Thurisaz is the enemy of unfriendly forces and it represents a mindful pause, the guarded gateway, lightning & thunder, increased awareness, destruction of hostility, awakening, regeneration, and protection. It is associated with the mighty oak. Runes have been used since ancient times as a means of divination, to send messages, raise power and as spiritual tools.
