” For the Irminic family, the house and household are both the source and the ‘last bastion’ of true frith, hospitality (in all of its Heathen sense) and that which is good and whole” (11).
Similarly:
“Our home provides us with a ready and holy refuge that effectively affords due and sufficient warding from affliction or care. It protects our self and those bound to us (through the cohesiveness of the household) from inundation and attack from without, allowing our bodies and spirits to ‘refresh’ and ‘recharge’ on a daily basis and in proper means and manner -a true and literal ‘healing comfort’ (13).
We can readily see the importance of the home no matter how it’s viewed. Couple that with the resurrection of Tyr signified in the Tyr Rune, and the powerful home is the center-point of life that was, life that is, and life that may be, which totally embodies our ancestral, physical and spiritual existance.

Rune Lesson: Spiritual, physical, heritage, all can be one’s home. According to James Hjuka Coulter’s book, “Germanic Heathenry, A Practical Guide,” he says this;
” For the Irminic family, the house and household are both the source and the ‘last bastion’ of true frith, hospitality (in all of its Heathen sense) and that which is good and whole” (11).
Similarly:
“Our home provides us with a ready and holy refuge that effectively affords due and sufficient warding from affliction or care. It protects our self and those bound to us (through the cohesiveness of the household) from inundation and attack from without, allowing our bodies and spirits to ‘refresh’ and ‘recharge’ on a daily basis and in proper means and manner -a true and literal ‘healing comfort’ (13).
We can readily see the importance of the home no matter how it’s viewed. Couple that with the resurrection of Tyr signified in the Tyr Rune, and the powerful home is the center-point of life that was, life that is, and life that may be, which totally embodies our ancestral, physical and spiritual existance.
