Editorial Reviews
Review
A mind of healthy curiosity even one sharing none of the conclusions about life, the universe and everything championed in Tyr will find plenty stimulating here. Tyr is a first-class artifact of, ironically, modern Bohemia. --Zach Dundas, Willamette Week
The Radical Traditionalists from Tyr have successfully attracted contributions from academics and scholars by maintaining a publication of high intellectual quality … the adaptation of the concept of Radical Traditionalism by people outside Tyr testifies to the impact that Tyr has had. --Jacob C. Senholt, Radical Traditionalism and the New Right: An Examination of Political Esotericism in America

About the authors

Michael Moynihan was born in 1969 in New England and has lived in Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Sweden. As an author, editor, translator, musician, and publisher, all of his work deals with the netherworlds where culture, religion, and art meet.
His non-fiction book Lords of Chaos, co-written with Norwegian author Didrik Søderlind, won a Firecracker Independent Book Award in 2003. It has since been translated into nine languages (not counting several unauthorized foreign bootleg editions). Most recently he has collaborated on two volumes relating to the unsung pioneer of grotesque and occult imagery in photography, William Mortensen (1897–1965): as co-editor with Larry Lytle of American Grotesque: The Life and Art of William Mortensen and as author of the essay “Infernal Impact: The Command to Look as a Formula for Satanic Success” included in the new edition of William Mortensen's The Command to Look: A Master Photographer’s Method for Controlling the Human Gaze.
His work as a translator includes an annotated edition of Die religiose Welt der Germanen: Ritual, Magie, Kult, Mythus by Hans-Peter Hasenfratz, Ph.D., which has been published in English as Barbarian Rites: The Spiritual World of the Vikings and the Germanic Tribes (Inner Traditions, 2011).
With his wife Annabel Lee he runs a small independent publishing venture, Dominion Press, which has produced works by Stephen Flowers, Hans Bellmer, John Michell, and Joscelyn Godwin in limited hardcover editions (www.dominionpress.net).

Joshua Buckley was born in 1974 in Sharon, Connecticut. He has contributed to a number of music-related and other counter-cultural magazines, in addition to pursuing his own publishing ventures. In 2009, he relocated from Atlanta, Georgia to South Carolina, where he lives with his wife Liberty, three daughters, and a variety of animals. He works for an Atlanta-based law firm and teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Profiles of various notable figures from the "volkish" movement that popped up in pre-National Socialist Austria and Germany are included, which I found interesting if for no other reason for the historical perspective.
I think my favorite selections from Tyr #2 are Colin Clearys "Summoning the Gods" which in part talks about part of being a pagan is having a sense of wonder, awe and reverance of things like forests or animals that the masses of human sheep either don't notice, or could care less about. I also got a lot of enjoyment out of Christian Ratschs "Sacred Plants of our Ancestors", which talks about the use naturally occuring plants, like Cannabis, psychoactive mushrooms, or Henbane beer as part of Germanic heathen shamanism throughout history.
As an extra added bonus this book comes with a cd that contains a varied selection of excellent music from the, for lack of a better word, "neo-folk" genre.
This 2004 edition -which dwarfs the premier edition by some one hundred and forty-six pages- hardly resembles the `traditional' journal or magazine. Rather, it follows its predecessor in being a perfect-bound (paperback) book... a meaty almanac of intelligent Heathen reading, presenting a refreshingly insightful fare that simply cannot be found in any other collection of relevant articles. From the recollection of the development of Asatrú in America by Stephen McNallen to the very unique and thought-provoking Thoughts on God by Alain de Benoist to the ably written and informative Relections on Disparate Myths of Divine Sacrifice by Michael Moynihan and the wonderful dissertation, Herman Wirth on Folksong by Joscelyn Godwin (and much more besides!) there is no doubt something for each and every discerning reader!
And, as if that wasn't enough, we're given not one, but three great interviews: Fermenting Moon Musick: A Conversation with John Balance of Coil by Michael Moynihan and Joshua Buckley, Sagaman and Storyteller: A Conversation with P.D. Brown by Joshua Buckley, and Musical Ammunition: An Interview with Allerseelen's Gerhard by Joshua Buckley.
But wait, there's more!
Who can forget reviews? There's page after page of in-depth reviews for both literature and music -entries which offer not only the perspective of the author in question, but with enough information on the material being discussed (or, background on the author / artist in question) to make as well-informed and educated decision as any consumer can hope or expect.
But wait, there's even more!
That's right, I said more... aside from a year's worth of reading to keep your mind busily stimulated, readers will find an accompanying CD sampler with this edition. In the true spirit of what we're coming to expect from the promising vision of TYR in the prime of its youth, the editors once again impose upon the boundaries of expectation. This is an offering of seventeen tracks from seventeen artists, from the likes of Allerseelen, Primordial, In Gowan Ring, Steve Von Till, Fire + Ice, Blood Axis, Waldteufel, and others... providing a collage of demonstrable musical ability and talent from the contributing artists in a brilliant tapestry of stylistic variation. As Moynihan states in his commentary, regardless of whether their work is subdued or bombastic in sound, all of the contributors to this compilation CD perform music with a full awareness of the subtle implications of their chosen art form... ...at root every one of these artists holds profound respect for traditions, folklore, and most importantly, for those beings- both ancestral and celestial- who came before them. I couldn't agree more- it certainly shines through in the collection as a whole as it imparts a fresh and living breath of inspired artistry within the murk of unimportant and rather unmoving mainstream fodder.
The final handful of pages of TYR are dedicated to the sampler, offering informative notes, photos, contact information, and links to pertinent websites -all providing for a richer listening experience and enjoyment, and allowing the inquisitive listener an ability to pursue a respective artist's or artists' other works.
TYR II is unparalleled in its journalistic and publishing excellence, well worth every penny spent... a wonderful addition to any Heathen library!
While I was expecting a quality book, I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Really. It's not every day that you can sit down with a book and hear mention of Dock Boggs, Herman Wirth, and Allerseelen between the same cover pages. And in addition to this, there is a full-length CD included with the book containing tracks from Waldteufel, Blood Axis, The Spectral Light and Moonshine Firefly Snakeoil Jamboree, Coil, In Gowan Ring, Bigorna, and many others.
The topics discussed in this volume range from Ludwig Fahrenkorg and the Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft to Friedrich Hielscher and his mysterious and previously (professionally) unresearched relationship to the revival Germanic Heathenry in this century. Also included are articles by Michael Moynihan (Disparate Myths of Divine Sacrifice), a brutally honest and enlightening piece by Collin Cleary (Summoning the Gods) and Alain de Benoist on "Thoughts on God". The surprise appearance of Christian Rätsch on "The Sacred Plants of our Ancestors" is VERY interesting and leads the reader to a trailhead of botanical-spiritual explorations. Reading Evola for long periods of time can get a bit heavy, but the translation of his article (ala Annabel Lee) "The Doctrine of Battle and Victory" is refreshing and highly thought-provoking. And my hat is off to Joscelyn Godwin for the wonderful contribution on Herman Wirth and Folksong. It is absolutely unsurpassed in weight and depth.
And these are just the ones that stand out in my mind at present. The book as a whole is worth every single penny you pay for it. With all of the modernities that come with this book (CD technology, modern printing and binding techniques [which actually don't hold up so well on this book, I may add]), and the fact that you are reading this on an internet website just to mention a few), there is NOTHING modern about the spirit of this book. It is truly of antiquity and offers sound, authentic, folkish soultions to the thinking Heathen in combating the sickness of all that is this modern world. Grab a glass of fresh Henbane Beer, stoke the fire, and dig in!
