I'm about to show my ignorance here - but what is a reverse card? What are the instances when that would occur?

From context clues I'd guessed a reverse card was when you simply shuffled the deck and one card came up upside down.

I may be waaaay off.

Enlighten me please

If you guys are novices I guess that makes me an embryo lol

I still haven't bought my first deck yet but I love reading up about this in the meantime.

A reverse card IS upside down. I had to look it up when I first heard it also. You were correct!

I am curious to find out how others feel about the different options in reading the tarot.

I guess I would be called a beginner and I know I have so much to learn but I am confused as to how many people that read tarot cards include reversed card. I have been told not to attempt a reading with reversed cards and vica versa....

I do not remove the death card as I have been told that it amounts to not playing with a full deck.

I have not included reversed cards in my readings as reversing meanings is proving to difficult.

Is this something that comes with time and practice or is there reasons to have or not have them......????

Any thoughts

i am a beginner too. i've been reading for about a year. i read the reverse sometimes because it stricks me at the moment to do so. it is believed that beginners don't need ot worry about reading reverse until they are really comfortable with the basic meaning of the cards. also that the meanings you get with the reverse can be covered with other cards and such bascily you have all the meanings you need without reading the reverse cards.
mostly before you begin reading the cards, know in your mind and heart that you are not going to read reverse and the cards will fall in the way that your intution will tell you about the querent (the person your reading for) and you will not need to read reverse.
you can go your own life without using reverse cards if you choose to!

hope this helps!

Hi
Mary K Greer wrote a great book based totally on reversed cards, I would recommend it if anyones looking to go alittle further.

I dislike using reversed cards because I find it more difficult to do readings and I like positive reading.

Death is goes hand in hand with life so I would not remove that card out.

I do not use reversed cards as I feel within myself when a card is showing its true meaning or not; see the card and absorb it before the spoken word commences. In other words I feel that to see a card as is, is a fault for the cards combine in so many ways and we shall never know the true combination of whats being shown. We are only human after all.
