Tyrian Spirituality
Tyrian Spirituality is a sub group within the larger Northern pagan movements commonly known as Asatru, Heathenry or Heathenism, and Theodism. Practitioners hold a special reverence for the Norse God Tyr, as a god of courage, righteousness, and fairness.
Tyrian Heathens are still practitioners of Heathenism, and still worship and recognize the rest of the Norse pantheon. By practitioners, it is often described more as an "Honorable code of conduct". They GeneRally hold two morale premises, that Tyr, and his female counterpart Zisa have given them courage and strength with two requirements. 1) That a Tyrian should never use his abilities or resources for evil. And 2) that the strong should always protect the weak. The other set of morale premises, often called the three questions, is a set of questions used to define the morality of an action. The three questions are 1) is it morale? (Another interpretation is "Would you be proud to tell your children you had done this?" 2) Is it legal? (Due to the various political standpoints of Heathenry it is hard to define "Lawful", but generally most Tyrians are lax AbOUT the more minute laws like jaywalking, and other minor misdemeanors.) And "Does everyone involved benefit?"
Tyrians often undertake large scale projects, and have an affinity for tasks that are unlikely to be completed in their own lifetime. They do so with a mix of religious pride, and social respect. A well loved saying often quoted is "The glacier knows where it is going and when it will get there. It matters not if other know or not." Tyrians seek to be of service to their community, and although the number of Tyrians within Asatru and Heathenry is unknown it appears that they tend to cluster away from the racial IDeaS and normally find a middle ground between Folkism and Universalism having associations with both The AFA and the Troth.
