    Where we're falling short in our theories of the "gods" is excluding history, anthropology, and DNA analysis. The Edda's, especially the poetic, are stories of embellishment of the Yamnaya type folk, (the Giants/consumers) who invaded the land of the Scandinavians. The former brought the lactose persistent gene, that is the sacred cow to the hunter/gatherer meat eaters, (Thor). The Æsir were the I1 haplogroup while the invaders from the south, the Vanir, Yamnaya type folk were the R1b. They eventually intermixed over time and created what we know today as the Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians. Týr was the first and most notable HG/I1 man to negotiate with the "giants", the consumers or the yamnaya people who wanted their lands, not unlike what they did to ancient Spain. The Yamnaya murdered every male Spaniard. In other words, they wanted it all. Týr sought peace with the invaders and through the Alþing used diplomacy to appease them. These Edda's are more ancient than we know. The same story is told in Greece with the same R1b Yamnaya type folk invading the region of the Hellenes. Hence the war between the Olympians and the Titans. There is a connection between the Hellenes and the Norse, especially when we get into Hyperborea, which is another story.
    So we Scandinavian type folk are a composite people as are all modern Europeans. The Yamnaya 5k years ago changed the landscape of the continent. This analysis is just a brief, terse analysis of how I understand these embellished REAL stories of the Norse. Skál!

    Another couple quick thoughts. First thanks for showing that the Fenris Wolf and Tyr are the origin of Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Totally makes sense.
    Second possibly in the second aspect of the myth when Thor goes fishing Tir becomes the wind in his sails since he was formerly a sky God. This would suggest he may have given Thor the impetuous to go fishing in the first place so destiny could occur. Just a thought. Awesome post

    My own theory on the story of Tyr and Fenrir is that fenrir is a wolf that cannot be sated. I think fenrir is a representation of greed, or theft, or corruption. He is the product of trickery (Loki) and to contain him, you must bring justice (tyr). It may cost you your right hand to do so, but to keep it under control you must punish even those that are the best of you (your right hand men)

    • @samila1142
      @samila1142 9 месяцев назад +2

      From what I read about the mith of Fenrir biting Tyr, is that they were friends, the wolf is a concious being with their own ideals just like the other childs of loki. Tyr just needed to be loyal to the Æsir rules and do his best to dont hurt his wolf friend a the same time knowing chaining him meant sacrificing fenrir in order to maintain Tyrs place in asgard. Fenrir warned him that he hated the chains and would defend himself (bite Tyr) even if this breaks their friendship. Thats why Tyr also talks about being a good friend or loyal to a group...

    The old Saxon poem is talking about night sky’s & being ever present, so potentially a star & an association with navigation? 21:07 a couple ties to trade & travel.
    The separation of justice, war, etc could have been the source of other gods, so a source for other gods.
    Dogs have long ties in other cultures to death & the underworld. Many cultures seem to have bodies being consumed by wild animals to enter into the afterlife so maybe the eaten had is a reference to being of both the living & the dead?

    I’ve always wondered that what if people didn’t abandon a God ie Tyr for Odin? Instead connected with the God that met their needs for the time. In times of war Tyr or Odin was awakened in the spiritual subconscious as in what Jung wrote about. In times of food shortages than Fryer or Thor. Ect…. So that the Gods were never abandoned but more awakened when needed. Just a thought.

    Well, we know that, even if the name comes from the same source, Tiw/ Tyr can't just be "god," because Germans & Scandanavians had their own word for those things that is incongruent, but there should he some sort of correlation as to why this word survived as the name of a specific god. Assuming he is a sky god could be a possibility. I also know that, when being more specific in equating Tyr with Marsz they usually give him the title Thincsus- Mars of the Thing- so I looked up any political connections to Mars & got back that Mars' name had to be invoked before treaties were signed, right off the bat. My money, so far, is on him being a god of governing, or a god of general civilized behavior in humans- building homes, having a government, writing in runes, etc. Maybe the governing connection is why he's connected to war, because several gods are treated as important with regards to war. In many cultures where the sky god isn't the Creator, he is often the judge & ruler over disputes.

    for the last part and trying to figure out the spiritual energy and how that Might related to him previously being a sky god; I think looking to cousin cultures is a very helpful tool. The greek concept of Pneuma and Breath for example would fit very nicely as a middle ground. You breath in the spiritual energy of the sky and that gives you life and power. The hot heavy breaths filling your lungs in battle keeping you alive and fighting, the urge to scream and shout and call out the the sky father as he fills your lungs with breath and accepts the offering you return to him.

    I've been wanting a video on Tyr for a long time! :D 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great video! Personally I believe that Tyr can be seen as the Great Creator/God who's present in our realm as an aspect of the
    Sky Father😶‍🌫ᛏ He is the eternal sky, the creator of moon and sun 🌝🌞 This ties into the whole thing about balance and justice, for the sun and moon complement eachother. The sky is the highest authority and therefore ruler over law and justice. I believe that when warfare between the Germanic tribes and the Roman Empire escalated during the 2nd century, the Germanians needed the Frenzy/rage more than law, order, honor. Because they fought against an overwhelming foe, defending their homelands. Thus Odin/Wodan became their main God of War and not Tiwaz. Another note is that historians might have confused roles of the Gods as Aries/Mars ♈ where Gods of frenzy more like Wodan and not Gods of law and justice. Thus the Germanians God of war where primarily Wodan⚔and not Tiwaz, but Tiwaz was rather a God of law and justice⚖ Another note is about the symbol of Odin being one-eyed👁 It's said in the sagas that by sacreficing his eye, Odin could see over all the Worlds. This is related to the Sky father who obviously also could see everything.

    Really great research and solid explanation. Curious if you have found any cross over of Tyr with the Phoenecian city of Tyre. I ascribe to a thought that Phoenecian sailors spread goods and language to the Mediterranean rather than the accepted migration from the Middle East to the Nordic regions and what is now the British Isles. I believe that before the Ice Age cultures of that area and further North started a migration South. It has never made sense that people living in temperate climates would move North to harder environs. Also there is a tremendous cross over in language and runes vs Hebrew and Aramaic letters. Seems to me the Shamans and Druids brought their knowledge South not the other way around.

    kind of crazy how these things work out, i was just meditating on the nature of tyr ealier today, then this was uploaded. tyr was most associated i think with honor. honor in the old days was both good and terrifying, and many were killed for honor's sake. this was the origin of blood feud. honor governed the thing, the oaths of warriors to their kings, the strength of oaths and the payment of weregild. loki says he never brought peace to anybody, as the honor systems often caused as much chaos as they prevented. people went to war and died for honor and fame.
    this honorable man is the only one brave enough to feed fenrir, wild violence. he is the one who volunteers his hand, much like odin volunteers his eye.
    odin has a lot of overlap here, which might explain the lesser significance of tyr.
    the sacrifice of his hand made the deception of fenrir "legal" as a sort of weregild, but also in symbolic context he pledged his right hand as an oath. people still pledge with their right hand today. this left tyr with his left hand, his sinister hand, probably a terrifying god, not so much loved as appeased, much like ares and mars.
    it is said he is killed by garmr at ragnarok. this is very interesting, because there must be some symbolic reason for this. it implies that perhaps after passage into hel, the souls of the dead are retained there, or others are kept out, by a being that is the enemy of the honor-god, by a being of dishonor. remember this is not the same as being good or evil, as even baldr is among the "dishonorable dead." it simply implies that the honored dead continue their bond in the afterlife, while others await ragnarok, or are punished in nastrond.

      One of the big ones was a rabbit hole I fell down last week about Berchta/ Frau Holle. The thing is somehow simultaneously considered the kind, female version of Krampus, a variation of the goddess Freya & some kind of troll, but up in Scandanavia, a Hulder- which, they are positive the names are of similar origin- is a completely different being altogether- some sort of female nature spirit with a cat or dog tail & a hollow back. Also, you have the Nixie, which is simultaneously described in different localities as being either a humanoid spirit, a mermaid, a water horse, or a dragon/ sea serpent. But, only with regards to the humanoid spirit is there actually a full explanation that gives it a role in the religious beliefs of the people attached. Every other version, it got turned into a random monster & sanitized.

    Thanks for your interpretation! You help me a lot here, as I don't really have time digging in all the books, codex, inscriptions, etc. It's been a few years my intuition makes me believe that there is a link between the Norse Mythology and Siberian Shamanism.
    1). In Siberian Shamanism, the "god" of creation is called Tengri, which means "Sky" for the ancient Mongols and Turks. This could be Tyr...
    2). Again in Siberian Shamanism, the world is represented in a circle / wheel, where Tengri sits at the "top", followed by Ulgen (on the right), Umai (at the bottom) and Erlik (on the left). Tengri is the Creator, the energy of infinity, where time does not exist. At some point he created Umai (Mother Nature, energy of love, protection, etc.) and together they created Ulgen (energy of the sky, dreams and wishes), and Erlik (energy of tranformation). Tengri holds a bow and with it he shoots his arrows towards Umai so that new lives get born. Again here we have the rune Thurisaz, Tyr's rune...
    3). The representation of the cycle of life is done like this: each human sits on a boat going down the river of life. Behind them is the past, in front of them is there future. This river pass in front of Umai and goes towards Erlik. At the end of the river, the human dies. If the death is normal, then he takes the bridge that leads to Tengri to get reincarnated (Bifrost bidge that links the Earth to the realm of the Gods?).
    On the other hand, ff the death was sudden, without the person knowing for example, then he goes under the bridge, and goes down Erlik's realm (Hellhaim?) that leads to a cave, where he will terminate his course either in the lake of tears or in the lake of blood. There he will remain until someone helps him out (often a shaman).
    There must be more to be listed, but I would need more time and RUclips is not ideal either...
    Let me know your thoughts! And if you ever dig more into this, please share :)

    I think I may have found a surprisingly helpful source of info. The Armenians also had a god named Tir. He is the god of art, wisdom, culture/ Civilized behavior & was the messenger of the gods. He was important enough to be referenced in their old calendar system & the Greeks considered him syncratic with Ares & Hermes. So, I'm all for assuming Tyr is the god of higher human thinking- He is associated with civilization & has authority over all that comes with that, law, wisdom, teaching, oaths, art, etc. I think that may also be why Nuada shares the hand thing for the Celts- Nuada is the first king after Dagda, therefore he is responsible for creating the entire system of Celtic civilization.
    There is also an Etruscan moon goddess named Tiur. Not a whole lot of info on her, but I won't be shocked if/ when we work out their language if she shares a lot of similarities to this Armenian Tir.

    I think I may have found an interesting connection in Celtic culture- they believed that their gods had an original king- Nuada- who lost his hand, and so had to give up his kingship & be replaced with a different deity- Angus/ Bres. Given what I read, they probably aren't gods over the same things, but that could heavily imply that Tyr was the original king of the Aesir, but ended up giving the title to Odin. I'm also wondering if we have any mention anywhere of what happened to Odin's two brothers, because I've seen them get brought up once or twice, but then they go nowhere.

    It makes sense that the Romans reported that earlier cultures believed gods were ancestors because this fits with the ancient Vedic teachings that we are all on a spiritual evolutionary path toward godhood. The gods were believed to have been ancestors who completed their evolutionary path, and who help us with ours. Gods are also archetypes, and I interpret Tyr's archetype as "just war", which would be similar to the Robin Hood archetype--preventing the more powerful from abusing the weaker; taking action that stops injustice. And when was the last "just war"? Thousands of years ago? Now all wars are about greed: honoring Fenris, not Tyr. No wonder the archetype died out.

    Compare Tyr's interactions with wolves to Oðinn's.
    Tyr has a wolf that he's afraid of, and he tries to restrains it. It works, until it doesn't and he has to injure himself to do it. The process damages him, and eventually those around him.
    Oðinn's has two, both of whom have names that mean something like "greedy" that sit on either side of him. They're unrestrained, and he feeds them sometimes. They're not a problem.
    There's a lesson about repressing oneself here.

    • @shanedussault740
      @shanedussault740 11 месяцев назад

      not the literary lesson most would take from that comparison, especially given the related cognates with other mythologies
      Odin being a strange outsider, or an aspect of Mannu having wolves and taking the spot of tyr both in the linguistic sense and in the pantheon would lead me to believe that if there is a connection to draw its that odin's wolves ate tyr's right hand, taking much of his power and role in the religion

    perhaps Týr giving his hand to Fenrir was symbolizing the righteous judgement of Ragnarrök. Again, Týr was the God of judgement and perhaps Týr works chronically. Meaning, he’ll only be worshipped beginning and end.

    Do you think that perhaps the time of warlords was more the time of Tyr where the time of Odin is the time of Jarls and kings?

    The Celtic Lugh is almost like a halfway figure between Tyr and the stereotypical Sky Father figure. He is a war god who oversees oaths. He is a god of the harvest. He is also associated with wind and the sky. It is my belief that his spear is probably representative of lightning.

    I believe Tyr is one of Odin's brothers, along with Loki. Tyr's father is commonly thought to be Hymir...strangely similar to Ymir, who was the first being. Just as Odin has MANY names, I believe Loki and Tyr are alternative names for Vili and Ve. Tyr is the bravest and most noble of his brothers. I believe that Odin only became the Supreme God because Tyr sacrificed his fighting hand and his honor for the greater good when the Aesir bound Fenrir. With his broken heart and the loss of his sword hand, Tyr was replaced by Odin. Odin during ancient times was a God primarily worshipped by: elite rulers, poets, and outlaws. I think this is due to his connection with the runes. By discovering the runes (language) Odin paved the way for civilizations to arise. In ancient times only the elite and educated could read and write. By having thus skill, which Odin discovered, they were able to form nations and rule over large groups of people. Pretty sure I'm shadow banned on RUclips so this comment will more than likely not be seen...but it's the truth.

    @seanjobst1985 7 месяцев назад

    Thank you for giving a fuller picture of a God to whom I feel connected but unfortunately not as much attested. Coming from a continental German rather than Norse background, I base my own opinion foremost on Tacitus (not that passage but Germania, 2.2-3) since it goes back to the common origins of our tribes. I then combine this with my own gnosis founded on, among other things, comparative mythology on the general motif of a Sky Father. So “Teuton” comes from the Latin corruption of Proto-Germanic *þeudō "people, tribe" clearly relates to þeudanaz -> Tiwaz -> Ziu, in the sense of the Sky Father giving Sovereignty. Thus the associations with the Thing and justice, or as I like to say "Sublime Protector of the Cosmic Order", i.e. the close connection between Natural and Cosmic Law.
    Tacitus mentioning Mannus "man" born from the Earth - this is the "sacred marriage" of Sky Father and Earth Mother from which we arose truly indigenous to our respective lands. Considering scientific findings about panspermia (and mythology worldwide about our connection to the stars) "seeding" in different Biospheres, so that we arose out of this sacred marriage - we are from the elements, metals, and liquids of Earth as well as Cosmic materials of the stars. To this point there is obviously a lot of speculation and its highly esoteric, so I don’t expect too many to agree.
    As for why Wuodan ultimately "overtook" Ziu, its only an apparent displacement. First, its no accident that his name also relates to the general term for “God” while those of Wuodan primarily relate to his various functions and actions - i.e. the active element of transcendence, Becoming and not only Being, becoming Divine and not only being Divine. So that Wuodan who “screamed” in taking up the Runes - aligning to the vibrations of the cosmos - and “killed himself to himself”, who travels across all the worlds, is the divine energy of constantly expanding one’s own limitations.
    Second, that spirit of restlessness was further nurtured during the Migration Era, when our different tribes expanded beyond their original small area. Having achieved a certain level of going past the initial limitations, Wuodan came more to the forefront as Ziu/Tiwaz receded more in the background - always present of course, coming to the surface at times such as when he had to bind the forces of disorder (Fenrir) that had gotten out of hand (nor is that pun an accident, the secrets are in the words). For the Sky Father foremost represents balance whenever needed. But having reached a certain level of society, a separation from the initial origins and being truly Individuated through the restless spirit, Wuodan came more to the forefront.

  • @willempasterkamp862
    @willempasterkamp862 8 месяцев назад

    Tyr may be etymological connected with some dutch words (my 2 cents) ;
    (dutch pronunciation is Tius, Tinus, dinsdag what relates also to roman Martinus, martius what in dutch translates as Merten or Maarten, the month is called Maart).
    Dier = animal, deer (animals serve or are subordinate to humans), german Tier
    dierbaar = precious, beloved, dear, dare ? daring ?
    dienst = service dienen = duty, to serve diender, dienaar, diener = servant
    dienstbaar = subservient gedienstig = obliging
    dienstknecht = helper, knight, henchman, serf, service-man
    deerlijk (old dutch) = fierce, strongly dierlijjk = animal, bestial
    godsdienst = religion eredienst = service, cult herendienst = serfage
    Dieren = a dutch place name tieren = to rage (like an animal)
    For slavic peoples the word slava (slave, serf) means brave or strong
    resuming ; for me Tyr translates as 'dear' or 'deer', not sure or this is a brother, father,
    helper or friend. It includes loyalty, strenght and bravery
    the Twin ( Gemini ) is sometimes referred to as the Binder and the Looser
    biblical the standing and falling angel ; Michael and Samael, king and priest
    the prince as upholder, defender and the priestly role as the accuser.
    Binder or Tier (to tie) could be a 'bound-man' or slave, knight, ally, witnesss
    Taai (sounds as tie) in dutch = tough in english
    aftaaien, afweren = to fend off, to ward off ; thus Tyr as a Warden, body-guard, buddy

    Tyr is the sky god, becourse he was the one to make sure that fenrir does not devour the sun. and tge origin of tyr is the proto Vedic skygod Dev, wich also gives the origine if the word Devil, Devel was the Romani sungod. I have the theory of why the viking exchanged the the roles of Tyr with Odin, they thought that both the name and the function was too close to the Christian monoteistic God, so to rebel against that, they choose the Odin the frenzy, the shaman as their main and highest god instead.
