The spread

  1. What is rooted Algiz Protection, and the instinct to raise an arm. What to avoid: Guarding something that is not under threat.
  2. What is rising Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.
  3. What must be cut Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
