Thurisaz, like all things in the magickal world has
a number of diverse uses and so, as well as being the bringer of chaos, it can
be used to heal and defend too. The aura is your personal energy field and as
such requires both healing (or at least regular maintenance) and it requires
defending against negative influences. Thurisaz can offer these things when
fused into the aura during meditation. I therefore offer three meditation
choices on this post: the first is purely defensive – I like to call it the Thorn Bomb; the second is
protective – The Thurisaz Guard;
and the third is for healing – Auric
Asprin.
Thorn Bomb
This is a very defensive meditation; if you feel
yourself under attack on a regular basis, psychic or otherwise, this method of
arming your aura with Thurisaz power is a great way of levelling the playing
field.
- Sit comfortably on the
floor and light 3 red votive candles.
- Place
them around you in a circle, approximately 3 feet away from your body –
this is the approximate reach of the human aura – at least, it is the
approximate reach of mine. These candles will serve as a barrier for the
thorns. If you feel it necessary, you can charge them with this purpose:
Conceal
the energy ebbs and flows
As
my aura wanes and grows
Encircled
wax create the frame
A
protective shield of crimson flame
No
attack can penetrate
Exterminate
or extricate
While
this circle is erect
Red
defend, red protect
- Take
several deep breaths to ground, centre and reach a meditative, relaxed
state.
- Focus
on bringing the image of your aura into your minds eye. Its colour and
size are not important for this meditation but if you follow the
fluctuations of your auric energy, take note of them anyway.
- Watch
how it moves; does it swirl, does it have lightning streaks, plume like
smoke? Once you see the aura clearly, expand it out to the edge of your candle
circle, and then bring it in to your base chakra.
- Here,
rotate the energy clockwise until it becomes a swirling sphere; turn the
energy red, the strong powerful red of protection, courage and fire.
- Inside
the sphere, visualise a Thurisaz symbol and let it absorb the sphere. When
all of your auric energy is inside the Thurisaz, it will glow red.
- That
glow will pulse, faster and faster, building in power and palpitation like
a balloon growing until it pops.
- Let
it pop; the explosion of energy will return your aura to its original
state but there will be thorns protruding from the exterior of your
energy.
- Once
you are happy with the defensive energy of the thorns, bring yourself out
of the meditation.
There is a very comforting sense that you get from
knowing you are guarded, protected. I call this meditation The Thurisaz Guard
because the protrusion ofThurisaz' point is to me similar to a warriors sword or spear and this is how I drew inspiration for this meditation.
- Sit comfortably whilst
you ground and centre.
- Hold a Carnelian Thurisaz
rune and charge it with the following incantation:
Thurisaz, oh Thurisaz
In the aether please
protect
Keep me safe and guarded
When my aura I project
- Close your eyes and
breathe in deeply.
- Let
your body relax and allow your mind to wander into the aether.
- Once
you are in a state of meditation, manifest a visualisation of your aura
and expand it to its outermost reach.
- Draw
the image and energy of the rune symbol in your hand into your body; feel
it travel through you, bring it to your third eye and project it out until
you see it manifest in your aura.
- Move
it outside your auric field; the line of its shape should be flush against
your aura with the point facing outward.
- Once
you have this visualisation solid, duplicate your Thurisaz ‘soldier’ so
that there are many surrounding your aura, how number of ‘soldiers’ will depend
greatly on the expanse of your aura.
- Call
your ‘guard’ to arms with the following verse, spoken out loud or thought
internally:
Thurisaz, oh Thurisaz
In the aether please
protect
Keep me safe and guarded
When my aura I project
Let your thorn prove
punishment
To any who wish me harm
Let it serve as warning
Or by all means to
disarm
Your quest is hereby
active
And will not be undone
So I ask that unless in
defence
This guard will harm no
one.
- At
this point you can either continue to other astral/meditative work or come
out of your meditation but the guard is active and will remain so until
you choose to disarm/deactivate it. If you do wish to do that:
a)
Ground and centre
b)
Hold your carnelian Thurisaz rune
c)
Reach your meditative state.
d)
Expand your aura and visualise the guard in place.
e)
Recite:
Thurisaz,
oh Thurisaz
In
the aether you protect
You
kept me safe and guarded
When
my aura did project
But
now your quest is over
For
no threat is close at hand
In
thanks I say farewell to you
For
keeping me well manned.
Auric Asprin
I found a wonderfully inventive way to heal the
aura in a similar way to how I subdue a headache – at least the physical act of
subduing a headache. It’s not all meditation; it has some ritual elements too.
You
will need:
- Sugar paper
- Chocolate pen (generally used to write on
cakes)
1.
Cast a healing circle with lavender incense.
2.
Use the chocolate pen to draw a Thurisaz symbol 3
round pieces of sugar paper.
3.
Charge them by holding them in your hand and
reciting:
Healing
powers of the Thorn
Repair
my aura where it’s worn
Ingested
for a stronger boost
Auric
damage be reduced.
4.
Eat each one in turn and then close your eyes.
5.
Take several deep breaths and reach your meditative
state.
6.
Once you are aethric/astral expand your aura.
7.
Draw the energy from the ingested ‘runes’ with your
visualisation skills out into your aura. The energy itself will appear as
plumes of red smoke that expand as the energy pours into your aura.
8.
Let the smoke reach out to the edges of your aura
and thicken in any darkened or thin areas.
9.
Once all damaged/weakened areas of the aura have
been ‘smoked’, dissipate the smoke. The aura should be much brighter.
10.
Come out of your meditation slowly.
