Thurisaz and Laguz Rune Combination

In this order Thurisaz is the topic and Laguz the qualifier: a sharp drive aimed into the world of feeling and intuition. Freyr's aett here speaks of vital force seeking an outlet, while Tyr's aett through Laguz answers for the inner layer, for what runs beneath the surface. Their meeting gives passion on the edge of a storm, when strong action wakes deep emotion. On its own Laguz is soft and flowing, but Thurisaz before it turns calm water into a churning current. The pair speaks of the moment restrained feelings break loose, and the task is not to let them sweep away your footing. The force is there, the instinct is there; you only need to steer the wave rather than drown in it.

Thurisaz brings passion and sudden closeness, and Laguz deepens it into a strong emotional current. In this order the flare of feeling comes first, and it wakes a depth the partners usually avoid. For a couple this is a stormy but honest talk, after which the water settles and closeness returns. For singles a charged, intuitively familiar meeting is possible, one that grips at once. Laguz advises not letting the passion of Thurisaz flood your reason: feel the bottom, keep your link to yourself, or emotion will overwhelm you and the choice will be made with a hot head.

Thurisaz gives drive and readiness to break through, while Laguz suggests acting on instinct rather than a rigid plan. In this order the bold move comes first, and intuition helps fit it into the flow of circumstance. It is a good pairing for work that needs both resolve and sensitivity to people: negotiations, creative work, reading a team's mood. In finances the pair advises a calculated risk checked against your inner sense rather than against thrill. Laguz cools the haste of Thurisaz: if instinct says stop, murky water may hide beneath a pretty opportunity, and the deal is better double-checked.

If Laguz comes first and Thurisaz qualifies, the topic shifts from breakthrough to feeling. Then intuition and the emotional current lead, while the sharp force only pushes it toward action: a stored feeling seeks an outlet and finally breaks through. Here, by contrast, the drive is primary and the water follows. For the full reading of the swapped order, see the Laguz and Thurisaz page.

Aim the force of Thurisaz precisely, but check it against the instinct of Laguz. If a wave rises inside, let it settle first, then strike at the matter, not at emotions. The breakthrough works when drive and intuition act together rather than argue. Do not cut deep where the water is still murky.
