Nú era Háva mál, kveðin Háva höllu í
allþörf ýta sonum, óþörf jötna sonum
heill sá er kvað, heill sá er kann
njóti sá er nam, heilir þeirs hlýddu [Havamal 164]
THUSSARAUN
(meaning "initiatory test") is linked (in the traditional rune poem
known as Malrunakenningar) to an ancient proto-etin (proto-giant) called
Fornjotur and to the rune Thurisaz (also known as Thurs in the Younger
Futhark).
In Havamal 164, the word óþörf releases the powerful
initiatory energy of the THUSSARAUN. The transliteration of the word
óþörf into Younger Futhark runes is ᚢᚦᛆᚢᚱᚠ (ur-thurs-ar-ur-reidh-fe).
Looking
at the runes which formulate the whole word (óþörf), the first ur and
the ar-ur surrounding the thurs (thurisaz in the Elder Futhark) can be
seen as strengthening the thurs, while the last letters reidh-fe make
the strengthened thurs both mobile and increased. How the thurs plays
out into the life of the initiate is solely dependent upon how the
individual handles the thurs rune.
A powerful but potentially
dangerous rune, thursiaz/thurs means thorn and conjures up preconscious
aggressive chaotic forces, both in the being of the initiate and in the
cosmos. Consequently, this is a dangerous rune to invoke, but this is
the rune which must be successfully managed and its energy controlled to
enter into the deep mysteries of the runes.
My newest candle THUSSARAUN has been handcrafted for ritual self-initiation into the runic mysteries.
Powerfully evocative, handcrafted with
premium all natural paraffin wax and pure cotton wick, THUSSARAUN
features the emblematic colors of the Teutonic peoples (white, red and
black), is generously scented with Saturn-associated Mimosa (and more),
herb charged with the 9 sacred herbs of Northern Tradition Witchcraft
(Mugwort, Plantain, Nettle, Fennel, Chamomile, Chervil, Watercress,
Crabapple Wood and Viper's Bugloss), painted with 9 hand painted
rune-red thurisaz runes, and wrapped with black and red suede leather
adorned with a silver metal Thor's lightning bolt (to aid you toward
control) charm.
