Thurisaz is the directed cosmic force of destruction and defense. This rune is a symbol of lightning and thunder and is associated with Mjollnir, the hammer of Thorr. This weapon is the protector of Midhgardhr and Asgardhr. Just as the
thorn protects the rose, so too does Mjollnir protect Midhgardhr and Asgardhr.

Thurisaz is the forward-thrusting force of destruction of powers hostile to cosmic order. These hostile powers are not "evil", they are just harmful to the way of life demonstrated by the gods and expressed in mankind. It is a projectable form of applied power. May be combined with other runes to direct their force.
Thurisaz is also a rune of regeneration and fertilization. It breaks down barriers so that new beginnings may occur. It is a catalyst for change.
This rune is a sign of the psychosexual symbolic response, which in unconscious individuals leads to compulsion and in conscious ones to transformation.

Betrayal, compulsion and defenselessness.
