TYR IS NAMED FOR THE GERMANIC SKY GOD, THE GUARDIAN OF TRANSCENDENT AND ETERNAL ORDER.

Published annually, TYR celebrates the traditional myths, culture, and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe. It includes in-depth, original articles, interviews, translations of essential works by radical traditionalist and anti-modern thinkers, as well as extensive reviews of books, films, music, and the arts.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A RADICAL TRADITIONALIST?

It means to reject the modern, materialist reign of "quantity over quality," the absence of any meaningful spiritual values, environmental devastation, the mechanization and over-specialization of urban life, and the imperialism of corporate mono-culture, with its vulgar "values" of progress and efficiency. It means to yearn for the small, homogeneous tribal societies that flourished before Christianity -- societies in which every aspect of life was integrated into a holistic system.

WHAT WE REPRESENT:

Resacralization of the world versus materialism; folk/traditional culture versus mass culture; natural social order versus an artificial hierarchy based on wealth; the tribal community versus the nation-state; stewardship of the earth versus the "maximization of resources"; a harmonious relationship between men and women versus the "war between the sexes"; handicrafts and artisanship versus Industrial mass-production.

IN THIS ISSUE:

STEPHEN EDRED FLOWERS on "Integral Culture"; JOSCELYN GODWIN on the Italian esotericist JULIUS EVOLA; French philosopher ALAIN DE BENOIST's interview with "new comparative mythologist" GEORGES DUMEZIL; NIGEL PENNICK on the "Spiritual Arts and Crafts"; STEVE POLLINGTON on the Germanic war god Woden; MICHAEL MOYNIHAN on divine traces in the Nibelungenlied; COLLIN CLEARY on the anti-modern television series The Prisoner; JOSHUA BUCKLEY'S interview with IAN READ of the English heathen music group FIRE + ICE, and much more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Tyr is a unique, largely but not exclusively Pagan-oriented publication that is in fact rather difficult to categorize. It has much to recommend it, from scholarly articles on ancient European Pagan religion and mythology, thoughtful reflections on Ásatrú and other Pagan revival movements of the last several decades and their roots in earlier cultural movements such as Romanticism, interviews with leading figures in contemporary Paganism, philosophers and musicians, and music and book reviews. It also has certain more controversial political aspects ... Tyr is certainly one of the more thoughtful and scholarly, if not fully academic, Pagan publications available, and is recommended both for the quality of many of its articles on various Pagan and Pagan-related issues, and for its more controversial political aspects, which are a dimension of the modern Pagan revival in need of more sustained exposition, debate and analysis. --Michael Strmiska, The Pomegranate

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

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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).

Radical? Anti-Modern? Call it what it IS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2004

Verified Purchase

No I didn't think this book was radical. Maybe in the way that the same ideas are repeated over and over. I think many of the essay writers in this book need to take a writing class on how to get a CLEAR point across without saying it 10 different times in 10 different ways all in the same paragraph. "Anti Modern", what a nice way of saying we hate the government, and society. It is laughable how politically correct this "radical" book is. If this is radical, I'm ready for my pina coloada.
It claims to have useful and applicable ideas, but I found none. If you are interested in getting down to semantics, then this book is for you. I have never had to stomach so many double negatives, "isms", and just plain useless information that really doesn't affect or apply to their "pagan revolution". It seems they tried to get down to the bare essentials of pagan life, but by doing that they missed their point altogether. They lost THIS reader in a flood of "post-modernism" and "the not not-self" instead of keeping it simple and clear.
No I wouldn't reccomend this seemingly highly reccomended "radical" book to any pagan. Redefining modern terms is a waste of time when you claim to be working for the "pagan revolution" (whatever that is). If you want clear, applicable, RELEVANT truths with a pagan foundation, get a hold of Creed of Iron, Temple of Wotan, Deceived, Damned & Defiant, or Might is Right (David Lane, Katja Lane, Ron McVan)! You'll find it leaves this book's "radical traditonalism" in the DUST!

Stunning Collection of Essays

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2005

Verified Purchase

I cannot praise this volume highly enough. It is seldom that I manage to get totally immersed in reading material, especially essays on a theme. This volume had me gripped from start to finish, with only one short essay as an exception. The subject matter is varied and very interesting. After many years since watching the series, I now have some understanding of the meaning behind the cult TV series, "The Prisoner". I had been searching for "Tyr" for some time, as I had been told it is a magazine. Consequently I failed to find it in several searches. Fortunately I found it by accident on someone's Heathen list. I now also have volume 2 and will be starting it soon, hoping for the same stimulation. My only question now is.....when will TYR 3 be available ?

TYR: Myth-Culture-Tradition, Vol. 1

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

I found TYR vol. 1 to be very interesting and educational, but it is not for the "uninitiated". The articles are in-depth and cerebral, and not written for an audience who has no prior knowledge of the subject matter. For those in the Germanic Ways community, this is a font of thought-provoking literature that will make you want more! I think this is a perfect example of the type of serious-minded literature that we need in the modern age to add to our ancient lore to help build the foundations of the resurging tribal faith of European man.

Tyr

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2004

Verified Purchase

Collection of essays from various authors that mostly have an anti globalist/mass culture and pro folk culture and euro pagan theme. Highlights for me were Markus Wolfs essay on German "volkish" writer Hermann Lons, along with the included bit of Lons writing, Anabel Lee's "Dark Side of the Mountain" article, Michael Moynihans "Divine Traces in the Nibelungenlied", Steve Pollingtons essay on Woden called "From Lore-Giver to Law-Giver" and Nigel Pennicks "On the Spiritual Arts and Crafts" which talks about the value and spiritual side of being able to make things with your hands. Lots of great stuff in this. There's a #1 on this so I assume and hope there are more of these in the works.

Not Asatru as I know it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2006

TYR vol. 1 consists largely out of modern quasi-philosophical ramblings about the evils of monotheistic religion, science, modernism, humanism, communism and nearly every other form of -ism you can think of. The writers of TYR degrade our historic pagan faith to an antidote or anti-religion to these evils instead of a full-fledged pagan religion, fit for modern age people of Germanic descent. And with a subtitle like: Myth - Culture - Tradition I really not expected this.

Academic value of this journal is not noteworthy, because it mostly contains modern philosophical statements and anti-modern propaganda (!) and not anything noteworthy historically.

Also the writers of TYR call themselves anti-mass culture, a statement not even close to the truth about our ancestral faith and society. People back than lived also in a mass-culture. People from all Germanic countries interacted with each other, shared the same overall religion and Indo-European ancestry. And ironically TYR just became a modernist or even postmodernist perversion. The only difference in society today is, that mass-culture backed by materialistic science leaves no place for religion and in at least Northern Europe people are just not interested in religion, and if they are, it's probably a form of agnosticism. Options of returning towards the spiritual `openness' to the gods as suggested by Collin Clearly are just out of this world. Give up society, go live in the woods and kill your own food, I'm really marvelled about this genius, instead of making Asatru an addition to life and subject of technological and ideological progression, as our forefathers experienced it, we should all return to the woods from whence we came.. Or more truthfully as I see it, we should return to a more traditional collectivistic society, where you live for your family and loved-ones, were hospitality is not something to marvel about and worship again the eternal order, the eternal circle of life and live our lives in worship of the Gods, while working to fulfil our individual destinies, go write a book on that.[...]

racist, white separatist self-inflated drivel

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2013

do not be drawn in by this crap and its overdrawn doublespeak. do yourself a favor and research the writers/editors of Tyr. You will find a wealth of information regarding their connections with fascism and white supremacy.
