Tarot in Reverse: Making Sense of the Upside Down Cards in a Tarot Spread [Paperback]

Janet Boyer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 28, 2012

Written in a fun, accessible style, Tarot in Reverse is the only "quick guide" reference to reading upside-down cards. Full-color, glossy pages feature both the upright and reversed images of all 78 Tarot cards from the Universal Waite Tarot.

There are only two other books on the market dedicated to Tarot reversals--both heavy on theory, with minimal or no keywords. Tarot in Reverse, however, is the first book that provides extensive keywords and phrases for reversed meanings, as well as modern anecdotal examples for each card.

• The definitive book on Tarot reversals
• No complex psychological methodology; just hundreds of reversed keywords and phrases, with contemporary anecdotes for each card
• 1,650 card-specific affirmations for dealing with life's reversals

Interpreting reversed cards is one of the major obstacles for both beginner and seasoned Tarot readers. With its "at a glance" keyword list, Tarot in Reverse equips readers to interpret reversals immediately, boosting confidence and expanding personal card associations. Fiction writers can also use this book for generating plot ideas and creating character sketches.
