Auspera

Thurisaz

thorn · Rune 3 of 24 in the Elder Futhark

Upright

A prick from outside: someone else’s will across yours, a collision, a sharp word. Not every thorn is an enemy — sometimes it stops you in time.

What to do

Do not answer a prick at once. Give yourself an hour and only then decide whether to answer at all.

Reversed

Trouble of your own making. You push in where you are not expected and are surprised by the pushback.

What to do

Find the place where you are asking for trouble and step back one pace. Once, as a trial.

Freyr’s ætt

The first eight: life, gain, craft — what people live by
