Spiritual warrior, pay attention to honor, integrity, and duty. Selflessly serve higher power with self-sacrifice if necessary. Moral strength with the will to succeed you will. Upholding promises & oaths, our actions rooted in principle. Courageous in face of adversity, tenacious in pursuit of fairness, & disciplined in how we carry ourselves.

Brightstave/Upright: Lot of faith, loyalty, & trust that endures the face of all hardships. Justice can be expected & good judgment based on careful analysis of the facts. Victory will be yours if you have acted wisely. Strive to order the environment in a rational way. The path to success may lie through self-sacrifice. Vigilance & hard work combined with knowledge are necessary. Reliability, loyalty, and faithfulness must be practiced & can be expected. Strive exactitude & precision, & plan very carefully.

Merkstave/Reversed: You have a tendency to become bogged down in analysis & details which may lead to a paralysis of action & a limitation in vision. You are always planning, never did. Self-sacrifice is to the detriment of the ultimate interests – sacrificing over much. A stoppage of the Tiwaz force leads to injustice, imbalance, confusion, & deterioration of rationality. Mental paralysis, over-analysis, over sacrifice, injustice, imbalance.
Affirmation: Bestow upon me, your light & your might. May righteous justice empower my will conquering all that stands in the way of what is right & what is most high.
