Tyr: Myth—Culture—Tradition is the name of an American anti-modern, "radical traditionalist" journal of "neo-pagan crypto-scholarship"^[1], edited by Joshua Buckley, Michael Moynihan, and (in the first issue) Collin Cleary.

It is an annual publication named after Tyr, the Germanic God of Justice. It "celebrates the traditional myths, culture, and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe." The first issue was published in 2002 under the ULTRA imprint in Atlanta, Georgia.

Radical Traditionalism

Radical Traditionalism is the name given by the Tyr journal to modern ethnocentric movements of the New Right that seek to revive pre-modern values of "the Indo-European Tradition"^{[citation needed]} concerning the spiritual aspects of life. In contrast to modern culture, which they see as marked by materialism, mechanization and urbanism, radical traditionalists promote traditional and local culture and folklore, respectful treatment of the earth and animals, and small-scale organization of society (distributism, localism).

The Radical traditionalist ideology is derived from the philosophy of authors such as French far-right thinker Alain de Benoist, Italian occultist Julius Evola or Christopher Stagner. Closely related is the Traditionalist School of French occultist René Guénon and others.

The editorial preface of Tyr, vol. 1 enumerates the following "radical traditionalist" ideals:

Resacralization of the world versus materialism.
Natural social hierarchy 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."
Handicraft and artisanship versus industrial mass-production.

"Radical traditionalism" thus combines the ideology of New Right ethnocentrism and occultist or national mysticist currents in neopaganism, as represented by e.g. Koenraad Logghe who in the late 1990s acted both as a neopagan "high priest" and founding member of the "World Congress of Ethnic Religions" as well as co-editor of the far right TeKoS journal, the Groupement de recherche et d'études pour la civilisation européenne of Alain de Benoist, or the notion of racial memory or "metagenetics" proposed by Stephen McNallen.
