Tyr
Tyr ~ Tuesday or Tyrsday? The Norse God of Bravery & Honor - At one time was probably more popular than Odin! Tyr plays a very large role in Norse mythology and is a great symbol in Norse spiritual paths.
He is always remembered as being the one who sacrificed himself, (well.. his hand) for the greater good of his fellow gods, goddesses and clan. The Binding of Fenrir which is depicted in the photos shared, is one of the most famous tales of Norse Mythology. Tyr was known for keeping his oaths no matter the sacrifice which was a very important part of the Norse culture and still is today. He was a god who was associated with law, order and justice. Tiwaz is the runic symbol that represents Tyr, and this rune represents balance justice and sacrifice.
Tyr has been a very important part of mythological history in general - so much so that Tuesday is named after Tyr. Tuesday comes from the Old English “Tīwesdæg,” after Tiw, or Tyr, our beloved Norse god of sacrifice. Tyr was and will always be a supreme god because he represents courage, and balance between war & justice.
