I will also be adding a recommended reads section in the future, once I am certain about how to best go about that. I am not the best source for information on heritage and prayers, however -- that kind of question I think is best asked of an Asatru or Heathen or other pagan who has a stronger grasp of the traditional religious significance. I also want to raise the point that the Elder Futhark runes, that is the 24 runes as represented on this site, are pre-norse and show up much earlier, 200-400 CE. The Scandinavian (Norse) mythology, and the associated Younger Futhark appears around 800 CE. Does this help?

Representing Thor (and his hammer Mjolner) it can bestow his power to smash through obstacles and barriers, and protect against hostile enimies and danger. Thor is the strongest of the Aesir, and it is his role to protect both the gods and mankind from the dangers of the giants. It is said that Thor has a mighty temper, and a short fuse (very much akin to Thurisaz energy) so when evoking the powers of Thurisaz, it is important to keep a focused positive mind in order to keep the very potent unconscious instincts of this rune under control. When used like this I have found that Thurisaz is a very positive Rune to work with, especially when getting past the negative energy left around by people that can contaminate an area or idea. That is the wonderful thing about consciously using Runic energy, we can (depnding on our Wyrd) shape which aspects of the Runes manifest, and weather they do so positively or not.

It is, however, a rune of power and it donates a need to 'prick at' (thorn) and challenge (sometimes with a hard blow) something around us or within us. Given that your reading primarily indicates a journey of change towards health and wholeness (sowilo), you are likely to encounter a few pricks along the way. I'd suggest the Thurizaz is saying you may need Thor's courage and also the ability to take or give those 'pricks' as required to complete the journey. I've often found it to mean a need for confrontation. Also, while Sowilo means ultimate success - or at least eventual wholeness with increasing health along the way, I don't think it denotes and easy journey toward that goal. It is showing you that this is the right pathway, though. I hope these thoughts help a little. Stephen:
