The deck is designed as a dual-system tool, speaking simultaneously to practitioners of classical tarot and to those with a working knowledge of the Elder Futhark runes, with the two symbolic languages layered to produce compound readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deck's imagery draws on Norse mythology and the visual language of the runic tradition, integrating specific rune glyphs and their associated meanings into each card's compositional field. The major arcana retain their classical names and archetypal functions while being reframed within a Norse mythological context, creating cards that read on both axes simultaneously.
