Many people think that when over half the cards laid down in a spread are reversed the deck, the reading should be stopped because the deck is actually reversed.

My question is... to those of you that purposely create reversals when do you know if your deck is the right way up or not?

Do you think it is upright if more than half of the cards are upright?
Do you ever check?
Or do you just pick up the deck and shuffle and draw without checking the percentage of reversals?

Would you ever stop a reading because there were too many reversals?

Thats a really interesting question,
I use the cards to tell a story and so it matters not to me what way the cards are as its just a tool to sharpen my other senses.

I have come across people who cut the deck into three and they deliberately turn one of the groups (cuts) upside down and mix the three cuts together hence creating a good number of reversed cards.

I do not do any of these. I do not even make havoc with the cards on the floor in order to intentionally create reversals. When I shuffle the deck I make sure I am shuffling the deck being in an upright position. But, IF and WHEN I get reversals, then I pay a lot more attention to that crad than otherwise if I had intentionally doctored and created reversals manually.

Yes, I have also seen readers who would stop reading if a good proportion of the cards were reversed e.g. in a Celtric Cross type of spread, if out of the 10 cards, five were reversed.

I guess that making cards intentionally reversed by shuffling the deck accordingly is in a way forcing the deck to behave so. I never focus on shuffling the decks any special way just to get reversals especially. I leave it upto the cards. And if reversals come in a reading, I do pay them attention.

My thoughts exactly.
