Lianne posted an update in the group
Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoI am so stoked that this group exists! What do you folks think with regards to the whole right side up versus upside down thing… Do you read with cards reversed? Generally I have not gone in that direction because with my old deck I found that my reversed cards would stay that way for basically forever and it didn’t seem to have any randomness…[Read more]

Oh, whoops… Just saw way down thread that people are already talking about this… Wish we could organize this a little better so that it’s easier to see what has been posted about without so much scrolling on my little phone.

Yeah, it’s too bad there isn’t more ability to sort through old threads.
I don’t think this got mentioned in the older thread, but if you do want to read reversed cards, it helps to add reversing as an intentional step when you shuffle (like, at some point when you have the deck split, flip one half of it 180 degrees). This will keep things…[Read more]

I end up getting reversals because I have little hands and am always dropping cards when I shuffle. I decided to not be careful about putting them back in the deck right side up. So …that’s my method of getting reversals…bad shuffling.
-
That’s a good idea – to actively embrace the reversed cards, rather than thinking ‘agh no’ every time one turns up.

Hi Lianne, I don’t do reversals (yet!) so I’ve been very careful about shuffling them. Some ways I’ve seen people do who work with reversals is that they place the cards in a heap in front and they just swish them around and then when they feel it’s done they just scoop them all together.
-
That’s my favourite method of shuffling :D But I don’t do it very often..
-
I guess my problem has been that once a card is upside down, it stays upside down for a long time and it always felt like I was trying to mix them up on purpose which felt unnatural. The pile and random swooshing method might be the solution to that, though!

Hi Lianne, tarot for me personally is a way of bringing hope and optimism into my life and my friends’ lives, and so I was hesitant initially to work with inverted cards. But from the very first reading I did, I realized that an upside-down card doesn’t necessarily have to give it an opposite or negative meaning, as I had at first thought. For me,…[Read more]

I like this interpretation of the reversal! I always got too caught up in the binary-ness of using reversed cards and I felt it took away from some of the subtleties of my readings. Your method seems like it actually ads more subtlety!

I really like reading with reversed cards, but I think it depends on the deck your using, and it’s not always necessary ! There’s a really good introduction to it here: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/card-meanings/reversed/introduction.shtml
Basically it says that reversed cards don’t always have to have the opposite meaning of the card drawn. It…[Read more]
