Description

Týr

I took this photo in the beginning of January, 2017. I “carved” the rune Tiwaz: in the snow just using my hand. Very simple method and a very powerful rune when used properly. Modified and re-touched in Photoshop.


Tiwaz is mentioned in all three rune poems. In the Icelandic and Norwegian poems, the rune is associated with the god Týr.

Old Norwegian:
Týr er æinendr ása;
opt værðr smiðr blása.

Old Icelandic:
Týr er einhendr áss
ok ulfs leifar
ok hofa hilmir
Mars tiggi.

Old English
Tir biþ tacna sum, healdeð tryƿa ƿel
ƿiþ æþelingas; a biþ on færylde
ofer nihta genipu, næfre sƿiceþ.

  • In Vinland Saga, Thorfinn has carved two Týr-runes into his dagger, likely in the same context as stated in Sigrdrífumál: to achieve victory in battle.
