It's about time.

These pesky upside down cards have bugged me since the early sixties when I started reading cards. It never seemed comfortable to me that they were not, somehow, fully present, yet were throwing information at me.

Yet, I could never get to the point so many happy new-age readers got to of simply turning them over to become somehow, magically, right side up. No. That didn't work for me. It was like putting a clown suit on a killer and calling him an entertainer. Nope. Not workin' for me.

Some time after I created this deck I came to understand, for myself, that the energy of these up-side-down cards was somehow unavailable. There. Present. Just not able to be grasped.

So why was I using them for readings? I don't want to work with what I can't grasp. I want to work with what is there. So I discovered that by insisting on having right-side-up cards be present for a reading, the up-side-down cards began to make more sense. Sometimes they stand (or have been standing) in the way of that which is available; sometimes they are calling out but unheard.

So now you may see more than the usual amount of cards in a reading because it only seems fair that you see what I am seeing because, who knows, maybe you will see something different there.

Today, my mother's 88th birthday, marks at least two new beginnings for me and the day is not over. I wish you, both in general and based on the cards presented, at least one new beginning and the joy of having no idea what that may mean to you.
