Nauthiz is rune of binding and pain. Defensive wards and compulsions will usually utilise Nauthiz. Nauthiz reversed (a subtle distinction) can be used for curses, especially when creating a cursed artefact. Combined with Mannaz, Nauthiz can be used to cause pain to a target without a physical mechanism. This is one of the darkest magics, used for torture and evil purposes.

''Divination:'' Obstacles will present themselves. Holdups should be used to consider plans carefully. Old debts should be paid off and repairs undertaken to damaged equipment and friendships. 

The role of Nauthiz is to identify your darker side, and see where you are limiting yourself. Do not project your weaknesses onto others; work with your dark side to discover what in your life is attracting misery and misfortune.

The need for restraint is unquestionable when Nauthiz appears. The querant should be willing to accept restraint with good humour and conquer their own demons.

Reversed, Nauthiz represents lessons borne of pain and difficulty. Only be seeing the bottom of the pit can we appreciate the light at the top. Nauthiz reversed is a command to face one's fears and conquer the inner demons as well as the hardships of one's path.
