The Runes: Tiwaz ᛏ

And the runes series continue! Let's talk about Tiwaz. Its meaning, myths and what it signifies when this rune appears in a rune-reading.

#Runes #Tiwaz #Tyr

[ArithHärger]

As you know, Tiwaz is related to the symbology of the spear as well, which I have not mentioned on this video on purpose. I wanted to focus on the case of the axis mundi, Yggdrasil, Irminsul, standing stones, poles etc. all vertical religious elements that represent the embodiment of the powers expressed by Tiwaz/Tiw/Týr, or the animistic understanding of natural phenomenon expressed in the figure of this deity. The spear acts in the same maner, as a vertical religious object representative of these spiritual aspects expressed in this rune. But as you know, before the spear came the tree, the standing pole and the staff of the wise ruler-magician - Ancient European religious perceptions, before Indo-Europeans, seem to have revolved around 2 main archetypes which dwelt in the mysterious depths of the unconscious mind of man: "The Great Mother" and "The Old Wise Man". Before the spear, the "Old Wise Man" had his staff, representative of the power of trees in the hallowed ground of sacred groves. The "Old Wise Man" was replaced by the "Warlord" deity, the chieftain sky god of war and justice, and the staff replaced by the spear.

You should write a book with all this rune content. I haven't seen such detail anywhere else.

Thank you @ArithHarger. I've been following Tyr informally for all of my life, and formally for the past 20 or so years. Very informative and spot on. Hail Tyr!

"Trust your own power. Always."
Thank you, Arith, for your eloquent wisdom, dedication and willingness to share your knowledge with the masses.
Your gift is much appreciated and valued.

That I think is a very clever and important observation: The base of justice is empathy. That, to my understanding, is what the old greek heroic myths were exploring to such a high degree. The root meaning of the word "hero" is a protecter or defender. So indeed: empathy is what motivates you to take on another person´s cause.

I'm enjoying your interpretation of the runes I am also a huge fan of Ralph H Blum I am not sure he's alive anymore I also have his books of healing runes and I have had them for quite a period of years and have reread them so many times I could just about quote them I am absolutely thrilled though to see somebody else that's interested in the runes because most people prefer tarot cards which I can read those to just not as well.

Thank you so much. I just said that I'd rather put faith in myself. I trust myself over anyone else for sure. I am my best friend.

I've had Tiwaz / Tyr calling to me lately and only after watching this video was I able to put it all together. Thank you for this!

Mi piace sempre di piú il tuo approccio alle Rune, che denota una grande Conoscenza e rispetto per questo Loro mondo Sacro …. Grazie Arith !

Hi, Arith. You were talking about passion and the definite link between a man and a woman when Tiwaz shows up in a reading. This is spot on if you look at the rune stylistically: the roof is the legs of a woman while the shaft is the male genital...

[roxanneaspogard]

Tyr and the Tiwaz Rune are my favourites. Your interpretation is very insightful. :-)

[juggaloscrub]

May the universe bless you my good friend. I felt like you were speaking directly to me about my situation in life. Thank you so much

[empressdahlia]

And just like that, she found her teacher. 😊
Thank you for such a vast explanation of this rune. I will be watching more videos for sure!

[RazeAVillage]

Thank you do much for this video. My interest in Tyr has been growing lately. Too much pain meds to ley me say much, so thank you again.

[Krushurpants]

we are witnessing one of the bright minds of our age people, great video as always

[paolatartara]

Bravo Arith ! Vai alla grande, la tua interpretazione è eccellente e profonda ! ❤

[JamieHerron]

Always look forward to your videos. I am very interested in the runes series of videos.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[Malaology]

Wow! I see Yggdrasil as a Torus in the center of which the Snake eats its tail and Ragnarok consumes all. I don't know that I've heard of anyone envisioning anything close but it's really synchronistic that I just posted a video about Odin and this toroidal field before I watched this. I absolutely mentioned that you are much more of an authority on the subject and linked to one of your Odin videos. Thank you for your teachings and for sharing your great wisdom!! Bless your head, your heart, your hands....

Thank you so much for your thorough and informative interpretations of the runes. I have been using runes as a guide in my life for over 30 years and I have always been guided toward my true path, even if I couldn’t see it at the time. I am getting unusual readings (for me) lately. For example a lot of reversed runes (not typical for me).
I know I am going through a major spiritual transformation due to many things in my life and perhaps that is the reason I am getting these symbols.
Your videos are so helpful to me in understanding the history and traditions behind the runes and then how they relate to the results I am getting.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and passion for these things. Much appreciated!

Your comment about interpretation is spot on, as you have said the Runes connect to one's inner being and so connects to everything that the reader is and determines, and so it has to be an interpretation based on the personality of the reader. It is like reading a book, everyone experiences it throiugh their own eyes, as we do life.
