Tiwaz is the rune of self-sacrifice. In its essence, it represents a particular form of self-sacrifice where you willingly give up part of yourself for others. Share on X
Sometimes the sacrifice is a last resort in a bid to get justice. And if the cause is just – you win.
It is the rune of spiritual warriors, whistleblowers, champions of the people and those who guard against evil.
It is about doing what is right, even if it means giving up something that you value. It is a victory achieved through sacrifice, not by harming others.
Tiwaz tells us that sometimes the only way to win, is through sacrifice. Give to gain.
