Runa Teyvaz
(Tiwaz) is the first, opening rune of the third atta. Traditionally, she is associated with the ace Tyr (other names are Tyr, Tiu and Tiwaz). He is the god of war in Norse mythology, famous for having only one arm.
“Tyr is the one-armed god, the Sorrow of Fenrir, and the ruler of the temples”
This is what the runic poem says. This god is one of the oldest known in the Scandinavian countries. His authority was very high: temples were built in his honor, and, according to some reports, human sacrifices were made.
Rune Tiwaz is the first, opening rune of the third atta.
Tyr lost his second hand as a result of a brave act: when the Aesir were going to tie the ominous wolf Fenrir with a charmed chain, he did not agree to this until one of the gods put his hand in his mouth. Tyr was the only one who decided to do this. Realizing that he could not break the chain, Fenrir bit off his hand. Before this incident, Tyr was considered the god of the sky, but as a result of his mutilation, he was demoted in status and became the god of battle and victory, and his former powers passed to Odin and Thor.
The shape of the Teyvaz rune resembles an arrow pointing upward, or the tip of a spear. Perhaps this is the magical spear Guingnir, which belongs to the god Odin and always finds a target. There is a possibility that before his injury it was Tyr who owned this weapon.
The Celts have a similar legend: the lord of the clouds, the god Nuada, having lost his hand in battle, receives a new one - made of silver, but ceases to lead the tribes of the goddess Danu.
The meaning of the direct rune
The Teyvaz rune has the meaning of a symbol of military valor and military glory. It is also associated with masculine strength. God Tyr gives his protection only to those who have proven themselves to be a real man and warrior, and helps such people in any battle. Teyvaz is associated with such character qualities as courage, courage and perseverance, willpower, and determination. It supports in difficult situations, gives strength to achieve what is planned, helps to cope with difficulties, and gain a sense of direction. This is the rune of victory; it was depicted on weapons and armor in order to have a better chance in battle with the enemy.
Having lost one arm, Tyr still remained a formidable and skilled warrior - this is also the quality of the Teyvaz rune: the ability not to retreat in the face of difficulties, to go to the end. The direct meaning of the rune in the reading may mean that difficult trials are coming, in the face of which you need to gather strength in order to endure them with dignity, without losing heart.
The military path in ancient Scandinavia was very risky. You could either increase your status, from a simple landowner becoming a jarl, and then a king, or lower it, by being injured in war and becoming a cripple. It was easy to die in battle, but the ancient Scandinavians were not afraid of death: they believed that the beautiful Valkyrie maidens would take the warriors who died in battle to Valhalla, where they would forever feast at the same table with Odin, the father of the gods. The best afterlife awaited those who died in battle: eternal glory, honors and fun at the feast, and the dark and cold halls of Hel awaited those who died an ordinary death. It is not surprising that everyone who could hold a sword chose life in battle.
Teyvaz - rune of honor
In the Northern Tradition, oaths once taken had a huge influence on a person’s life. Much could have been forgiven, but perjury could never be forgiven. Myths and sagas tell about this; the theme of honor runs like a red thread through all the Eddas.
The god of this rune Tyr is the god of truth. For a long time, in the pantheon of northern gods, it was he who was the head, and the first principles that he personified - honor, truth, loyalty to the oath - were fundamental in the life of people of that era.
Everyone has the right to live the way they want. And you too. Take with you only those who are ready and want to change their lives, and those whom you are ready to support and protect. Be where you feel good, and with those who are dear to you. If for this you need to go to the “other side” - go boldly.
Don't be afraid to change your life if your inner truth requires it. You will never be defeated if you follow your path and feel that you are doing everything right.
A person makes himself either pathetic or strong. Myself. The amount of effort expended in both cases is the same, but the result is different.

The meaning of the reversed rune
If the Teyvaz rune is inverted, then its meaning changes to the opposite: it means a broken, discouraged person who is unable to fight or who voluntarily gives up the fight. Sometimes an inverted Teyvaz can mean a warning: do not enter into direct conflict, otherwise the losses will be great. She advises to abandon the competition, since it is impossible to achieve victory in a direct way.
Refusal to fight was not considered shameful among the ancient Scandinavians if it was clear that the enemy’s forces were significantly superior. Stupidity and recklessness were considered a much greater vice. A wise warrior will not succumb to provocation and will save his strength to wait for the right moment and strike.
Analogue of the rune in Slavic culture
The Treba rune is considered a Slavic variation of Teyvaz. This is the rune of a warrior, valor, fortitude, that is, almost the same as in the original. Treba is a sacrifice. Tyr made a sacrifice to ease the fate of the gods. Without sacrifice, the implementation of intentions is impossible, and the military Path implies constant restrictions and the ability to abandon the usual, overcoming one’s human essence. The path of the warrior is the willingness to sacrifice oneself: the warrior no longer belongs to himself, he becomes an instrument of the gods and through this gains dedication and strength. All his actions on the Path serve the realization of his destiny.

The use of the Teyvaz rune in magic
In ancient times, warriors applied this sign to the hilt of their blade to gain victory in battle and the protection of the god Tyr. It can still be used for the same purposes.
Modern magicians use it in difficult situations when maximum concentration of forces is necessary to achieve a goal. In dark times, she gives determination and will so as not to deviate from the spiritual path. Rune Teyvaz helps to gain courage in situations where it is difficult to cope with fears and weaknesses, but it is necessary to overcome them in order to achieve your goals. It will be useful to those who want to restore justice and prove that they are right. This rune helps strong-willed people, but it will also transfer its energy to the weak and help them become a little stronger and more decisive.
Unfortunately, this rune has a “side effect” - it has a certain power to attract obstacles into life that will have to be overcome. Therefore, it is not suitable for everyday use unless the person is in a combat zone.
Another use of the Teyvaz rune is to magically enhance male power. They use both a single sign and galdrasts.
This power is not for protection, but for accomplishment.
Teyvaz is called the rune of kings - only they can judge, and judge fairly, because they know the Truth. You already have the strength and wisdom for this, and by including this rune in yourself, you will have the opportunity to manage your own power.
Teyvaz is the strength and will that will remain with you as long as you are faithful to your only goal, for the sake of which you are now receiving this Gift.
Knowing the Teyvaz rune allows you to learn how to turn on protection with action. Not a blind defense that limits your own space, but an action that allows you to expand this space.
If faith in your truth is strong, if there is no fear of the people around you, if there is a readiness to defend your own in any case, a blind defense no longer makes sense. On the contrary, the need to expand the space of one’s possibilities will finally manifest itself and give inner strength to move forward, achieving one’s goals - without fear, without fear.
Interpretation of the Teyvaz rune in fortune telling
In fortune telling, the rune manifests itself as a sign that a goal will soon be achieved, as an indication that a person is following the right path and that one must be true to oneself to the end. But depending on the question, the meaning of the rune will have different shades.
For love and relationships
If a relationship is made, depending on the question asked and combinations, the meaning of the rune will change. If in a relationship fortune-telling the question was asked whether it would be possible to achieve reciprocity from the person in question, then the answer will definitely be positive. As a tip, the rune Tyr means action: it means that you need to show determination and perseverance. If the question was asked about what prevents you from achieving love or what problems there are in the relationship, then Teyvaz may mean excessive rigidity and assertiveness. Yes, you can achieve reciprocity with the help of violence, but there is nothing good in such “love”. The inverted position is a sign to give up trying, at least for a while, not to go ahead: this will not lead to anything good.
Combinations:
- Berkana
is an ideal union, love between a man and a woman; - Soulu
- a person is a great authority for the hidden person; - Yera
- you shouldn’t give up trying, your efforts will bear fruit, but it takes time; - Hagalaz
- pressure and straightforwardness will lead to the opposite result.
For business and work
In business plans, Teyvaz is interpreted in the usual way: do not retreat, continue to stick to your line, overcoming difficulties, on the way to big money. Only perseverance will help you achieve results. This rune advises you to be tougher in business negotiations.
Combinations:
- Fehu
- patience and purposeful actions will bring great profits; - Gebo
- you need to select worthy partners and set your own conditions; - Nautiz
- difficult times are coming, you need to pull yourself together and wait it out.
To your health
Teyvaz in health scenarios indicates the body’s great resistance to any disease. Such a person is almost not susceptible to infections, he will never get cancer. If a test occurs in the form of a serious illness, with the help of fortitude he will be able to overcome everything. But Teyvaz can mean various injuries and wounds: alas, for a warrior they are inevitable.
Combinations:
- Laguz
- dangerous wound, bleeding; - Eyvaz
- fractures; - Uruz
- muscle and tendon strains, “sports” injuries; - Hagalaz
- bruises, injuries from blows; - Nautiz
- immobility of limbs; - Evaz, Raido
- leg injuries, inability to move; - Berkana
- for women it can mean postpartum trauma.
Meaning in fortune telling
The Teyvaz rune represents not only movement towards a goal, but also the creation of something. It allows you to look at the action from the outside and impartially evaluate it.
In a fortune-telling reading, it is important to pay attention to the elements surrounding the rune. They will help you more accurately decipher the dropped combination and specifically indicate the area of the future event.
Straight position
The image of Teyvaz in its direct form in a fortune-telling reading has a pronounced positive meaning.
It can have the following meanings:
- Obtaining financial profit by concluding a profitable deal.
- Advancement up the career ladder, change of workplace to a more prestigious one.
- Victory in a contest or competition. Intellectual or physical superiority over competitors.
- Excellent health. Quick cure for diseases of any nature.
- Overcoming difficulties with the help of determination and incredible willpower.
- Good luck in love. A new romantic acquaintance or taking an existing relationship to a new level.
- Defending your interests by legal methods. Victory in court.
If this rune falls out for a woman during fortune telling, then this is an indication of a man. Most often we are talking about the emergence of a new love interest. Such relationships will be built on constant risk and emotional swings, but at the same time they will bring many prospects.
Inverted position
Indirectly, the meaning of the Teyvaz rune changes to negative. It describes the immediate future as a series of problems and dashed hopes.
In addition, Teyvaz can mean:
- Conflicts with other people due to misunderstandings.
- Quarrels with close friends and within the family. Destruction of trusting relationships.
- Problems at work, pressure from superiors, breaking a partnership agreement.
- Lack of inspiration and motivation. Personality degradation.
- Difficult period in relationships. Separation from a partner, betrayal, crisis of self-determination.
- Severe, often chronic disease.
- Apathy or depression against a background of severe mental exhaustion.
Reverse Teyvaz reports that the person misjudged the situation or did not fully understand it. The best option would be to slow down the course of events and rethink your actions.
An inverted rune is inextricably linked with failure. She warns about the futility of any action, but at the same time calls not to give up, because every negative situation has its end.
Why do you need an amulet with the Teyvaz rune?
Amulet with the Teyvaz rune.
An amulet with a single Teyvaz sign can work great when you need short-term but powerful support. It will help, like an arrow or a spear, to quickly move from one shore to another: the amulet protects its owner during trips and flights. An amulet with this sign will also help those who are going to war.
For seriously ill people, an amulet with Teyvaz and galdrastavs based on this rune will help boost immunity and add strength to fight the disease.
The magical properties of the Teyvaz rune
The main magical purpose of the rune is to restore justice. But, there is a significant amendment: Teyvaz helps only those who are fighting for a just cause, and not trying to find personal gain. He who is truly guilty will never be able to use magic to tip the scales in his favor. The rune is not so easy to deceive; it personifies impartiality and complete neutrality in the current situation. If you tie Teyvaz and Raido together, you can win a court case.
Often, with the help of runes, love manipulations are made to attract a man who sympathizes with a woman. Do not forget that the effect of the rune, although specific, has a short-lived effect and only on a specific problem or situation. For one “good” deed, separate magic with a rune is required.
