Integrating Tarot and Rune practices Q: In one of your videos, you mentioned that Tarot and Runes—essentially, any two egregores—should not be combined in practice. The question is: how can one transition smoothly, gradually, and gently from one system to another without experiencing negative consequences? A:That is a great question, and here is my response. The core issue is not necessarily a conflict between egregores, as it might initially seem. It is crucial to remember that we are working with magical tools, which operate on a level slightly above egregores since they are shaped by entire magical systems. Each magical system, at different points in time, has been influenced by different deities—this is an important distinction. With that in mind, both Runes and Tarot function as magical systems, each deriving inspiration from distinct traditions and divine influences. Because of this, a potential for conflict exists. Tarot is fundamentally a southern system, with roots in Sumerian-Akkadian and Egyptian traditions, while Runes originate from a northern system, shaped by a different cultural and spiritual framework. However, this does not mean that they are inherently in opposition to one another. Ksenia Menshikova https://youtu.be/EltY0NOT400?si=5ycrVxssbOgZyFWV
