OK, I really should not be writing this nor should I be thinking this since I really am on an IDS with another deck. But once a thought get stuck...Well you know how its like. ^^ SIGH
I recieved the BG as a late birthday gift from my mother and just had a brief lookthrough of deck and cards. And as I suspected : I love it! I hoe I will love to read with it too eventually. What I love most about the book is that it adresses a ligher/"normal" version of meaning as well as a darker mor shadow verion of meanings. In short, upright and reversed cards. And if any deck would benefit from using reversals I think it would be this one. But here comes my problem:
I would love to use reversals for the shadow meanings, due to the very fine connections to the deck as a whole. But I feel that if you turn these cards upside down much of its power of dark scenery is lost. So it is really a catch 22 - whatever I choose I loose something. Either I have to skip using reversals althogether or break the flow of the imagery.... Anyone else having any creative ideas on how to solve this so I can get some peace of mind and get back to my beloved IDS ? :-D
