       Tiwaz
is a warrior rune named after the god Tyr who is the Northern god of law and
justice. This symbolizes the positive ordering of the cosmos and humankind
through law and justice and our moral compass. Chaos comes to order through the
attributes of awakened consciousness and the guiding principles concerned with
carrying out such an awakening. Tiwaz is just victory according to the law of
accumulated right past action. To rule justly, one is asked to make many self-sacrifices,
and Tiwaz can develop the power of positive self-sacrifice and temper
over-sacrifice. The belief that courage and a right cause carries the day is
governed by Tiwaz.

       It
is the common justice of the people rather than the use of law by tyrants. Tiwaz
will bring about a correct balancing of the scales so that you are assured a
fair hearing and fair decision. Do not be thrown off balance by the chaos of
your environment. Like the North star, you must remain true and calm, assert
your case with confidence and let the energies of your magic assisted by the
force of Tiwaz bring about a right solution.
