The Topsy-Turvy World of Upside-Down Cards Tarot Reversals is the first book to fully and exclusively address a vitally important area of Tarot reading that is virtually ignored—interpretation of the cards that appear upside-down in a spread. The explanations given in books for reversed cards are rarely more than a few lines, yet, in the average spread, half of the cards will be inverted. Many books do not even give reversed meanings. Others unquestioningly parrot “traditional” inter- pretations that simply state the opposite of upright meanings, but usually more fatalistically, emphasizing negative attributes. Thus, at least half of the average Tarot reading is poorly understood, inadequately interpreted, and, by dint of a preponderence of negative interpretations, emphasizes problems rather than opportunities. It’s no wonder people avoid them. This book offers readers at all levels eleven different methods of deter- mining reversed card meanings. The majority of the text consists of sam- ple interpretations for each of the seventy-eight reversed cards in each of the methods, including traditional meanings. Discover which approaches work best with your own Tarot reading style and worldview. In addition to applying the interpretive text immediately, learning the conceptual theory behind each option will enhance and deepen your Tarot consultations. —Mary Greer About the Author Mary Greer is an author and teacher specializing in methods of self- exploration and transformation.
