Title: TYR: Myth - Culture - Tradition, Vol. 1
Description: TYR IS NAMED FOR THE GERMANIC SKY GOD, THE GUARDIAN OF TRANSCENDENT AND ETERNAL ORDER.    Published annually, TYR celebrates the traditional myths, culture, and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe. It includes in-depth, original articles, interviews, translations of essential works by radical traditionalist and anti-modern thinkers, as well as extensive reviews of books, films, music, and the arts.    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A RADICAL TRADITIONALIST?    It means to reject the modern, materialist reign of "quantity over quality," the absence of any meaningful spiritual values, environmental devastation, the mechanization and over-specialization of urban life, and the imperialism of corporate mono-culture, with its vulgar "values" of progress and efficiency. It means to yearn for the small, homogeneous tribal societies that flourished before Christianity -- societies in which every aspect of life was integrated into a holistic system.    WHAT WE REPRESENT:      Resacralization of the world versus materialism; folk/traditional culture versus mass culture; natural social order versus an artificial hierarchy based on wealth; the tribal community versus the nation-state; stewardship of the earth versus the "maximization of resources"; a harmonious relationship between men and women versus the "war between the sexes"; handicrafts and artisanship versus Industrial mass-production.    IN THIS ISSUE:    STEPHEN EDRED FLOWERS on "Integral Culture"; JOSCELYN GODWIN on the Italian esotericist JULIUS EVOLA; French philosopher ALAIN DE BENOIST's interview with "new comparative mythologist" GEORGES DUMEZIL; NIGEL PENNICK on the "Spiritual Arts and Crafts"; STEVE POLLINGTON on the Germanic war god Woden; MICHAEL MOYNIHAN on divine traces in the Nibelungenlied; COLLIN CLEARY on the anti-modern television series The Prisoner; JOSHUA BUCKLEY'S interview with IAN READ of the English heathen music group FIRE + ICE, and much more.
