Oh, well that's specific to you, thanks for clarifying that it wasn't part of the system.
you can call the cards whatever you want. you can call daath whatever you want. if you learn anything on aeclectic, you will call it whatever you want.
Except I didn't learn it from Aeclectic, that's been my approach forever. In fact, I find Aeclectic to be fairly rigid about such things, particularly in the so-called "history" clique.
i think we should look at meanings for the cards that do not specify between reversed and upright. then we can get an idea as to the possibilities of reading in greater detail.
I never separate reversals, or use reversed cards, I find that limiting.
we need to find major equivalents in the minors, get a good synopsis of the cards that do not specify reversed and upright
Why the need to correlate the Majors to the minors? The minors are rich in their own story, why not simply use the story that's there? It's a different system, why try to fit 52 cards into 78? Sorry, it seems to complicate and confuse the system.
I use the reversal meaning in the general description of the card; I don't differentiate, it depends on the surrounding cards and the archetype automatically specifies the shadow side without turning the card upside down.
and get a more temporal/physical veiw of the cards less an emotional one.
You are dealing with life and humanity, emotions are part of life and situations. The cards are sometimes related to emotions and sometimes not, and sometimes they point to an almagamation of both physical and emotional. I don't see how you can lessen emotions. If that shows up, that shows up, you can't exclude emotion from the mix.
That's just me though, and that's my approach. I don't like to segregate and classify with bias before I even draw a card.
I think people make up their own systems with what works for them. Your approach makes no sense to me, which doesn't mean it's wrong, it means it's right for YOU. And since it's not right for me, I'll quit bugging you and asking annoying questions. ;-0))
I do appreciate the clarification though, particularly since you are rushed when on a computer. Now that must *really* bug you.
