Description
Thursaruna: Secrets of the Giants offers an initiatory descent into the primal forces of the Thursian current—the ancient, chthonic underlayer of Norse cosmology aligned with chaos, entropy, and transformation. Moving beyond abstraction, this work provides a complete, progressive, and experiential system for learning the runes as living, animistic powers intimately tied to the raw forces that shaped the worlds. Structured around a newly crafted rune poem of the Elder Futhark dedicated specifically to the giants, Secrets of the Giants guides the reader through daily rune practices, embodied spellwork, and spirit-centered rituals designed to awaken the wild currents that predate and transcend the established gods of order.Drawing equally from historical sources, mythic memory, and living magical praxis, Secrets of the Giants challenges conventional narratives that seek to domesticate the runes or strip them of their ancestral ferocity. Instead, the practitioner is invited to forge direct, personal relationships with the beings of ancient upheaval—the Thursar—and to approach the runes not as abstract symbols but as gateways to transformative forces. This path demands engagement of the senses, will, and spirit in equal measure.
In addition to foundational methods, Secrets of the Giants equips the practitioner with a corpus of practical magical tools: fifty epithets for deeper and more specific work with the major Thursian figures; thirty-one original staves crafted according to the principles of Scandinavian black book traditions; and operational guidance for designing spells based on techniques drawn from historic Icelandic sorcery. Through these methods, the runes cease to be inert relics and instead become living thresholds—keys to reclaiming the latent, chaotic forces buried in the roots of being. This is not a path for those seeking comfort or safety, but for those willing to descend, disrupt, and reforge themselves in the image of the deep.
