One of the primary difficulties in reading Tarot cards is what to do with cards that come up reversed or inverted. Some people simply right the cards and ignore reversals. One of the great contemporary writers on Tarot, Mary K. Greer, has an entire book, The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals, that is exclusively on this subject.

Please note though, that these meanings are meant as a guideline. Tarot meanings are not set in stone; not even ours! They are meant to make you think and guide you in the right direction. For most cards you will probably (hopefully!) feel that our meanings are right, but if a particular card calls to you in a different way then don't be afraid to go with your intuition. Time will tell if you're right or not. The faces of the major arcana have ‘masks’, or lines breaking them up into sections: “The mask is merely representation of a ‘human’ relation, similar to that of the mythical gods who stand in human form amongst us to ease our comprehension of the messages they deliver.” I liked the Lovers -the upright end is a spiritual-appearing pair of lovers touching hands, overseen by a white-winged angel. The reversed end has a more sexual couple in an embrace with a red-clad, more reptilian looking angel overhead. And Death, with the multi-armed Hindu goddess Kali at the top, and a baby ‘amongst the bloody tendrils’ representing rebirth at the base.

I found this incredibly cool (but then, I am also contemplating putting theater masks on my living room wall!)! Wong did the Major Arcana in a style that he terms similar to stained glass, with each image representing a lesson to be learned, a being to be studied, or a situation. The mask acts to bring in the "human" element. Wong sees the Minor Arcana as "lesser" versions of the lessons from the Major Arcana. Whether you're new to divination or an experienced professional, working with reversed Tarot cards is always a challenge. After all, the image is upside-down and everything appears, well, reversed. How can you possibly work with such inverted symbols?

The Major Arcana cards have two other features, beside their 2-way art, that is fascinating. First, there is a quality of stained glass in all the cards. Second, all of the characters are wearing masks. This, according to Wong, shows them to be similar to "that of the mythical gods who stand in human form amongst us to ease our comprehension of the messages they deliver." A fascinating idea, but it’s important that you understand this from reading the book because I’m not sure that the art, which has a sort of manga feel to it, really shows that this is a mask and not just an odd-looking person. Wong's companion book contains a description of the characteristics of both the upright and the reversed figure of the Major Arcana, plus an explanation of some of the images and symbolism. The same sections apply to the Minor Arcana cards, but here the "characters" themselves are not defined. Rather, Wong mostly gives a meaning for the card. Frankly, I find many of his meanings for upright cards not that different, i.e., The Fool symbolizes "the free spirit within," while The High Priestess represents "the voice inside us that calls us to heed our intuition."You may need to sign a claim statement or affidavit issued by the carrier (e.g., the US Post Office, UPS, etc.) and return it to us by the requested date.

The artwork may not be to your liking, but for its ability to help you learn about and implement reversed cards in your readings, it’s indispensable. A card falling in a reversed position will read more fluidly than the sometimes jarring vision of an upside down card in the middle of a tarot spread. The Shamans, who traverse the axis mundi, through the many spirit worlds, whose minds are light as a feather upon a divine wind, who direct that wind to go where the shaman wills it to go, a shape-shifter of realities, These cards, with their stained glass imagery, match the traditional RWS interpretations. Wong, however, has added his own twists that energize and add additional meaning to the RWS concepts. You can bring these additional insights into your divinations with any Tarot. Does it have extra cards?: Yes, it has two cards, each with a brief version of a Tarot spread, The Horoscope Spread and The Seven Days Spread The artwork of the Revelations Tarot is a sort of cross between pseudo-art nouveau and stained glass and the effect works. Each card also has a reverse image, not a mere mirror image, but a separate picture interwoven to display a different interpretation.The Philosophers, the scholars of reason and illuminated knowledge, who achieve mastery over numbers, forms, and cosmology, of rhetoric and sciencia, the ones who are the thought leaders of our times, keepers of the Classics, The Spellcasters, road openers who clear obstacles and channel in new opportunities.
