@kara_dreamer@witches.town for me it absolutely depends on the deck. decks that adhere closely to Rider-Waite are usually good with reversed meanings; the deck I use now, Silicon Dawn, seems to laugh at orientation. I could *not* figure out why I had two 6 of pentacles the other day until I realized I had one 6 and one 9 and the 9 is deliberately orientation-skewed!
@kara_dreamer@witches.town one person I did readings for with a R-W deck complained that her readings were always weird and incomprehensible. after I laid out the cards, I suddenly realized the problem was that they were ALL upside-down. I swapped places with her, and was able to do a perfectly comprehensible, useful reading! this happened three times with this same person!
