pierced sleeve hearts
drive to pale hollow
shadow, wraith and man
dreaming verdant gardens
there, in tanglewood
desolation, an angel, iron sea
thunder sparks the stone
him in waiting
A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.
Today’s rune is thurisaz, which has several core translations: “thorn” or “giant”. The rune is often associated with pain or discomfort (often for an important transitional or transformative reason) or raw power that may be destructive. It is also considered protective, regenerative, and is frequently associated with women’s menstrual health.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.
