Tarot To reverse or not to reverse
by HH
Originally by Celeste:- I do not use reversals either, the main reason is, as i am new to tarot ( about a year now),[/quote] Hello everyone
I began my tarot study using reversals as that seemed:- to be customary and standard
It wasn't until nearly a year into my study that I arbitrary ceased to consider reverals, and only then as I started to see them as restrictive and exclusionary, while my burgeoning sense of the tarot was expansives and inclusive
i am still understanding the cards, their meanings and how they [b]relate to each other[/b] in a spread,[/quote] Emphasis added: the way the cards influence one another, for me, is where the myriad meaning of the cards comes into play, not in their orientation
In my tarot system the cards have a vast range of DM's, beginning with neutral and branching in every direction from there
As with so much in life we each need to find our comfort level and begin from there to explore and expand
Reversals in tarot and how to interpret those reversals in, and will be for the foreseeable future, an encompassing part of the tarot experience
I remind myself that a card that is reversed from my perspective it is right side up from someone sitting on the other side of the table
Being consistent, in my experience, is as important as whether we reverse or not
It's in the cards and maybe in their orientation! HH [b]Edited[/b] for typos
