troll runes are not enough to evoke “negativity”.
Rune of reflection. They write it, wanting to reflect before the decisive step, think everything over again, weigh all the pros and cons. It helps you concentrate, evaluate your actions, avoid hasty decisions, and protects you from deception and self-deception.
The main focus of the magical power of the Thurisaz rune can be characterized as structuring, ordering chaos - this is due, among other things, to the fact that this rune is dedicated to the god Thor - the god who protects the city of the gods from the forces of Chaos and fights with its representatives - the giants. It is believed that the Thurisaz rune effectively helps when it is necessary to concentrate and achieve self-discipline, during meditation, in any matter that requires clear control or self-control.
At the same time, some caution should be observed when working with this rune, it is often believed that its effect may have a somewhat unkind connotation.
Interpretation of the Thurisaz Rune in fortune telling
Mantic meaning: radical changes, radical revision of established views (often painful); chthonic forces, natural magic, the sphere of the unconscious, threshold states; resolving a problem through conflict, extreme measures (ideological conflict).
Relocation, forced movement. Don’t make hasty decisions, leave yourself time to think (the Old Norse word “thing” begins with this letter - veche, council, modern parliament).
The image of the Thurisaz rune is a man standing before flying on the top of a mountain: everything is left behind, everything is left below; wings must grow behind his back in order to step into the void, and in fact, to fly.
An important note to the reverse Thurisaz: action should not come from weakness. Weakness pushes a person to hasty actions. When he is strong, he acts quickly, immutably, with conviction in the correctness of his actions. Haste is an attempt to get rid of a burden from your head, to get rid of external troubles without resolving internal problems. If action comes from a place of weakness, it will lead to regret and dissatisfaction.
The primary sign of our life is mad rush and vanity. People have no time to be silent, to think, to reflect on what they are doing. They are like a furiously running washing machine that, instead of washing, tears the laundry into shreds. Our dissatisfaction with the past is associated with ill-considered and hasty actions. When a person switches to a slow rhythm, he enters the egregor channel. The man who acts slowly becomes strong. He immediately sees what is happening.
Qualitative changes in people's lives are not indifferent to the Cosmos. A change in the level of being attracts the attention of the Higher World. The hierarchy always monitors who moves to a higher level of development. Therefore, when entering the elevator, you should not fuss too much - there is a very serious company of assistants who know how to transform the human body. It only depends on him to give consent, to part with the past - to take the first step, and then everything will happen quite spontaneously.
The further a person develops, the more he understands that the lion's share of what happens to him, even if it is imitated as a free decision, free will, occurs under the influence of automatically acting laws, under the pressure of certain evolutionary mechanics. But this does not at all remove responsibility for decisions made independently before the Gate. The guardian of the threshold monitors exactly how sincere we are, how ready we really are to reconsider our baggage and enter new to another level. When faced with Thurisaz, you will find that this is the rune of very important turns and updates, for which, despite the current laws, a person naturally bears responsibility, because it happens to him.
Situation:
In straight position: time for reflection, making an extremely important decision. Fate gives time for a short stop, protecting and providing the opportunity to take an accurate and sure step - into something new. Don't carry the ballast of past experiences with you. You only need to take what you need.
Inverted: fate stops you, because you are going in the wrong direction! Fortunately, the situation is not too hopeless. Yes, you once made the wrong decision, arrogantly overestimated your strengths, did not listen to wise advice - and your actions brought more problems than they solved.
Features provided:
In straight position: make the right choice. Accurately calculate forces. Find a patron. With precise action, launch a chain of events leading to success. See the true faces of your surroundings and evaluate their potential.
Inverted: return to the starting point and do it all again. Although painful, it is very effective to cleanse yourself of illusions - both your own rightness and hopes for someone from your environment.
Rune's warning:
In straight position: Thurisaz affects not only you. It greatly changes the entire area of the situation and, above all, reveals the true face of each person. Therefore, everything that was hidden will come out - quarrels, resentments, suspicion, arrogance... You are given a chance to really evaluate the people around you and use their help in accordance with their abilities.
Inverted: turning back is very tough. Lack of understanding of the situation, blind submission to circumstances, arrogance, stubbornness without a deep understanding of the topic, haste, the desire to get more quickly and more - this is what led to failure. Don't blame anyone! Even if your plans were great, admit that they are impracticable, at least for now.
In straight position: wisdom, concentration, the ability to wait and let others speak, and then with one word, gesture, or action start the process - this is what you need.
Inverted: humility and the desire to realize your weaknesses are where your strength lies. You were given a lesson on what not to do.

The Thurisaz rune is sometimes called the Turs rune, both names are absolutely equivalent, since they are modern reconstructions and are not original. The variant Thurisaz is of Germanic origin, the variant Turs (Þurs) is Old Norse. We do not know what this rune, used in the common Germanic 24-rune Uthark and a number of later runic systems, was originally called. However, many researchers believe that the Thurisaz rune over time was transformed into the letter “thorn” () of the modern Icelandic alphabet, which corresponds to the English digram “th”. This is where the Old Norse reconstruction "Þurs" came from, which literally translates as "thurs", that is, "giant".
The Thurisaz rune, the meaning of which is multifaceted and in fortune-telling practice strongly depends on the alignment, in the most general terms can be reduced to the image of a powerful, irresistible force. Rune Tours is the rune of a critical situation that requires the exertion of all forces. This is not a negative rune; on the contrary, it often carries an obvious creative meaning. Even graphically, it resembles an ax, a weapon with which you can destroy a barrier or build a fortification.
- Semantics of the rune: blow (prick), door in the meaning of “opportunity”
- Rune transliteration: D (th, )
- Old Norse rune name: Thurse (þurisar)
- Norwegian rune name: Thurs
- Icelandic name for the rune: þurs
- Anglo-Saxon rune name: Thorn
- Germanic name of the rune: Thyth (Thurisaz)
The meaning of the Thurisaz rune, regardless of the context, suggests that we are talking about some changes, often drastic ones. However, it is rather the likelihood of change, the opportunity or need to change something, but not the action itself. That is why in some cases the interpretation of the Tours rune, the photo of which is presented above, can be extremely individual.
The meaning of the Turs rune in the upright position
Turisaz in an upright position indicates active protection, some action, a successful combination of circumstances, overcoming difficulties. Most often, the point is that the difficulties that arise in front of you should be perceived as a kind of test. Getting through the difficulties is entirely up to you. In this sense, the situation requires maximum concentration, composure, deep reflection, and in most cases, self-restraint. Until your position is analyzed, until you understand the situation and determine a clear strategy of behavior, you should not take any action.
Turisaz in a relationship indicates that what happened to you is not a blow of fate at all, it is just a “small injection” comparable to a vaccination. In order to easily handle more complex situations of this kind in the future, you should first practice on something less significant. The Thurisaz rune hints that you need to “slow down”, otherwise you may simply “skip” past a real opportunity. Whether it’s in the area of relationships or business issues, your main enemy is haste, the desire to do everything as quickly as possible.
Do not rush under any circumstances, as they say - measure seven times and cut only once. At this stage, there is no need to run forward headlong, such behavior will only lead to even bigger problems. You just need to pull yourself together and look at the situation with an open mind. Runa Terse advises: assess all the risks, deal with “unfinished business,” take your past experience into account, and only then boldly move forward. A new evolutionary round awaits you.
The meaning of the Thurisaz rune in an inverted position
Inverted Thurisaz speaks of lethargy, weakness (most likely spiritual, but possibly physical), inactivity, and inability to make an important decision. Reversed Thurisaz in a relationship can indicate insincerity, prejudice, and self-deception. You've probably faced the consequences of making rash decisions, having to travel with someone you don't want to be around. The Tours rune in love (if it is in an inverted position) indicates that you are afraid to look at the situation unbiasedly, without “rose-colored glasses.” You only act when you are “pressured” and that is a problem.
The rune gives a direct indication that any efforts you make to fix everything will only make everything worse. You don’t sit, your hands are complicated, but you act, but to no avail. However, it is important to correctly interpret the inverted Thurisaz. After all, the rune not only describes the situation, it also indicates that there is a way out! Under no circumstances should you give up, but you need to act more confidently and measuredly. In other words, you need to think very carefully before taking a step forward. This is not difficult, but you need to find the strength to discard everything unnecessary and understand where the root of the problem lies. The inverted rune Turs in love often suggests that the main difficulty is in yourself. You are biased, acting according to the will of feelings, not reason. You should definitely change your strategy.
Don't exaggerate your own importance. The world does not revolve around you and it is likely that you actually pay much less attention to others than you think. Catch yourself, don't suffer from delusions of grandeur. But even if you are right in everything, realize that there is no point in breaking into a closed door. The best thing you can do now is to clearly understand everything and perceive the experience for the future. Thurisaz reversed in a relationship can indicate that you may need to rest. There is no need to break off the relationship, you need to let the situation “settle”, do not rush to conclusions.
Using the Thurisaz rune in rituals
The magical uses of the Thurisaz rune are quite extensive. It can be used in active, dynamic, moderate-aggressive rituals to focus all your energy. The Tours rune allows you to clear the way, build something new, it does not give strength, but teaches you to use the resources and opportunities that you already have. It will help you win in a truly difficult situation. The rune allows you to concentrate, concentrate all your mental resources on a specific issue. Also, the Thurisaz rune (photos of its variations are presented above) can act as a talisman against deception, including self-deception.
Using the Thurisaz rune in runescripts
The meaning of the Turs rune in runescripts can vary significantly not only depending on the nearby runes, but also on its position. Actually, a similar pattern is typical for all runes, but in the case of Thurisaz there are some nuances. Most often it is used for protection, but in a targeted manner, unlike Algiz, which provides “general” protection. Terse is great for attracting success in any endeavor.
Terse is popular in magical practices related to love and relationships, as it helps to overcome misunderstandings and destroy obstacles caused by coincidence. Often, a well-composed runescript with the Turs rune makes it possible to take circumstances into your own hands and completely “immobilize” the enemy. Here are just some (the most popular) runescript combinations using Thurisaz:
- "Turisaz Teyvaz Turisaz." This is a powerful, targeted protective principle that can be focused on a specific person or area. “Turisaz Teyvaz Turisaz” suppresses directed negativity and opens up opportunities. Also, “Turisaz Teyvaz Turisaz” can be used to get rid of “outdated” and to combat bad habits.
- "Turisaz Gebo Turisaz." This combination allows you to get what you want. But this is not at all a notorious “freebie”; “Turisaz Gebo Turisaz” works if you have enough of your own resources, but circumstances interfere with you or you are missing some minor detail. “Turisaz Gebo Turisaz” in relationships can be used to stabilize and break the “vicious circle”.
- "Turisaz Hagalaz Turisaz." Although this formula is extremely effective, it should only be used in the most critical cases because it has a powerful kickback. “Turisaz Hagalaz Turisaz” is total destruction, and again, purposeful. Theoretically, "Turisaz Hagalaz Turisaz" in love can be used to break off someone's relationship. Of course, the consequences of such actions for you will be terrifying.
- "Uruz Turisaz". This is a fairly simple combination, which, however, is distinguished by impeccable functionality. “Uruz Turisaz” is used to “attract” something. This could be good luck in general or a specific blessing. Moreover, it is always better to specify the goal for Uruz Turisaz.
- "Isa Turisaz Isa." In general, the principle of operation of this runescript is identical to the scheme with Hagalaz. Only in this case we are not talking about destruction, but about introducing something (or someone) into a state of “non-movement”. For example, in love magic, “Isa Turisaz Isa” is used to suppress a man’s attraction to a specific woman.
- "Eyvaz Turisaz." A simple and fairly universal combination that allows you to protect yourself from a problem using, let’s say, active defense. The Eyvaz Turisaz runescript focuses all your aspirations on protection, your reflexes are sharpened, you act intuitively but correctly.
- "Turisaz Kenaz Turisaz." This combination allows you not only to block, but to completely “cut off” negativity that did not appear yesterday or even the day before. Often, “Turisaz Kenaz Turisaz” is used to get rid of curses, both personal and family. In addition, “Turisaz Kenaz Turisaz” protects against rash actions in critical situations.
- "Turisaz Algiz Turisaz." This runescript is characterized by increased efficiency and complexity. That is, to combine “Turisaz Algiz Turisaz” you don’t even need a specific goal, such a talisman will protect you “from everything.” But there is one nuance: “Turisaz Algiz Turisaz” is very energy-intensive and requires a constant supply of energy.
- “Kenaz Gebo Turisaz.” This is a rather interesting runescript that has a permanent effect. “Kenaz Gebo Turisaz” allows you to find a way out of a situation, solve a problem and instantly counterattack, that is, immediately start a new round (of a relationship or business). “Kenaz Gebo Turisaz” is a strong combination, but to use it, you need to have a clear understanding of what is happening and a well-thought-out plan of action.
- "Thurisaz Raido." The meaning of this runescript is obvious. "Thurisaz Raido" protects on the way. This could be travel or “climbing the career ladder.” That is, semantically, any phenomenon or event can be linked to the “Thurisaz Raido” runescript, but one must not forget that the Raido rune still denotes forward (explicit) movement.
- "Nautiz Turisaz". This runescript can be used in two cases: either to remove an obstacle and get what you want, or to erect an obstacle and block someone’s path to their goal. “Nautiz Thurisaz” is a simple but very powerful combination that can also be used in love magic. “Nautiz Turisaz” in a relationship can easily return warmth and sincerity to your home, but only if it is really necessary for both.
Of course, the Turs rune can be used in hundreds of combinations with other runes. With its help, you can create not only runescripts, but also powerful gang runes. Here it is important to understand one simple principle: for an ax to cut down a tree, you need a hand that will hold this ax. And the hand must be strong enough, otherwise the weapon will slip out and the consequences can be the most unpredictable.
Philosophy of the Teyvaz rune, genesis and semantics of the image
Rune Turs refers to the first attu (ettir), embodying the first phase of creation, the framework of the human personality and the Universe. After the emergence of creative potential (Uruz, the first atta rune), there is a need to “clear the path”, destroying everything old, unnecessary, unprincipled. This nihilistic principle is embodied by “thurs”, “giant”, and the Thurisaz rune. The meaning of the image in this sense is purely creative - it is a thunderclap, a flash of creation, it is the force that once fenced off the Cosmos from Chaos.
According to Eddic texts, thurs are the first living beings in the Universe. The giants began to create order among chaos, such is the potential and meaning of the Thurs rune - the possibility of a new beginning, the guardian of the highest legality. This is Themis, who holds a sword in her hands for a reason; she is ready to use it if the need arises. As already noted, the statutory outline of the Thurisaz rune (photo presented above) looks like a stylized ax, on the one hand - a weapon, on the other - a household tool. In the context of the obvious semantics of the image, many researchers interpret the Terisaz rune from a purely negative point of view. However, we should not forget that destruction is the destiny of the Hagalaz rune.
On the other hand, it is important to note that early Scandinavian scholars translated the word “ters” (“thurs”) not as “giant” (“giant”), but as “demon”. Of course, this is a deliberate but unsuccessful attempt by Christian missionaries to denigrate the original faith of the Scandinavians. After all, their giant is, first of all, the embodiment of the forces of nature, it is an element, an integral attribute of existence. And all the destructive power of the Thurisaz rune is directed only against that which violates the order of the Cosmos (again, in contrast to the semantics of the Hagalaz rune). Continuing the consideration of the “Christian” approach to the interpretation of runes (and their early researchers were Christians), we can recall that the Turs rune is sometimes called a “thorn”; it appears in the aspect of phallic symbolism along with the Teyvaz (Tyre) rune. Obviously, any symbols with sexual overtones were perceived by Christians as “unclean.”
However, a comparison with a spike is appropriate. After all, the thorn protects the rose from external negativity. Also, the purely masculine, military potential of the Thurisaz rune serves to protect those who need this protection. In this regard, the meaning of the Turisaz rune is not identical to the meaning of the Teyvaz rune, but these images are certainly close. Let's remember traditional European fairy tales, where the hero makes his way through thickets of thorny plants to reveal the truth. In such a context, Thurisaz can act as a defender of ancient truths, and if the researcher is relentless, he overcomes this difficulty and achieves enlightenment. In fact, such an interpretation of the meaning of the Ters rune, first expressed by K. Meadows, is really close to the shamanic tradition of Ancient Scandinavia.
That is, the Thurisaz rune in the form of a thorn rather than an ax can act as a kind of allegory for overcoming fear, detachment from illusions and self-deception. K. Meadows provides evidence that the Thurisaz and Odal runes were often used to mark property boundaries. Moreover, if Odal acted as a symbol of control (power), drawing the line between “mine” and “strangers,” then Thurisaz was used to protect against attacks from the outside.
- Potential of the Thurisaz rune: releasing power, protecting what is, clearing the way for a new beginning
- Basic esoteric qualities: accentuated protection, power (physical and spiritual), awakening, initiative
- Practical aspect in esotericism: a universal source of strength for defense or attack, clearing space of unnecessary “junk”, overcoming external difficulties
- Calling the Thurisaz rune: don’t rush things, think first and only then act, focus and get rid of what you don’t need
Of course, despite the amazing versatility of these runes, you need to work with Thurisaz very carefully. After all, as we remember, an ordinary ax for chopping wood can, if necessary, turn into a formidable weapon. In addition, the Terse rune will not give you what you do not have. It will allow your own resources to focus on the goal. But sometimes this is exactly what we lack to win - concentration.
Rune Thurisaz is the third symbol in the most popular Old Norse runic alphabet - the Elder Futhark. This is a very powerful and convenient tool that can help in both fortune telling and practical magic. However, the meaning of this rune is such that its power should be treated with extreme caution.
In the article:
Rune Thurisaz - description of an ancient symbol
Rune Thurisaz
Rune Thurisaz is included in att Freya and Freyr and occupies the third position in it, which classifies it as the runes of magic. Its translation is giant, or thurs. These creatures occupied an extremely important position in ancient Germanic and Scandinavian mythology, representing the primordial forces that existed in the world before the appearance of people and gods. In many ways, the Scandinavian giant thurs are similar to the ancient Greek titans. In Anglo-Saxon transcription, this rune is translated as “thorn”. Most likely a modern English word thorn(thorn) comes precisely from the name of this rune, which has lost its original meaning over the centuries.
The meaning of the Thurisaz rune is in many ways similar to giants. She personifies a frantic onslaught, unstoppable and powerful. Moreover, this onslaught is not necessarily combined with aggression or physical strength in general. It is not for nothing that this rune belongs to the runes of magic.
Like other runes, Thurisaz is also mentioned in the runic poem - a monument of Old Scandinavian and Germanic creativity:
Tours - torture of wives,
And a cliff dweller,
And Vardrun is the husband.
Unlike other runes, it is extremely difficult to find practical information in this verse. At the same time, real experts in Scandinavian magic can easily find tips for action here. In general, the meaning of this symbol in fortune telling and in practical magic is very different.
The meaning of the Thurisaz rune in fortune telling and its interpretation
Thurisaz inverted
The interpretation of the Thurisaz rune during fortune telling, as with all other Scandinavian symbols, depends, first of all, on the chosen alignment and the questions asked. However, in general cases, this sign often denotes some kind of inexorable change and upheaval. This means that soon something in your life will be swept away and it will be useless to resist this event. However, it is far from certain that you will get rid of something useful. So, this rune can mean getting rid of any negative situation.
It should be noted that the destructive aspect of Thurisaz in this case is always aimed at one thing, at some one aspect of your life. In this case, auxiliary dies can give a hint, by which you will find out what exactly will leave your life. Also, if you use inverted meanings for fortune telling, you can easily determine whether this deliverance will be positive or negative news for you. In an inverted position, Thurisaz will strike you, but in a straight position, you will strike something unpleasant.
Soon something in your life will be swept away and it will be useless to resist this event.
For example, you can consider the combination with the Odal and Thurisaz runes. In this case, these runes will indicate changes that will affect your family and home. If this sign falls together with the Fehu rune, then your financial condition will undergo changes. And with the Uruz symbol, you should be more careful with your health. It can either improve or worsen, depending on the position of the dies.
In addition, this symbol can symbolize your current state. If you are concentrating on one goal, you should pay more attention. Otherwise, without taking things apart, you may miss many small but important details.
Rune Thurisaz in magic and amulets
Amulet of the Thurisaz rune
Thurisaz is one of the runes of magic, as mentioned above. That is why it is in great demand among magicians and zzoteriki. So, it itself is considered the best amulet or symbol for meditation. The onslaught in this case means the destruction of barriers between the material and immaterial worlds. Using Thurisaz in practices or entering the astral plane can help you quickly achieve the desired result.
Thurisaz also has serious protective power. The very shape of the rune, reminiscent of a thorn, speaks about it. In ancient times, the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples often decorated doorposts with an ornament in the form of a continuously stretching Thurisaz rune. In this case, the jamb was framed with the “thorn” of this symbol outward - on the outside of the door, and inward - on the inside. It was believed that no evil could overcome such protection. Also, in general, this sign denotes active, effective protection from any evil intentions and alien influences. The power of this rune will deliver a powerful pre-emptive strike to the offender before he can realize his plans. This is exactly what the principles of active defense are.
The Thurisaz rune has an interesting meaning in the magic of relationships. It can be used for strong love spells, which are almost impossible to resist. For example, there is a known runic love spell of four repeated signs, which causes strong physical attraction. At the same time, such love spells will definitely backfire both for the magician and for his target, since this rune truly breaks all a person’s protective barriers. Therefore, they should be used with extreme caution, and they are definitely not suitable for developing serious relationships.
You should also be careful with simple amulets with this rune. You can resort to its power only when you know exactly where you want to direct the unbridled power of the magic hidden in the symbol. Otherwise, it will definitely turn against you. For the same reason, It is highly not recommended to get tattoos with this sign. But for solving clear short-term problems, in any aspect of life, it is very suitable, especially in combination with other Scandinavian symbols.
In general, the Thurisaz rune opens up a huge space for both practical application and fortune telling. But we must remember that its power is extremely difficult to control. Be careful and carefully weigh the pros and cons, and then you can succeed with it.
Keys of meaning: gate, field of fall, rest, place of inaction, God Thor, obstacles, thorn, inaccessibility, stop and rest is necessary. Sleep and peace. Cleansing. Warlike Rune. Farewell to the past.
Radical changes. Breaking through and clearing barriers. New start. Revitalizing strength and initiative. Patronage. The purposefulness of a powerful force. Determination. Instinctivity. Achievements and career potential. Emotional shock. Warning of potential danger. The most important thing is not to rush and time will tell the solution.
Inscription of the Thurisaz Rune. The first main line is drawn from top to bottom. Then step back a little from the top, put a point and measure down an angle of 45 degrees. Place a point and draw a line from the first line to the point - this will be line number two. Then, from the end of line number two, measure an angle of 45 degrees downwards and from line number two to the base, draw line number three, from top to bottom.
Element – fire.
Motto of the Rune Thurisaz. Think about your goal, whether it is as desirable as you think. Always remember that any obstacles only strengthen you and your willpower. Obstacles teach you new things and help you discover your talents, while enemies show you your shortcomings and what needs to be eradicated in yourself.

The meaning of the direct rune
The meaning of the Thurisaz rune says that in order to go further, you need to make a stop. Thurisaz - Rune of inaction. The time has come for reflection, which will ultimately determine the outcome of events in the future. For a person, this period is filled with obstacles. To overcome them, you need to turn to your inner voice, which will not deceive. It is worth remembering that passage through the gates without waiting is not possible. This is the stopping period. Here you find yourself face to face with the display of what is hidden inside you. This hidden must be brought to the surface and analyzed before the opportunity to make the right decision arises.

Your entire life path is behind your shoulders and down there. You are preparing to go through the gate and want to take a step forward, but at the last moment you stop. Stop for a minute and look at your past: the joy of victories, the bitterness of defeats - all this brought you exactly here. Look at all this and let it go with blessings. By letting go and forgiving your past, you gain strength. This delay is preparation for a new step forward, you are ready to take this step.
There are two sides to the Thurisaz Rune. One side is reflection and analysis of the situation. Secondly, the decision made must be implemented and put into practice. When a solution to a problem comes to us, the energy for action also comes. If the right time is missed and doubts take over, then the energy goes away, and the situation continues to escalate and consume the person.
Turisaz calls for caution and looking at the situation from the outside. It is always worth remembering what circumstances brought you to this point. Do not scold or condemn your past under any circumstances; it must be analyzed, considered from all sides, and released. Remove all attachments from the past, it is now just an experience, it is not presented in a bad or good light.
The meaning of the reversed rune
Key meanings: take your time. Unforeseen situation. Dangerous situation. Don't try to knock on closed doors. Hidden anger. Showing weakness. Weak condition. Rivalry and competitors in various spheres of life. Lack, deficiency of physical and psychological protection. Apathy and depression. Lies. Inactive feelings. Discontent. Thirst for revenge. Sharp and inappropriate reactions. Uncontrollable force. Difficult relationships with a person who is either unyielding and intractable, or who is specifically looking for reasons for discord. Dubious friends and partnerships. Most likely, it will take less effort to solve the problem than you think. Understand the underlying reasons for what is happening.
The inverted Thurisaz rune indicates that the person is passionate about self-deception. Luck is running out. You can't break into a closed door without knowing what's hidden behind it. A person can expect anger and disappointment. Overwhelmed by negative feelings, he will begin to express a desire for revenge.
Such a storm of emotions can be caused by a partner’s infidelity and deceitful friends. The appearance of sharp reactions carries with it serious consequences. You cannot rush to conclusions, because this concerns future fate as a whole. Until there are intelligible solutions in your thoughts, it is better to refrain from any action.
Inverted Thurisaz speaks of accelerated development. But even in accelerated development, stops are necessary. There will be a need to comprehend the old and integrate the new. Take advantage of such delays.
Always remember that the nature of advancement directly depends on the specifics of the position, the sincerity of intentions and the inflexibility of willpower.
Think about the fact that you are not tormenting yourself with your own suffering. Reflection and reflection again, that’s what is needed in the inverted Thurisaz Rune.
In this situation, hasty decisions will lead to repentance. Impulsivity must be restrained. Don't try to get out of places you haven't yet entered. Be calm, maintain composure and trust in the will of heaven.
Perhaps the plan contains a flaw that can ruin everything. It is necessary to rethink what was planned and find the flaw.
Do not create new difficult situations from unresolved old ones. If you feel weak, do not take action under any circumstances. This condition will lead to a hasty and not the best decision. Act only if you feel confident and determined.

Meaning in fortune telling
In love
She shows that not everything in the relationship is as smooth as it seemed. The time has come when you need to negotiate with your partner. Give preference to the cold voice of reason, without succumbing to heartache. The presence of Turisaz in the scenario indicates the appearance of an opponent. This person has coveted something that belongs to others and is ready to fight to possess it.
In this situation, it is worth thinking carefully about how important and necessary relationships are? How serious are the intentions? If retreat was never contemplated, and plans to tie the knot are also strong, then you need to fight! And if not, then there’s no need to rack your brains.
In progress
Runa says that at work and in business there is a real war for survival. There will be tough competition. Therefore, you should prepare to remain a winner. Otherwise, all your work will have to start from scratch.

Situation
Turisaz says this is an unstable period when hasty decisions lead to collapse and destruction. It is impossible to predict how events are likely to unfold. Anger and frustration will be replaced by a wave of enthusiasm. It is thanks to him that a person will find a loophole and bypass all the pits.
Personality
An ardent personality, driven to satisfy his desires and whims. Passion and energy are always present in a person, often an intemperate person.

Hi all!
Today our conversation will be about a complex and interesting rune, and I think that this post will turn out to be quite long, because I want to tell you a lot. So let's get started right away.
Today we will talk about the meaning of the Thurisaz rune.
What does it mean
Translated from Old Icelandic, “turs” means “giant”. In Scandinavian mythology, there are creatures from which people are successfully protected by the god of thunder and lightning, Thor. Thor is also from a family of giants, he is strong and brave, and he is the only one of the gods who can protect people from giants.
Metaphorically, giants personify chaos, and in this sense, Thor is the guardian of order. And the Thurisaz rune personifies Thor’s struggle with the giants, a constant confrontation. The interpretation of Thurisaz is closely related to this metaphor.
Thor has a hammer, which is called “Thor’s hammer,” and pendants with its image are considered a powerful amulet. For the ancient Scandinavians, it was a very powerful amulet, which they wore if they needed protection and victory over the enemy.
When Thor uses his hammer, it always comes back to him. Symbolically, this means that any of our actions generates a response, and we must be prepared for this. Thurisaz reminds us to consider the consequences of our actions.
Despite the fact that this rune is a powerful defense, it is at the same time capable of causing trouble for those who use it in protective magic or in the active, offensive aspect.
If a person needs to defeat an enemy, he can use the Thurisaz rune, but must be prepared for the fact that its power can turn against him. Therefore, it must be used with caution and skill.
In modern Icelandic, thurisaz is related to the word "torn", which means "thorn". If you look at the image of the rune, you will see that it really does look like a thorn.
The sign carries the energy of active action and the aspect of male sexuality.
Element
The power of the rune burns away the old, clearing space for the new. Therefore, her element is fire. Let's see what Thurisaz means in the scenario.
Personal sphere
In personal relationships in a straight position relationship means that some kind of conflict is brewing, and the conflict is quite serious. It is even possible that you will have to solve the problem not by workarounds, not by softness and flexibility, but by strictly clarifying the situation by setting conditions and ultimatums.
However, you must evaluate and understand how important this relationship is to you. If the Thurisaz rune appears in the layout, this means that active actions can lead to a break in relations.
In general, whenever Turisaz appears in fortune telling, you should think about the fact that activity in a given situation (no matter in what area of life) can lead to negative consequences. However, sometimes this is the only way to solve the problem. You need to think carefully before you begin to resolve the issue.
In this sense, the rune generally calls for not rushing into battle and not cutting from the shoulder, but first weigh everything and evaluate all the risks.
Also in love it can mean the male sexual aspect. Sometimes this is an indication of a person (most likely a man) with an increased level of aggression, who is capable of showing it towards you. Or he is a very active, assertive person.
In general, the advice that the rune gives in the upright position is the need to stop and evaluate how much you are willing to spend your energy and resources on this relationship.
In a positive scenario, it indicates to a specific person that he is able to protect you and resolve the situation quickly and effectively.
Inverted position:
There is tension, there may have been an argument recently or one that may happen in the near future. However, in general, everything is not so bad, and the problem can be solved. However, it is not necessary to take drastic measures.
It also warns that at the moment you may be overly arrogant. You should not arrogantly and self-confidently stick to your line. It is necessary to listen to your partner's point of view. Perhaps it is precisely the fact that you stand your ground too stubbornly and self-confidently that gives rise to conflict.
In career and business
In progress in straight position:
- tense situation, tough competition
- there will probably be some kind of aggression towards you. Someone is plotting or trying to set you up. You need to stop and assess the situation - think about what to do
- you are under powerful protection
- Receiving a profit
Of course, a lot depends on how you asked the question in fortune telling.
In general, turisaz usually does not apply to people who work in places with a calm atmosphere or not associated with competition at all. Usually this is still a male environment in which a person fights for his place in the sun and, perhaps, someone is trying to stop him.
Therefore, you need to be careful, adequately assess the current circumstances and make an informed decision in them. If a rune appears in a reading, then do not forget to also consult the runes surrounding it.
In reverse position: threat, short-sightedness, bad deal.
In health
If the rune falls out in a straight position, this means that drastic measures may be required, such as surgery or surgery. Or you need treatment with potent drugs.
It may also indicate an exacerbation of a chronic disease and the need to urgently take action. Very often, if it appears in questions about health, it means some kind of acute phase, inflammation.
Unfortunately, it also happens that if Thurisaz falls out, then little can be done in soft and gentle ways. But nevertheless, again, look at the neighboring runes. In any case, you need to be examined by a doctor.
Inverted position: sharp deterioration in health, exacerbations and relapses, be vigilant.
As a talisman
In amulet magic, Turasaz is used as a protective rune. If you are attacked, she will protect you. The only thing is, don’t forget about the double-edged sword. It is possible that at some point this force may begin to act against you.
There are runes in Futhark that I figuratively call “sharp”, and Thurisaz is one of them. Amulets with them, on the one hand, protect the owner, as, for example, a knife can protect, but, on the other hand, it increases his own level of aggression, and this can lead to retaliatory aggression from the outside world.
Therefore, I believe that such amulets should only be used if you know how to manage your emotional reactions well.
