Rune Revelations
A modern take on an ancient tradition


















Exert from review of Xultan Tarot Card deck,
by Cindy Hnatyshyn


The Fool:
The tiger in this card represents earthly conquest, of which the fool is just beginning. His headpiece and items in hand represent his spiritual conquests and the tools of experience he has accumulated along the way of his journey, and hence they are minimal to begin with. He is depicted as standing barely at the base of the mountain, again representing that he has just began his ‘climb’ in this world and that his spiritual awareness has nowhere to go but up. This represents an individual journey on which everyone has their own tiger to face in order to reach a heightened clarity and more peaceful way of living. The position of zero and corresponding planet of Uranus relate to the goal of Oneness that the fool is facing, where everything is of itself and has zero value. Uranus rules personal revolution, which the fool is embarking on solely with the most basic human function of breath. He is located at the bottom of the hierarchy, as is the paddler shown at the back of the boat.
Meditation: Taming the Tiger

The Hanged Man:
In this card, the hanged man is tied to both a tree, symbolizing life as we know it to be, and a crucifix-like stake, symbolizing the Christ-consciousness. Anyone who connects both of these aspects into their existence on Earth has felt, at one time or another, this persecution by society. The hanged man is being persecuted for seeing the Big Picture, and he is hung upside down to represent how society views his beliefs – hence, not right.
The indigo line of color on his waist represents his connection to the other side, for indigo is the color associated with accessing one’s sixth sense. (example of Indigo Children) The information provided by your sixth sense is knowing why you are here and having connection to your soul. Many spiritual leaders were crucified for holding true to their beliefs, once they discovered their purpose on Earth. Relatedly, the planet Neptune rules those who are abandoned by society, visionaries, and the act of persecution. The position of twelve represents the idea of reincarnation, which is a belief that truly must be overcome by the limitations of the mind in order to grasp.
Meditation: Vision

The Star:
This card is all about personal freedom. The pouring water depicted represents flushing away, hence purification of the self. The symbolic female energy relates to Aquarius and water. The freedom implied is through letting go of material connections and seeing that all we are or have been birthed from is the essence of the Universe – as illustrated by a galaxy of stars in this card. The bird and woman are facing East, which denotes facing the origin of the sun, origin of life. Our origin is completely non-material, as stars are nothing more than potential for light, as are we potential for this same enlightenment. The water is equally symbolic of this, it represents the Source, birth and fertility. Everything is created from potential, and light potential of this star refers to the ability we have to connect to our inner-self then thus our soul and the universe. This is often facilitated by meditation, among other things. The position of seventeen denotes rebellious energy, which we would need in order to free ourselves from limitations of material and the mind. The amount of rebellious energy we have is parallel to our potential for reaching a state of Oneness.
Meditation: Light Potential

The Lovers:
The purpose of human nature in finding a partner is to find a reflection of ourself. We are seeking a reflection of ourself. The Lovers appear to be holding what may be a mirror, for just this purpose. She approaches the unity with her intuition, and he approaches with action and results of that action all around him, represented by the items around him. The Lovers card represents the coming together of two people, bringing reflection and thus awareness to hormonal, psychological, spiritual and sexual dimensions of each person. The position of six represents loyalty and elicits strong emotion. Gemini dominates intellect, and curiosity, and the function of smell relates to how we attract others physiologically.
Meditation: Reflection of Self
