[edit] Description
Like the author's famous Learning the Tarot, Learning Tarot Reversals is a very structured lesson plan (complete with quizzes and exercises) which covers the use of reversals in readings. Bunning uses reversals to explore what she sees as the "cycles of energy" within each card. And as with her prior book, the emphasis is on meanings/keywords that can be memorized, although she does leave room for developing one's own.
[edit] Author's comments
In Learning Tarot Reversals, I describe how tarot cards are symbols of energies in your life. Upright cards show strong energies, reversed cards show those that are weak or undeveloped. The way a card faces tells you about its strength and impact.
The book is divided into two parts:
Part 1 = Eight lessons with exercises
Lesson 1 - Energy and the Tarot Lesson 2 - The Energy Cycle and Orientation Lesson 3 - Energy Phases Lesson 4 - Repeating Cycles Lesson 5 - Mismatches Lesson 6 - Opposing Energy Pairs Lesson 7 - Energy Groups Lesson 8 -Interpretation Strategy
Part 2 = Reversed Card Descriptions (see sample page)
Learning Tarot Reversals can be read by itself, but it also extends the lessons in my first book Learning the Tarot. If you're a tarot beginner, I recommend starting with Learning the Tarot (or my on-line course). Once you know the basics, Learning Tarot Reversals will be a natural next-step in your studies.
If you have tarot experience, Learning Tarot Reversals will give you some new ideas to consider. You should be able to understand and adapt the ideas in this book to your own methods.
