Review:

Tyr is a unique, largely but not exclusively Pagan-oriented publication that is in fact rather difficult to categorize. It has much to recommend it, from scholarly articles on ancient European Pagan religion and mythology, thoughtful reflections on Ásatrú and other Pagan revival movements of the last several decades and their roots in earlier cultural movements such as Romanticism, interviews with leading figures in contemporary Paganism, philosophers and musicians, and music and book reviews. It also has certain more controversial political aspects ... Tyr is certainly one of the more thoughtful and scholarly, if not fully academic, Pagan publications available, and is recommended both for the quality of many of its articles on various Pagan and Pagan-related issues, and for its more controversial political aspects, which are a dimension of the modern Pagan revival in need of more sustained exposition, debate and analysis. --Michael Strmiska, The Pomegranate

A mind of healthy curiosity even one sharing none of the conclusions about life, the universe and everything championed in Tyr will find plenty stimulating here. Tyr is a first-class artifact of, ironically, modern Bohemia. --Zach Dundas, Willamette Week

The Radical Traditionalists from Tyr have successfully attracted contributions from academics and scholars by maintaining a publication of high intellectual quality ... the adaptation of the concept of Radical Traditionalism by people outside Tyr testifies to the impact that Tyr has had. --Jacob C. Senholt, Radical Traditionalism and the New Right: An Examination of Political Esotericism in America
