Reading reversed cards is something that you CAN do with the Wildwood Tarot, but you don’t HAVE to do it.
I find reversals useful in that they draw attention to specific cards in your spread. If one or two are wrong-sides up, then maybe you want to think about what that might mean. Although if the cards in your spread are all upside down – maybe you’ve just picked your deck up the wrong way! If that happens, just turn all the cards rightsides up again.
A reversed card doesn’t have to be complicated. In her book Choice Centred Tarot, Gail Fairfield suggests that reversed cards indicate interior considerations rather than overt activity in the outside world.
As an example – The Ace of Vessels might indicate a new relationship, available for the world to see. However, a reversed Ace of Vessels could indicate a love in your heart that hasn’t been externalised or communicated to anyone yet.
I think that this way of using reversed Tarot cards is very useful.
What do you think? Something that could enhance your own Wildwood Tarot work?
