So today I decided to dive deeper into my rune and tarot practice, ’cause let’s be honest, my readings were kinda hit or miss. Felt like I was just guessing half the time, y’know? Pulled out my worn tarot deck and that little velvet pouch holding my runestones – these weren’t new tools, but I needed fresh ways to connect.
The Experiment Setup
Started by clearing my kitchen table – good vibes only. Lit a cinnamon candle (smells like focus to me) and grabbed my grubby notebook. My goal was simple: combine runes and tarot for one question instead of keeping ’em separate like always.
Chose a real headache I’ve been having: “Should I quit my boring office job to walk dogs full-time?” Shuffled the tarot deck till a card literally flew out – that fiery Knight of Wands landed face-up. Immediately thought: “Hell yes, take the leap!” But then I remembered last time I trusted a single card, I bought concert tickets and got food poisoning.
Mixing the Magic
Dumped my runestones on the wooden table – they clattered like angry teeth. Shut my eyes, swirled ’em around, and grabbed three without peeking. Got these bad boys:
- Dagaz (that daylight breakthrough rune)
- Fehu (cattle symbol – aka money vibes)
- Perthro (mystery cup, meaning surprises)
Suddenly my “hell yes” felt shaky. Dagaz screamed “new beginnings,” but Fehu warned about cash flow. Perthro just laughed like “plot twist coming!” Stared at the Knight of Wands again and noticed something new – the horse looked ready to bolt, but the rider’s helmet was on crooked. Huh.
The Lightbulb Moment
Scribbled like mad in my notebook: Knight + Dagaz = explosive energy for change. But Fehu + Knight? That stallion might gallop straight off a financial cliff. Then Perthro winked like “expect chaos.” Realized combining both tools painted a clearer picture: “Go for it, but stash six months of rent money first” instead of my original “burn the cubicle tomorrow” plan.
Tried this combo approach on three smaller questions – like whether to text my ex (pulled Eight of Cups + rune Naudiz aka needfire – verdict: NOPE). Each time, the dual perspective revealed angles I’d normally miss. Even screwed up a rune draw on purpose – dropped Isa (ice rune) upside-down – and instantly knew the reading was voided. Didn’t need no rulebook for that!
What Actually Changed
By sunset, my fingers were smudged with charcoal from handling runes. Biggest takeaway? Tarot shouts but runes whisper. That Knight screamed action, but Fehu quietly warned about my near-empty savings account. And Perthro? That little stone straight up saved me from future headaches.
Won’t lie – my dog-walking dream’s still brewing. But now I’m hunting side gigs instead of rage-quitting. Funny how some rocks and cardboard forced me to actually think instead of just feel. Gonna keep this tag-team method for tough decisions. Feels less like guessing, more like… consulting weird little advisors.
