TAROT - REVERSAL OF CARDS

The following is opinion only.

Reversal of Cards is one of the, if not the biggest debate about Tarot Cards. Does a card being reversed automatically mean that a good card is now bad and a bad card is now good? Does it mean that the flow of energy coming from the cards is blocked and will no longer be able to finish, or that the energy flow is now less then what it was? Or are the cards reversed because that is the way cards are shuffled, and picked up. Regardless of what you believe it is better to be informed.

All of these questions come down to a couple of things. It depends on the type of deck you are using and if that particular deck gives you a meaning for the card if it is reversed. It also depends on the reader; there are some who use decks that do not have a reversal meaning yet the reader will interpret the card if it reversed.

I personally do not use the reversal in my readings. I believe the cards are able to tell me, and the seeker, what we need to know without having to interpret a card that is reversed, and possibly scare someone. I believe there are enough cards in a Tarot deck already so whatever needs to be said will be said. It is up to you if you do decide to use card reversal during a reading.

To illustrate we will use the death card (as it seems to be a favorite). The death card symbolizes change, the end of something. If you go with a reversal then this would be saying you are at a stand still and you are not going to finish what it is you are trying to finish. This would be ok, except in the Tarot deck there are already cards that are able to tell you that you are at a stand still, I believe a card does not need to be reversed to bring that to light.

If you do want to use reversal just remember you just now doubled the deck you are working with. If you are unsure about reversals the best advice I can give you would be to work without them and let the meanings be just that.

I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude for your willingness to share your time with me. Thank You.
