Rune of the Day – TIWAZ
by Hrefna Nornsdatter, Acting Chancellor of Religious Studies
Good morning! Today’s rune is Tiwaz. As we move forward on our path, what obstacles lie in our way? How can we harness our inner strength to conquer or move past them?
“Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health.” -Dalai Lama
TIWAZ
Pronunciation: “tee-whaz”
Meaning: The god, Tyr
Tiwaz encourages us to embrace our inner strength as we travel along our path, motivating us as we face challenging situations. Each obstacle helps us grow as we approach it as something we can gain from, knowledge or courage. Tiwaz expresses that we can weather the storm, survive the sacrifices that our path asks of us, and we emerge on the other side victorious and learned. But we must stay true to ourselves in the process. We must act with integrity and inner strength, just as Tyr did in the face of Fenrir.
Keywords: Ambition, courage, victory, strength, passion.
