| I have found that Runes usually give a compatible reading when done concurrently with a Tarot reading. There is a theory, among certain circles, that the runes were the inspiration for Tarot. Look, for example, at the Hanged Man. He hangs upside down, just as Odin hung from Yggdrasil. I'm inclined to believe that there are some correlations between Tarot and Runes, but they are far from identical.

| The corrlations below are from Edred Thorsson's book, Futhark, a Handbook of Rune Magic. A controversy over this book centers on these alleged correspondences between Runes, Tarot and Astrology. The critics say that this is "new age pandering" and that there is no historical support for such correspondences. Nevertheless, this book is highly regarded in most other aspects. |
