Tyr: Myth—Culture—Tradition is an American “radical traditionalist” journal, edited by Joshua Buckley, Michael J. Moynihan, and (in the first issue) Collin Cleary.

History

Tyr is published annually. The first issue was published in 2002 under the ULTRA imprint in Atlanta, Georgia. Four volumes, in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2014, were published by Norway's Integral Publications, one in 2018 by Arcana Europa Media. One editor, Buckley, was a former member of a Neo-Nazi group called SS of America, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The magazine states that it "celebrates the traditional myths, culture, and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe."

A brief 2004 review in Willamette Week of the second issue said that "It's hard not to find the recurrent interest in a posited tribal "homogeneity" a little discomfiting (indeed, a section of this issue's preface attempts to dismiss "The Fascist Accusation" before the fact)", and summarized the journal as "a first-class artifact of, ironically, modern Bohemia".

Michael Strmiska, writing for the Pagan Studies journal The Pomegranate in 2010 reviewed the first three issues. According to Strmiska, the Tyr was eclectic and "difficult to categorize". Strmiska also addressed the political content of Tyr, specifically saying the journal was not pro-fascist or neo-Nazi.
