The Witch's Corner

Today we have Thurisaz:

Typically associated with Thor and Mjolnir in that it opposes brute force methods as the giants are known for.
I've recently seen some people saying it isn't related to thorns, however historically I've always seen and felt this.
A relationship omitted or not considered when stating that, is the reactive property. This is very much a thorn like property, alike to a predator trying to take a nightingale from it's nest in a blackthorn, a reactive armour of sorts stabs the 'giant'.

This is a rune I've used in exactly this manner, a series of them around and with others. Placing it there and allowing the unconscious/natural forces play their part when danger approaches.

The 'directed force' property of Thurisaz can be related to Thor letting his hammer fly or lightning strikes - note that these can still be considered reactive, consider it like a protector that 'reacts' when shit gets bad.

This one is from the S1-S3 set, Stone/Moss.

Here is Ansuz, from S2-S2; Seasons-Summer.

Of particular interest to me, partly apparent in the description I included. It is also the Ash Tree, which some say is what Yggdrasil is, opposed to 'great oak'.
That tree is of note due to the pairing of Ash and Elm, Ask and Embla, Adam and Eve.
Some of you may recall my previous avatar having this symbol (and some other art).

Of Ansuz and Woden, you can see how what Ansuz represents fits quite a lot with Woden, the wise, the wanderer, he who first learned and taught runes to Mankind, who wrote poetry and song, etc.

Many people have come to associate Othala rune to Odin which is sort of incorrect. The obvious reason is the representation of the letter O, but other things have certainly affected that. Perhaps it is because of the Alpha and Omega relationship and that people forgot (or omitted) that Odin isn't actually the equivalent of the source creator. He is in fact (imo) a potential insert/modification by the church when approving texts and tales, etc. There are crossover works of art that have Jesus with a bird or two sitting on his shoulder.
Interestingly the last 3 runes in the Elder Futhark are Ng-D-O, so when reading backward we get ODNg. Saying it with the correct sound reveals a similarity.
Othala is in fact more directly representing homeland/hearth/divine inheritance (opposed to earned power)/Gift of Ing.

I realise I threw a lot of stuff to ponder there, but that's the whole point; provoking thought and open discussion. :D

That may be... never really explored the reason.
Just trusted my senses and did not touch.
but it that is so, why can I handle wood?
in fact, I love my cedar runes..

I'm here following along guys. Can't really post much. I have house guests tonight. But I am reading your comments

YAY I am not just talking to myself today XD

Can persons souls send out bad energy?

Like let’s say you meet someone

And they kind of effect your mind in some way (hazy, strong feeling in head)

Or you hear a curse

Or feel a spell

My question is. Can that person have no conscious clue this is going on and it’s inner within them doing it. Or do they know what they are doing ?

What do you mean mainly mental ? About casts or spells being heard and felt ? Is it magical thinking ? (Pardon the pun)

I been very observant lately

Certain people I talk to effect my mind like energy vampire you are talking about

Other people don’t

It’s refreshing

Well they do say

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Bro

I opens them doors wide open

I am still alive… so that’s a plus

Different energies perhaps?

I have many wood and natural material items. Each one has a different feel

Hey my phone died

Thanks for talking to me about this I have. No one to talk to about it other than Jesus he is the only one telling me I’m not crazy

I was cursed hexed spells sent at me. I had hellish consciousness. Weak mind. No energy

Now after all that

When I hear a curse now instead of it hurting me I’m okay and I just let it go and pray for them

I knew someone that said the same thing about her battery operated toys.

I saw your God card previously

I believe Jesus Christ is God

But if you believe Odin is God or that card is God(Ansuz)

We can still be friends .

Jesus said to love others that’s how they will know we are his disciples

I knew someone that said the same thing about her battery operated toys.

It’s odd timing you post that card and is breathe and spirit

I was just praying about Gods breathe and his spirit

But Jesus is God!

What did you mean by the Catholics controlling Jesus ?

Can you elaborate ?

Great discussion guys, I'll address what I can at some point today as well as post the next rune card.
There is a lot you've all spoken about that is intermingling and becoming jumbled.

Perhaps I should've written "The God, Woden" instead of "God, Woden", as I have with Tiewaz "The God, Tyr" - interestingly that rune traces directly to the Sky Father, Zui, Zeus, Deus, and so many others. Tyr actually means "God". There are many kennings for Norse Deities that use it; such as Hanged-Tyr for Odin. But we'll get to that VERY interesting stuff when we get to it.

Glad you're all enjoying and it's spurring on convo.

SeekingTruthAndHonor; how do you feel about Odin correlating to Jesus, only under a different name? :)

More later, my brian is being a moran. Needs more covfefe.

Death energy affects you heavily. You have a lot of light. It makes sense why it would be a repulsion to touch bone material.
