TiwazTiwaz
Tiwaz embodies the divine masculine principle of justice, sacrifice, and cosmic order. It represents the warrior’s oath, the balance of power, and the willingness to make personal sacrifices for higher ideals. Rooted in the Teiwaz rune, it channels the energy of Tyr, the one-handed god of justice and war, who sacrificed his hand to bind Fenrir. This Rune is a beacon of integrity, leadership, and the transformative power of selfless action.
