I know it’s cool to think of Tyr linked to warfare and warriors, but that isn’t how I think of Tyr. I put much more into the self sacrifice aspect of Tyr. I see Tyr in the father that stays home to play catch with his kids, instead of going out with friends. I see Tyr in the parent who works overtime so that his kids will have something that they need. I see Tyr in the parent who eats less so that his wife and kids will have more. The Tyr that gives up something of himself, so that others may prosper, that’s how I view Tyr.
