THURISAZ is the second last RUNE in the Great Cycle. Powerful forces are at work with THURISAZ, tranformational forces that require you to wait and contemplate your position. This Rune is a gateway, a door between planes of existence. Before you even attempt to approach such a doorway. THURISAZ indicates that there is work to be done inside and outside yourself. The gateway must not be approached or passed through without first clearing and modifying old habits and faults within. Do not make any inportant decisions at thi stime Visualise an ancient gateway atop a high hill, your life is stretching out behind you. Before stepping through, turn and look at your past. Be brutally honest. Observe the good and bad that has been, the highs and lows of your life, the regrets and happiness, everything.Give it all your thanks in the form of a simple, heart felt blessing and then release it.For in recognition and release of your past you reclaim your Spititual power. Step through the gateway now. REVERSED: THURISAZ is an acceleration of development. As this growth process accelerates you will find reasons to stop and reconsider the past andassimilate the new. If you are experiencing difficulties, remember that your attitude affects the quality of your passage. Contemplation is the key here. Hasty decisions will cause regrets at this time.
