Thurisaz reversed is the expression of a harmful power that is turned around to be protective and guarding. It is not focused on the querent of the reading (such as myself) but instead is keep harmful influences in abeyance. I think for myself part of this extends from the personal work of cleansing that I engaged in today, that by cleaning away any harm that maybe on me, It works to keep it further away from me as well.
I just had another thought about the power of Thurisaz. Part of it’s ability is to penetrate past barriers, either ones that have been constructed, or one that are inhibiting a person. It does this not by overwhelming them, but by finding the weak point, the flaw that when it is struck, bring the rest of the structure with it. This could also be shaped into helping one perceive those key areas, whether for good or ill. If you can perceive your own weakness, you can work to overcome it or transform it. If you can see what composition of the pattern, you can determine how to change the pattern, whether for good or ill, and to know what to do and when to do it to make those changes occur.

The thorn reversed sits with us today, showing the trials and tribulations of others, while we sit protected in the briar patch. For now, we have found a secure place amidst the thorns, where they aren’t pricking and poking us, so we can have a moment of rest, before you struggle across the path of thorns, which is of course, life itself. In one of the small books by Draja Micharaic (I think it’s spiritual cleansing) he describes what harmful magic by a powerful worker would be like. It would be like nothing. A life where everything happens without difficulty or challenge, because the target has become the pawn, puppet and servant of the worker utterly, and so everything goes forward as the worker plans for the person without difficulty. That is what a true curse is like. Why? Because a life of liberty and responsibility will always have difficulties and challenges, every rose has its thorn. Some days are just less thorn ladened then others.

It appears the last week of February was a preparation for the whole month of March, as we are returned to Thurisaz reversed. There is a protective quality to thurisaz reversed that is like being a small animal who seeks protection amidst the thorns and briars. Because of being the type of being you are, you can be safe inside there, as you move cautiously past all the sharp thorns and pricks, meanwhile the predators, those who are coming after you, are not able to move through them successfully and are cut and pricked, and so leave you alone, allowing you to continue going on. Yes, they can be severe on you too, but for right now, they are protecting you from harm.
Another quality that Thurisaz has is the ability to slip past or penetrate defenses, obstacles and blockages. Looking at a small thorn, it seems such a tiny harmless thing, but yet they can just slip right through even the best protection and prick you. Many times as child growing up, I have been pricked from thorns of plants in my mother’s garden, even though I was wearing heavy denim and leather gloves. I made the wrong move, or that one un-protected spot just got through and pricked me. Thurisaz is also good at finding that one un-protected spot, that weakness, that chink in the armor. In the reversed state, you can use that to your advantage. It is an opportunity to break through obstacles, but also personal barriers to reach your desires or goals.
