Summary: Collin Cleary: An Important New Writer
Comment: Tyr is a wonderful new project. The concept of an annual Nordic, pagan, anti-modernist cultural review is great. It is well-written, well-designed, and well-edited.
The volume contains some well-known writers: an interview with Georges Dumezil, the great Indo-Europeanist, by Alain de Benoist, the French "New Right" philosopher, an essay by Joscelyn Godwin on Julius Evola, the Italian far-Right, far-out thinker, and two articles by the prolific Nigel Pennick, whose books now fill a whole shelf in my library!
Editor Michael Moynihan has contributed an excellent article on the character of Hagen in the Nibelungenlied (with wonderfully chosen illustration from Fritz Lang's movie version).
But the most exciting thing about Tyr is the emergence of a major new talent: Collin Cleary. As I read through Tyr, I began to notice that my favorite pieces were all written by Cleary: his philosophical essay "Knowing the Gods," which is a vaguely Heideggerian neo-Pagan manifesto, his brilliant essay on the anti-modernist TV show "The Prisoner" (which would seem out of place in the journal, were it not one of its best contributions), his review essay on kooky...rune-master Karl Maria Willigut, which actually makes some sense out of the old charlatan, and even his short book reviews on Alain Danielou's books on Hinduism. All of them are magnificent.
It is heartening to see that Cleary is also one of the editors of the journal, along with Moynihan and Joshua Buckley, who takes care of the short book and music reviews. With Cleary's hand at the helm, Tyr will have a bright future indeed!
One recommendation: Tyr needs to steer clear of Right-wing [people] like de Benoist, Evola, and Willigut, who are a millstone around the neck of modern Nordic neo-paganism and Indo-European studies.

Summary: A Neo-Pagan's, Anti-Modern's Dream
Comment: TYR is subtitled "myth-culture-tradition," and this describes exactly the realms it covers. TYR is the first journal to appeal directly to individuals interested in the growing "neo-pagan" movement. It includes articles by leading scholars, doing serious history and cultural anthropology. But the orientation of the journal is not dull and "academic." It is intended for those who, discovering these traditions through serious intellectual detective work, intend to actually PRACTICE them. The journal also has extensive book and music reviews. I cannot praise this journal highly enough. It fills a great void. This is an absolute-must have for those interested in the ancient traditions of our European ancestors. Indeed, I would not be surprised if it became the "bible," if you will, and centerpiece, of the entire neo-pagan movement.

Summary: Tyr
Comment: Collection of essays from various authors that mostly have an anti globalist/mass culture and pro folk culture and euro pagan theme. Highlights for me were Markus Wolfs essay on German "volkish" writer Hermann Lons, along with the included bit of Lons writing, Anabel Lee's "Dark Side of the Mountain" article, Michael Moynihans "Divine Traces in the Nibelungenlied", Steve Pollingtons essay on Woden called "From Lore-Giver to Law-Giver" and Nigel Pennicks "On the Spiritual Arts and Crafts" which talks about the value and spiritual side of being able to make things with your hands. Lots of great stuff in this. There's a #1 on this so I assume and hope there are more of these in the works.
