I know that some do and some say that the other cards do their job.

Do you use the reverse cards?

With RWS sometimes i do read Rx though i usually get what cards are ill dignified without them physically being reversed; with Thoth and TdM - i don't read reversals at all. Works for me

No - unless I am required to by an exercise here. I read by what I see, literally.

I do; I have ever since dealing one CC that I couldn't make heads nor tails of. Then after a long time I physically reversed one card (the Ace of Swords iirc) and suddenly made sense of it all.
It's really a matter of personal preference, I'd bet it's split pretty close to 50/50 in the tarot world. The one thing I would say is that beginners should avoid reversals at least until they know the upright cards very well.

No, I don't read with reversals.
Well . . . with rare exceptions. Sometimes, a card turns up upside down, and I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach that it "means something" . . . but I never use reversals on purpose.

Yeah. I figured until I have more experience and know the cards better I should probably stay with them at upright then see how I feel.
Thanks canid that was helpful. I was trying to find a thread on this. Guess I didn't look hard enough.....

I don't read with upside down cards but I do always take into account a card's whole range of meanings during a reading and so sometimes I will read an upright card 'reversed' - the spread position, the other cards and how the card fits with the 'story' of the reading tells me how to read it.
So technically I don't read with reversed cards but in reality I often use 'reversed' meanings.

I don't use Reversals. I'm nowhere near experienced enough or used to my deck yet, so I'm staying away from them. Just to keep things a bit simple, I may always stay with upright, though.

I use reversals but the way I use them is as a different perspective. I see the reversals in a couple ways and use my intuition as to how I read it. Kind of like the hanged man hanging upside down in what I often feel is to look at things from new perspectives I feel if it is reversed it is asking for a deeper look or an area that needs to be paid attention to, not as a negative but as a "hey this is important keep this in mind". The other way I often see them is as a delay to the next card. Like I might get a past, present future reading or often if the reading is moving from one phase to another and I get a reversal I often get the intuition that this is what is coming but it is being held up or delayed.
I don't read them negative or opposites of the meanings since there are "negative" per se cards in the deck as it is. That is just how I do it but I think the reading will be accurate based on what the readers intuitions and thoughts are.)
