TYR: Myth - Culture - Tradition, Vol. 1
~ Michael Moynihan (Author), Collin Cleary (Editor), Joshua Buckley (Editor)
Product 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.
