Tyr Rune. Lord Tyr is the Patron Guardian & Guide of our Northern Way Order *Teutonic refers to Northern European Pre-Christian people and is sometimes used interchangeably with words like Asatru, Norse-Paganism, Heathenism.

TWO TOWERS DVD Joseph Campbell's Ten Commandments for Reading Mythology 1. Read myths with the eyes of wonder: the myths transparent to their universal meaning, their meaning transparent to its mysterious source. 2. Read myths in the present tense: Eternity is now. 3. Read myths in the first person plural: the Gods and Goddesses of ancient mythology still live within you. 4. Any myth worth its salt exerts a powerful magnetism. Notice the images and stories that you are drawn to and repelled by. Investigate the field of associated images and stories. 5. Look for patterns; don't get lost in the details. What is needed is not more specialized scholarship, but more interdisciplinary vision. Make connections; break old patterns of parochial thought. 6. Resacralize the secular: even a dollar bill reveals the imprint of Eternity. 7. If God is everywhere, then myths can be generated anywhere, anytime, by anything. Don't let your Romantic aversion to science blind you to the Buddha in the computer chip. 8. Know your tribe! Myths never arise in a vacuum; they are the connective tissue of the social body which enjoys synergistic relations with dreams (private myths) and rituals (the enactment of myth). 9. Expand your horizons! Any mythology worth remembering will be global in scope. The earth is our home and humankind is our family. 10. Read between the lines! Literalism kills; imagination quickens.		The Song of Horsa's Galley By Robert E. Howard From the Baltic Sea our galleys sweep to South and West and East, We bring our bows from the Northern snows that the great grey wolves may feast. To the outmost roads of the plunging sea Our dragon ships are hurled, We have broken the chains of the Southern Danes And now we break the world. Out of the dark of the misty north We come like shapes of gloam To harry again the Southland men And trample the arms of Rome. The ravens circle above our prows And our chant is the song of the sea. They hear our oars by a thousand shores And they know that the North is free.
