Lore:
    This rune embodies the force of the god Tyr. He is the Norse god of law and justice.

In northern mythology, it is Tyr who sacrifices his hand between the jaws of the Fenris wolf in order to save his fellow gods from destruction.
Positive Meaning:
    Justice can be expected, and good judgment based on a careful analysis for the facts. Victory will be yours if you have acted wisely. The power of positive self-sacrifice.

    Too much analysis can overwhelm you. Stop planing and start doing. Do not over-sacrifice. Injustice.
