I always use them.
I learned tarot reading reversals and I just can't get past the whole "there are 78 MORE cards" if you use them. LOL Sounds crazy, right? Well, I am crazy... so there
To answer Moongold's question: With a new (in order) deck I shuffle the cards about 10 - 15 times then I flip half the deck over and shuffle them again. Then I'll take the deck and cut it, taking a small handful and twisting it, leaving another upright, twisting again, upright again... you get the picture. Then I shuffle some more. That's all before I even ask a question! LOL Then I'll ground, ask my question and shuffle another 3-9 times, cut the deck in half (placing the bottom half on top) and then lay out the cards.
Gosh, that sounds so complicated when I type it all up!
