    So yeah – reversed cards? What’s your approach?

    • I don’t use reversed cards because I don’t really understand them. They also add a layer of anxiety for me because I see them as always being negative. I never want to add something negative or chaotic to a reading.

    Mary L, please tell me you use the Mary-el Tarot??
