Your Chosen Card – Ace of Patens Reversed Salem Deck
When reversed, the Ace of Pentacles (golden coins) suggests that something may have gone awry in your quest for material well-being. Perhaps you are missing a significant opportunity to improve financial security, or maybe your attitude toward wealth and prosperity needs adjusting. In the myth of King Midas, his unbridled greed for the acquisition of material goods leaves him devoid of human contact. Now may be a good time to ponder Buddhas teachings about nonattachment. Interestingly, the lilies on this card in the Llewellyn Classic Tarot resemble the lotus, a Buddhist symbol of nonattachment; the lotus has the ability to rise above the mire of the swamp and produce an object of beauty.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: An alternate method for calculating birth cards also appears in the literature. Unlike Mary Greers method, this alternate technique involves simply adding together all the single digits in your birth date rather than adding the day plus the month plus the year.
Complete Book of Tarot: If you decide to use reversed cards in your readings, you may find this method useful. Because inverted cards catch your attention as they stand out from the other cards in any spread, you can read the reversed cards as if they were trying to give you a special message. Simply read the inverted cards in any tarot spread in sequence while ignoring all the upright cards. Assume that the inverted cards are trying to highlight an important issue that you need to become more aware of.

Tarot Triumphs: Shuffle the cards thoroughly, making sure that they are all the right way up and that they are facedown during the shuffling. Spread them out either in your hands or on a convenient surface, and ask the querent to pick out three cards. He or she should hand each one to you as it is chosen. Neither of you should look at the cards until all three have been selected. Then you, as the reader, should turn the cards over and let them be seen. For this form of Tarot reading, the order they are drawn in doesn’t matter.
