The warrior begot of firehath thunder in his veins
and he shall give his dying breath
while darkness still remains
he wields the sacred sword of truth
with dignity and pride
his cause be that of justice
and shall not be denied
The name of the Rune Tyr is from the archaic Indo-European sky god Teiwaz. A name literally meaning 'god' which is derived from the Sanskrit word dayus; from which the name for the Greek Deity Zeus comes from.
Symbolically, the rune is attributed to the courageous Asa-Tyr who sacrificed his right hand to enable the binding of the destructive Fenris-Wolf which threatened the cosmic order.
Tyr is a rune of positive regulation, manifested as the necessity of self-sacrifice in order to enable success. Therefore it signifies success tempered with self-sacrifice. The shape of the rune infers the targeting of assertive forces in the correct place for the greatest effect.
Often, when Tyr appears it signifies legal action and contractual disagreements; sometimes disagreements in general- but the outcome will only be favourable IF the querent is the one in the right. Miscarriages of justice, even if favourable to the querent will not occur with Tyr in the casting.
