Worship Týr as our Patron God

Týr was an ancient Germanic god of war and of the thing, the assembly of free men that made law and judged disputes. Roman writers equated him with Mars, and Frisian soldiers at Housesteads dedicated a third-century altar to Mars Thingsus.

His name gave Tuesday its name, and place names such as Tislund, 'Týr's grove', in Denmark and Tysnes in Norway point to his cult. Norse sources call him the son of the giant Hymir or of Odin.
