Nordic Germanic Elder Runic Futhark Tarot

Welling Tarot

 

This deck is unique in that it is designed to use in doing readings for yourself as well as others

This tarot deck is designed around the concepts of the Ancient Nordic Futhark, and is made up the Major Arcana and a Minor Arcana of 5 suits. Each suit has a major lesson to impart. 

 

The lessons of Swords pertain to finding your talents and beginnings of projects or goals.  Every project has its start somewhere way back in a long line of events which lead to a need to build something specific.  Knowing this we can then take what is known, reorganize it in a specific way so you can learn to approach life and the way you work with the individual talents you have.   The suit of Swords teaches you to start from scratch, to relearn everything before continuing.

 

Wands teach how to apply your new insights and knowledge.  After you have finished each lesson, having found new things about yourself and identified different talents, you need to begin to work those new found talents into usable skills.

     

The suit of Tri explores your true path and how to apply it to your life.  The first four cards of this suit deals with the search for your true path in life.  The second four will be discussed after Pentacles.    The first part of Tri helps you to learn to apply yourself in a way that will best help you, the community, and the society in which you live.

 

Pentacles aids you in determining the proper application of talents, skills, and to refine your abilities in pursuit of your true path.

  

The second half of Tri deals with the application of the information you know and the lessons you have learned. 

 

The suit of Cups teaches you how best to follow you heart or soul in pursuit of your true path.

This is where you truly learn to determine who you are, as well as how to best apply all the lessons and knowledge you have acquired.

 

Each of the eight steps within each suit, represented by the cards, form the information necessary to construct the framework needed to bring your projects and goals to life.

The suits

Cups, emotion,

The suite of cups represents the element of water and where everything comes from. All

thought, ideas, concepts, feelings, life, creations, all come from water.

 

Swords, action,

To do something with what came from the water of creation one must look to the application

 of strength to apply that which has been created.  Only through the application of action can

action take the creation and make that creation a reality

 

Wands, skill,

Wands is where intelligence, understanding, wisdom, and experience come into the fray.  In

order to take that which has been created and some action put to it there needs to be a

application of skill understanding, wisdom, and trial and error experience added to the creation

to mold that creation into a workable in the current environment you the creator find your inspiration.

 

Tri, fate,

Tri is the unknown understanding and blind direction of the universe.  To take that which has come from the watery depths of creation and formed into something tangible over time.  Tri is all about the time between the action of the day and the dormant of the night.  The time between the winter fallow and the summer action.  Tri is a time to take into account that which is direction of the unknown and add that information into the creation mix.

 

Pentacles, ability,

Taking all the previous steps, and through your own self understanding of what you want this creation to do be set forth to do and accomplish you then mix all that has been presented to you and guide that thought into reality.

 

The ace – 8

 

Ace: where all begins. What are the priorities of what has been

2: strength of what has been created needs to be applied. Fuel to the creative fires of the world

3: what are the boundaries of what this thing actually is a thought, a dream, and an emotion, what truly is what has come from the depths of the soul.  What are its boundaries, what does this intend to do, and what will it do to the world already.

4: searching into the world around to see what it is and how the it fits into the already

5: the journey to accomplish what was established in the priorities

6: the wisdom to apply itself correctly

7: connection with the world fitting into the world around,

8: fitting into its own little world of life.

 

Major Arcana

The major arcana is designed around the concept of the lessons of the earliest Futhark translation I can find.  I initially found the translations when I looked at the calendar and knew that the Futhark was based on the seasons of the world.  Adjusting back 14 days to account for the time between the creation of the Julian calendar and the adaptation of the runic half month calendar into the Julian, it took 300 years, so the .25 day over 300 years added up to around 14 days.  So I adjusted back my time table, and proceeded with applying that which was an unknown understanding of the Futhark before to a totally understandable form of the runes now.  They are mirrors of what is happening in the world around you.
