For the purposes of this spread, I have correlated the nine worlds of Northern Mythology to the
nine-fold division of the psycho/somatic complex as stated by Carl Gustav Jung, probably the most spiritual advanced
psychiatrist of this century.
This system is more complicated and requires some study of the Norse Myths as well getting familiar with the theories
of Jung. However, doing a reading in this format can deliver a wealth of useful data, on all levels of being. Indeed,
a whole reading can be devoted to a particular level. For instance, the level of the soul, or the level of the
personality, or spiritual levels of a higher order; thus, a very thorough consultation might involve three readings
of nine runes each. All of these will overlap at some point, but the approach is generally useful.
One can narrow things down and fine tune a reading by means of follow-up readings – looking at the previous reading
information from a different perspective. For example, if a psychological reading gives certain data which suggest a
need for further enquiry one can then use the same nine-fold cloth but this time from the perspective of the soul.
The third type of
reading is purely for those people who accept the reality of gods and goddesses, never mind in what form; so a
consultation with the god or goddess directly can be obtained through the mediation of the runes and the reader, if
at all sympathetic toward the idea of ‘the Gods'. I will offer my opinion as to what god/dess go with what square,
but from here those people who want to take things further should seek a religious commitment to these gods, before
proceeding. Information as to how is offered in the appendix of "Northern Mysteries and Magick".
