Hi, I am new to tarot. I know about reversals but I didn't realize that some people do not read reversals. What are your feelings on that? Do you read reversals or specifically do not? I feel reversals are a normal part of Tarot but I have not yet shuffled my deck to allow for that.
Thanks!
I used reversals in my first couple of years, but I reached a point where I knew what my decks were trying to tell me without needing "clues" like reversals, so they were a waste of time. They were very useful when I was learning.
Also, cards are harder to recognise quickly, upside-down.
Also, putting a deck away with some of its cards reversed feels *wrong* to me.
Use reversals only for as long as you need to: when you grow beyond needing them, leave them behind.
