Týsdagr Hall

About Týsdagr Hall

Týsdagr Hall is a place for essays on Heathen belief, practice, myth, history, and the obligations that follow from them. It is less a temple than a long table: somewhere to bring questions, experience, old sources, and the occasional hard disagreement.

The name comes from Týsdagr, the Old Norse name for Tuesday, the day of Týr. Týr is associated with law, courage, sacrifice, and the keeping of oaths. He was the first god the author took seriously, and the first god who took the author seriously. The hall is named for him out of mutual respect.

The work is written by a veteran, cybersecurity professional, woodworker, and practicing Heathen. He writes from experience rather than authority.

The practice behind the work is Germanic Heathenry shaped by household worship, offerings, ancestor remembrance, reciprocity, personal honor, and obligation. It is informed by the surviving sources, but not confined to reenactment. The old ways have to live in the world we have.

“Discussion, not debate” means the purpose is understanding, not victory. Readers may disagree, question an interpretation, or offer another source. What is not welcome is point-scoring, bad-faith argument, or treating religion as a blood sport.
