Thurisaz is the rune of defense and gateways. It is also associated with Thor, the God of thunder. This rune is associated with war and the daily fight against the enemy; it is the weapon that helps us to defend ourselves and to offend; it is the sword of the warrior. It can also assist the fight against the worst within us. It invites us to stop and reflect, to stop fighting ghosts and to start analyzing yourself, what you are, your essence. Thurisaz is the fight for trust in yourself to overcome obstacles.
