Is there anyone out there who can do a tarot reading with runes, how do the symbols from say a rider-waite tarot translate with a reading from the runes?

I do not know much about Tarot, so I could not help you on that but Runes I do.  Runes are very different in there meanings to Tarot and have a different energy.  I once picked up the Ryder Waite deck and felt sick so there I can't help you there either.  I can help you with the meanings of Runes but you will have to go into the Tarot forum to ask about Tarot there.

Sorry I could not be of any help there.

Did you mean rune cards? Cos they can be used in a very similar way to a major arcana reading, utilising tarot spreads and layouts.

The symbols of the Rider Waite-Smith deck are greatly different to rune symbols. But..... the symbolic meaning of the cards isn't. Each tarot card has a rune assigned or linked to its energy. The Haindl deck is one of the best known and has a rune on each corresponding card.

There are many printings and different versions of the Rider Waite deck too, so it is a bit like saying 'I don't like fruit'. Many have been changed, redrawn and reprinted since the original RWS deck. For most the symbolism remains throughout though and they are still the most used standard deck for learning, from there people usually move on and thats when we notice the similarity and links between all divination tools

There are plenty of books (and web sources) on multi rune spreads to deliver a tarot like feel to a runecast.  I don't know if a tarot like reading is possible with the runes (other than with rune decks, like Gem refers to, although conceptually that is probably closer to tarot decks with runic major arcana than runes adopting tarot-like qualities).  If you want a tarot reading with a runic flavor that is probably the way to go; if you are looking for complex (over 5 runes) spreads using the runes, I would just use one of the many rune spreads designed for that purpose.

hi
i do tarot card reading Osho-Zen Tarot deck for the past four years and i have just started to try and do Rune stone reading . i entirely agree that the symbols on rune stones and  tarot cards are entirely different but there is a also a point of similarity. both use the language of symbolism and i myself find that practitioner of one of the great art namely tarot or rune can easily read and interpret the other . i hope my senior in this field would be in a position to enlighten me further.
