I have a question about tarot cards?
Hello Sana





How many card that are turned are down to individual, some prefer a few some a quarter or even half the deck. You do not choose which card you reverse. Reversing can be done many ways, divide deck into 3 piles, face down, reverse one %26amp; resume shuffling. You can also turn random cards as you shuffle. %26amp; many other ways!





Some none at all.





Reversing the cards is best done once you have fully studied the upright, %26amp; like said not a neccesity to proficient tarot reading.





If you wish to work clairvoyantly with the tarot then reversed will be of no importance.





I teach the tarot %26amp; run a course, so you can come %26amp; visit us %26amp; practice the tarot as well as ask questions at our yahoo group if you wish ~ Holistic Paths to Wisdom. You will be welcome.

Reply:Did it come w/ a book? I'd do a google search for reading tarot. Here is a link to do a free tarot reading online. You can see how they read the reverse cards.





I suggest getting a book on reading tarot cards if you don't have one.

Reply:The shuffling and mixing should result in some of the cards being turned up reversed. I don't know of a ritual that would have you specifically reverse part of the deck.





The trick to tarot is the same as the trick to any other communication with the supernatural (prayer, divination, ouija, seance, whatever). You need to take it seriously enough that it works and you need to not take it so seriously that it takes over. Ultimately what you are trying to do is connect not with the spiritual realm (whatever that is) but with your own subconcious.
Reply:I dont read in reverse .. but that is just my personal choice


I believe that there are more than enough cards in a deck to cover all angles


so my advice


do whatever feels right to you
Reply:It is a deck of cards,nothing more.No magic.
Reply:different readers see this different ways.





Some say that each Tarot card has its opposite in the deck( not some special deck), so you use those.





Others dispute this, and say that to indicate a negative, a card is upside down. But you don't have to turn any cards in a different direction to do this. Shuffling the cards usually takes care of this.
Reply:get a good book and read the instructions


It's just a tool for looking within yourself or into the person you are reading. The cards themselves have no power. It's just a bunch of symbols that help you focus your natural intuition. If it's upsidedown then you read the opposite or reverse of the usual interpretation. IE the opposite of death would be life or whatever. That's a bit simplistic, but you get the idea. Cards usually come with a book that give you the regular interpretation and the reversal interpretation. Good luck.
Reply:Australian shuffle will mix the cards in both orientations.

Reply:In my experience, a reversed card coming up in a reading mitigates, inverts or modifies the face meaning of the card. (i.e., The Tower reversed is less catastrophic than the Tower upright, or the 5 of swords upright is a plot or betrayal, while the 5 of swords reversed is the plot revealed. It has been years since I read these, so please forgive interpretive errors). If someone is reading for someone else, often times the reader will turn the deck so that it faces with the proper orientation for the one being read for to determine which cards are upright (rightside up for one being read for) and reversed (inverted for the one being read for). To the reader, this will be opposite but it is meant for the one being read for to see the cards properly from his or her perspective.
Reply:Not all readers use reversed cards, it is a matter of personal preference. I use reversals in readings most of the time, but sometimes I don't feel that I need too. Then there are some decks that I have that I don't use reversals at all. Tarot is all about doing what feels right and is comfortable to you.


When one first gets a deck, the cards are in order and all upright. When you shuffle them they should remain all facing the same direction unless you take one hand with half the deck and turn it. When I read with reversals, I will shuffle a couple times and then the next shuffle, I turn the stack, shuffle a few times more and turn half. I have noticed that some people who have trouble shuffling will set down the two stacks and pick them back up in a way that they are holding the cards differently, this causes an unintentional turning of the cards. Shuffling in a manner to keep all cards upright might take practice if shuffling is difficult.


When using reversals and reading them in a spread, I generally take the meaning of the card and then apply the 'opposite' - a happy card becomes on of sorrow. Reversed cards suggests a lacking (lacking happiness), ignoring (ignoring the surrounding happiness), the inability (inability to be happy), disadvantages etc.


Think of things that are positive, this is upright,


think of things that are negative, this is reversed.





happy-sad


gained-lost


strong-weak


motivated-lazy


too much-not enough


like-dislike





hope this helps
