Draw Just One Rune

Draw Just One Rune

Drawing just one rune is the easiest and probably the most common method of reading. Without a storyline like when interpreting a layout, there are no runes to compare and contrast. Simply interpret the rune as the answer to the question.

Alternatively, this method may be used repeatedly in succession to let the runes tell you a story.

Self-Analysis Reading

Self Analysis Reading

This psychological layout shows a person about their own mind. It is meant to provide clarity so you have a better picture of what you want out of life. Runes #3 and #4 show similar ideas, the difference being that #3 is more about fun things, and #4 is more about ambitions and what you want to achieve.

Cross

The Cross

This easy-to-read four-rune layout is one of the most useful of all the layouts. The first rune is the significator, and the last shows the outcome, provided that the advice given is followed. The advice is broken down into two runes which can easily be compared and contrasted. Rune #2 suggests what to avoid, while #3 shows the path to take.

This layout can also be used to ask about the meaning of a rune from a previously executed layout that may have been unclear. In this usage, Rune #2 shows what it did not mean, while #3 clarifies the meaning.

Celtic Cross

The Celtic Cross

The Celtic Cross is the most well-known tarot layout and also the largest available here, involving ten runes. This layout begins with a pair of crossing runes at the center of the issue, essentially being two significators. When two significators are involved, they may strengthen or oppose each other, which speaks of the nature of the situation. Above and below the initial cross, we have two runes which are symbolic of the intellectual (top) and emotional (bottom) basis of the issue. The Before and After runes show the past and immediate future.

At the right, four runes are laid out, going upward. At the bottom you have a rune representing yourself, and the next rune shows how others may affect the situation. Rune #9 indicates what you may be hoping for, or possibly, what you hope will not happen. Finally at the top is the outcome, meaning the distant or ultimate future.

Personal Growth Reading

Personal Growth Reading

This in-depth eight-rune layout shows various aspects of your personal journey. It is good for exploring generalised personal questions, but can also be used to explore relationships if the couple is viewed as a whole.

This layout progresses through eight stages similar to the tarot deck's Major Arcana, beginning with birth and the realm of fertility. After birth comes the initial growth which leads to a period of adaptation, change, and re-balancing oneself. Once the process has grown enough, security comes into focus, as it is necessary to protect what has been earned. After this, once again growth is important, but concerning the mind and creativitity this time, leading to another phase of personal changes. Finally upon completion of the journey, the rewards become evident, and beyond that, one's spiritual development level will have noticeably risen.

Relationship Reading #1

Relationship Reading #1

This is a wonderful specialty layout for analysing a relationship on three levels: intellectual or rational thoughts, emotional attitudes or feelings, and postures: meaning the way each person acts in regards to the relationship.

The first rune is the significator, meaning the overall personality of the relationship as a whole. On either side of the significator are two columns. The columns show how each person relates to the other on the three levels described above.

Relationship Reading #2

Relationship Reading #2

This is a specified relationship layout that uses nine runes to analyse where a romantic relationship is at and where it is headed. The first rune shows where it is at now, and can be considered the significator. The second and third runes determine where your partner stands and how it relates to where you are at personally.

Above the stem, the three-rune base of the layout, a cup forms. Runes #4 and #5 show each person's desires, meaning what they want to get out of this coupling. Above this, Runes #6 and #7 show the challenge that this pairing presents to each individual. The final two runes at the top form the rim of the cup, symbolic of the taste of the relationship to each person, which shows how things will turn out on each side.

Astrology Reading

Astrology Reading

The Astrology layout yields insight into aspects of the current state of your life, reading into the planets' influence on your psyche.

As usual, this reading begins with the significator and ends with the outcome. Between the ends we analyse runes which stand for the planetary influences, one by one. The Moon rune represents the influence of the home. Mercury shows the side of the intellect regarding one's interpersonal skills. Of course, Venus is the planet of love, and Mars is the planet of war. These two also represent the female and male energies respectively. The final two planets both relate to Mercury. Jupiter shows the financial side of business, regarding personal gains. Saturn represents the purely intellectual aspects of a person's life, or personal thoughts.

Horse Shoe Reading #1

Horse Shoe Reading #1

The seven-rune Horse Shoe is a convenient, basic layout that can be used to answer different types of questions, especially concerning questions where insight would be helpful. Like several other layouts, it has runes representing the past, present, and future.

The pinnacle of the Horse Shoe, looking like the top of the mountain, shows the obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed and overcome. Rune #6 suggests a course of action to meet this challenge. The final rune shows the outcome or future, should this advice be followed.

Other clues are provided in Runes #3 and #5, which indicate hidden or outside influences that come into play, affecting the journey to your goal.

Horse Shoe Reading #2

Horse Shoe Reading #2

Similar to the Horse Shoe #1, this variant provides insight on different levels. The first two runes begin the reading with the past and present, but then the runes switch to a different focus. Rune #3 warns you about possible side effects that could accompany the future outcome, #7. The base rune, #4 shows desirable or undesirable actions to take concerning the issue. The external environment specifically means the people around you and how they feel about what you are up to. Things which could cause setbacks are indicated in Rune #6, another more specifically focused rune than what is generally labelled the obstacle or challenge rune in some other layouts.

Future Mirror Reading

The Future Mirror Reading

This spiraling five-rune layout shows the present situation as it enters the future. The first rune is the significator, meaning the overall theme and mood of the question posed. The significator is compounded by the next two runes, showing the current problem and a clue to what might offer a helping hand to overcome this problem. The fourth and fifth runes show the near future, leading into the long-term outcome.

Path Reading #1

Path Reading #1

The Path #1 is laid out in a grid utilising two columns and three rows.

The first of the three rows shows rational or intellectual thoughts concerning the question. The second row is concerned with emotional attitudes, meaning feelings. The bottom row represents your posture or stance, meaning how you project yourself outwardly, to the world.

The left column shows how you currently think, feel, and act regarding your concern. The right column suggests advice on how to change your attitudes on these three levels to provide the most beneficial outcome. The trick is to compare and contrast the two columns, which gives hints as to what the runes mean and how to make changes, small or large.

Path Reading #2

Path Reading #2

The second Path layout is a seven-level design that yields insight to achieve a high level of personal and spiritual growth. The roots of the tree, shown in the first two runes, suggest what you need to learn and where the challenge lies. Growing upward, the next two runes are about the forces that guide you and what will help boost your growth. The next two runes show the lower branches of the tree, which provide warnings about what you need to let go of in order to maximise your progress. Finally at the top of the tree, we come to the outcome, showing where this growth process will ultimately lead.
