In the myths, Tyr placed his hand in the wolf Fenrir's mouth so the gods could bind the beast, and lost it. Tiwaz is that kind of courage: honor, justice, integrity and standing up for what's right, even at a cost.
Reversed (merkstave): Unfairness, cowardice, or sacrifice that's gone too far. Check whether the fight is still worth it.

What do I believe in enough to stand up for?
Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
