So I just baught my first deck "The Rider" and a book called "The tarot:History,Symbolism,and Divination" by Robert M. Place and I have a very simple and basic question: In order to get a proper reading do all the cards have to be pointed upright and if they do turn out to be downward then what do you do?

Here are two more books I can thoroughly recommend for anyone wanting to learn the Tarot:

The Complete Book Of Tarot Reversals, by Mary K. Greer- gives a comprehensive guide to card meanings, both upright and reversed, and is illustrated with the RWS deck.

78 degrees of Wisdom, by Rachel Pollack- looks more into the esoteric imagery and meanings behind the cards, and how they effect the card interpretations.

Good luck in your studies! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
