Some meditations on connections between these divinatory techniques. I know there are various correlations out there (in the Handle Tarot and in a couple of Rune books), but I haven't been able to follow rhyme or reason in the correlations others have put out. Mine fits reasonably well for the most part. The correlations are based on surface meanings rather than any underlying connections (i.e. connections between the Hebrew and Runic alphabet systems). This is somewhat of a second or third draft:
