Norse Gods and Goddesses Prose Poems – #31 Týr
A stunning new approach to the myths the Vikings loved; enlightening and challenging for the novice and veteran alike.
The Gods and Goddesses of the Nordic Mythos Prose Poems were created following research for Gods Bless Ya!! Rock Opera with Alda and Sigrun Bjork Olafsdottir and a forth-coming book with SigRun Viking Art & Design.











Týr
Always God, never-changing North Star he who buys peace with a limb was all before and anew now. When worlds end remember his agonising hound-bitten death was for you. Thank Tyr for the beer barrel that made the party possible.
Of The Sky
Sky God, fostered of Óðin, born of giants; Tyr Hymirsson Óðinsson
Bringer of barrels
Self-sacrificial
Hand-loser
Bravest of the Warrior Gods
He keeps mortals safe
Fenrir-binder
He is of the twelve who sit with Óðin
Tyr is from the before
A Precursor
The Germanics called upon him in war
Thousands of year of a one-handed God
Tiwaz all encompasses
All worlds under one sky
Look for justice in his northern star
Come for him Tysdagr
Tyr means god
Look to the Old Norsemen
They called upon the Tivar;
The God
Skirnir brought him Gleipnir; dwarven ribbon
He who contained their fiercest enemy
Rising above hardship is expected of Vikings
We laugh at suffering and accept it as life
Look to Mirkwood for the coming of God-death
He who will die in the end at the teeth of Garm

Hi Ade,
Many thanks for your latest prose poem. I understand this is the god who gave his name to Tuesday, with other Norse Gods giving their names to the other weekdays. The names of Saturday and Sunday, however, are Roman in origin. Isn’t this typical of English inconsistency and muddling through?
My Outlook system has a rather irritating habit of slinging emails I want to keep into the Deleted Items folder. This, for some reason, particularly happens to emails from your good self. I can only conclude my laptop harbours some kind of a grudge against Vikings – perhaps its early digital ancestors were attacked, hacked to pieces, and set fire to by marauding Viking IT whizkids?
Love,
Julie xxx
