Tiewaz is the letter T
Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)
Tiewaz is a guiding star; well does it keep faith with princes;
it is ever on its course over the mists of night and never fails
The guiding star that never falters and never fails, the Pole Star, the Nail Star, by which the heavens are held up, and all the other stars move about in eternal circumlocution. It was by the Pole Star that people would find their way at night.
In the Southern US, it was, and is, the Star of Freedom, guiding slaves north, where they could be emancipated. As it is part of Ursa minor, it takes it’s place in mythology of Artemis, for whom the bear was sacred. It is also believed to be part of Hesperides, the daughters of Atlas, who protect the apples of immortality, also with Draco, the Dragon, surrounding them. It was also called Cynosura, The Dog’s Tail, as Ursa minor was also seen as a dog in another myth about these stars.
In Scandinavia it was called Veralder Nagli, (World Spike) which the world was to revolve around, it’s end a glittering jewel which sparkles in the night sky.
It is a symbol of constancy and fixedness, but yet also freedom and guidance. Tiewaz holds it’s own in all things, but by following it one can find their way.

Shtan has a “sh” sound, but otherwise does not have a letter equivalent.
There is no rune poem for Shtan. It is a Northumbrian rune.
Shtan means “stone”. As a rune, it reflects the almost eternal power of stone and rock, which can endure decades, and centuries. The influence that Shtan indicates is one that is permanent and slow to change, or that requires great skill, patience and determination to bring to any change to, and often the changes are small, like chipping of stone with a sculptor’s chisel. It is very stable for that reason, and also very neutral. It is also a rune of wealth, but it points to wealth that is enduring and lasting, like owning land that is passed down from family members for a long time, or items that only gain in value, like precious stones and metals.

The rune for this week is Tiewaz, described in this poem as the Pole Star, but whose name is also a variant of Tyr, a god of sacrifice, but also judgement, wisdom, honor, and war. Tiewaz reversed indicates that subtle influences of this week are opportunities for us to grow in those qualities. Hard decisions, questions of ethics and integrity, and seeking for clarity will be a common foundation among events of the week.
