Not gonna lie, it was a challenging read. It took a lot of time to mentally sort through the reverse meanings, even though I ended up with a decent handle on the message.
But I wanted to cross-check it, "just to see." Just me testing my doubts, again. Silly girl! Ha...
I did a 3 card spread, no reversals, using the Morgan Greer deck. I got a succinct, clear message, very easy to read, and it was exactly the same message as the first spread.
It got me thinking.....the reversals were accurate, though cumbersome (at least partially due to the fact that I am not accustomed to using them). But I got the same message, simple and clear and not at all cumbersome, with the short spread, all upright! Both spreads even had a majority of the same suit, which was definitely significant to the question asked. In the end it made me feel like the longer spread, and the reversals even, were just giving me more "noise" than was necessary.
I have one deck that I've decided to set aside for reversal practice, so I'll keep working on my comfort level with them. I do see value there, especially for readings about complicated situations. But it was nice to see how the same idea can be accurately conveyed using a different format and no reversals at all.
I've been trying to incorporate the elemental dignities into my readings as much as possible, and to some extent numerology, which I feel has been successful, and does help highlight important areas in a spread.
Only one way to go....keep on practicing :-)
