The rune Tír actually has two names, the one used in the "Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem" means "glory,' but the name used in Old Norse was Tyr, the name of the Norse god, the Anglo Saxon equivalent of this name being Tiw. Tír is a guiding force, a mark to live one's life by. This guiding mark is the troth or loyalty between friends and family. The Norse god Tyr was the god of troth or faith kept between warriors of the same war band. Tyr was also god of victory in war, legal matters, and any other undertaking that required one to strive. Tales in the Icelandic sagas portray warriors invoking this rune for victory.

Tír is the rune of justice in all matters. However, this justice is often recieved only after undergoing trial by ordeal. The god Tiw lost one of his hands in order to bind Fenris the wolf so that justice could be served. Thus the rune Tír is not the symbol of easy victory, but victory to come if one does what is right and true and is honest in every undertaking.

In divination, Tír means a successful venture, an existence of troth and loyalty. Guidance may be in the offering. In spellwork, it can be used to gain success or to force someone to obey a legal agreement
