Thurisa
Here is where you can find out the meaning of the Rune
Thurisa.
Thurisa is called the Gateway Rune.  
It’s glyph is used in drawing and
sketching gateways.  Gateways
represent moving from one space into
another.  Gateways and their symbols
abound in modern culture.  Whether it
is the gate at the secure neighborhood,
or the gate for the remote ranch, or the
“gate” of the doorjamb which is the
entrance to every home, the gateway is
a place of transference from one space
to another.
you have stepped through the gateway you will never be the same again.  Yet,
like the Phoenix who rises from its own ashes within the fire, you have matured,
developed and grown through the transmutive properties of fire.

Thurisa is aligned with the gas giant Jupiter.

Tarot Link:  Only the Emperor could hold the regality of the knowledge of
proper time and place.  The Emperor is truly in command of all that he surveys.
 He waits, watching the members of his Court, allowing them to show their true
colors to him.

Color:   Red, the color of fire and change.   

Polarity:  Gateway is masculine.  Thurisa invites you to step forth, but only
after proper reflection.

Healing Property:  One of the properties of the gateway is the healing essence
it brings to the human emotions.

Modern Letter Counterpart:  Thurisa is associated with the phonetic
combination of TH or P.

Special Runic Associations:  Thurisa is the Twelfth in the Cycle of Initiation.  
Speaking of the non-action to assimilate lessons learned, it hints at the promise
of the future beyond the gateway.  Thurisa is one of the runes in the Emotional
Healing Runic Grouping and the Protection Runic Grouping.
past that she is symbolically and physically leaving behind.  However, her eyes
rest on the one soon to combine with her in perfect partnership, creating a
bright future for them both.  This is Gateway’s power -- The power of passage
from one form of being to another.  

This rune features highly for those runemal that look at the progressions of
life’s progress.  Many believe that our life is cyclical and we repeat scenarios
which are similar although we may interpret them differently.  This theory can
be expressed with the oft repeated phrase “if we do not learn the lessons of
history we are doomed to repeat them.”    Whether interpreted for mankind as a
whole or the individual self, Thurisa calls you to wait at the precipice before
stepping off into the future.  Take the time to review where you have been as it
will allow you to appreciate your accomplishments and help solidify your path
ahead.  

Thor, the Norse God of War is aligned with this Rune.  If you’re of the right
demographic, you may remember Thor from Saturday morning cartoons or
comic books at the 5 and Dime store.   Thor was a major player in the Norse
Pantheon.  The association of Thor should not be missed and the fact that he is
still “alive” today in popular culture speaks much of his endurance.  We still
honor Thor in today’s calendar – Thor’s Day is Thursday.  

Thor’s aggressive association may be warning you that those around you are
being false or giving you false information.  Thurisa warns you to watch the
thorns among the roses!

Thurisa – Gateway

Thurisa belongs to Freyr’s Aett.

Key Word(s):  Thorn, defence, giant, and non-action.

Element:  Thurisa is aligned with the element of fire.  Once

Without gateways to show us that we are
transferring from one space to another we may
not realize the transfer has occurred.  Thurisa
is related to the heart.  Modern medicine has
shown us that there are valves (another word
for a one-way gate) within the heart.  When the
gates, or valves, work properly our hearts
pump sustaining nutrients and oxygen through
our cardiovascular system.  The steady rhythm of your heartbeat
is one of the ways doctors test the body to see if it is strong.  
When the gates or valves malfunction, serious medical issues may
immediately occur.

Thurisa speaks of standing in the gateway, ready to take the
step.  The young virgin bride stands in the arbor (another
representation of a gateway).  She can’t help but review her life
of innocence that she has lived until now.  With her father
escorting her towards her soon to be husband she reflects on her
