Rune of thorns for magic-make

The little people know,
Of the children of the briar,
Many many well done things,
Of both good and bad.

What is hurting you the most,
Is the smallest little thorn.
And that smallest little thorn,
Is the biggest earth giant.

What you ask and need the most,
For the magic pay the price,
And this one of sacrifice,
A bit of blood in your hands.

Shaman's needles used to heal,
Hawthorn's magic you can feel.
Briars well grown none may pass,
All of them, they have to ask.

Shaman's arrows sent to kill,
Be poisoned they sometimes will,
Seen in soul, in mind or flesh,
Out of the wound while still fresh.

Not all bad from outside comes,
You yourself sure have done,
Get the thorns fast out of there,
You'll be better than you were.

Some of the best blessings done,
From the Hawthorn they have come.
Some of the worst curses done,
From the Blackthorn they have come.

Neither good nor bad,
The children of the briar,
This is a fine little something,
That you should learn and know.

Word/Concept: T is for trouble taken in your stride.

Stave: Thors hammer (mollijner) laying on its side, and the thorn from a rose bush.

Word/Concept: If you read the myths about Thor, he is shown as a large, strong, but noticeably thoughtless god who always gets himself into trouble, and has to use his trusty war hammer to get him out of it. It is not surprising that his hammer was worn as a talisman for Protection and Defense for this reason, this rune means exactly the same - protection from ones own folly, when you are un-able to influence the situation for yourself. This can sometimes be seen as 'luck'or the gods smiling on you (particularly Thor), but it is also the ability to circumvent problems before they become out of control. In this case it is best to look at this rune as the thorn of the rose bush; the temptation is to pick the bloom because of its beauty, but the thorn warns against such an action, unless you wish to risk injury. This rune can therefore also be seen as one of Warning.

Certains disent que thurisaz est mauvaise, d'autres qu'elle protège. Les deux sont vrai, mais les deux ont un prix, avec l'épine. Si le prix n'est pas payé, elle le prend, plus cher qu'autrement. L'épine, en magie, peut non seulement attaquer et défendre, mais sa magie peut aussi être utilisée pour guérir, quoique ce ne soit pas un usage facile. En divination, elle veut rarement dire une protection, ou alors une qui peut faire mal, potentiellement aux deux côtés. Faudra que j'écrive la rime...

A rune of thorn

We are the children of the briar,
uninvited guests
the knots untied
bright cords cut.
We cannot be forgotten
will not fall away
but wait in stillness
at the heart of the hedge.
