Reversed Cards: I like to think of the Ten of Swords in the shadow aspect as the ‘death of the ego’ card, the end of the constant chatter of the monkey mind as one is finally liberated into a more enlightened state. This, however, can be scary. Who are we when the ego-self is no longer in charge of telling us who we are? If this card has come up in a reading, it is time to think about how much the ego has defined who you are and what you have become. Perhaps even do some journal work about the you that could be created once the ego stops labeling you and making you fit into an uncomfortable box.
Complete Book of Tarot: The discussions of the individual cards begin with the canonical divinatory meanings recorded by Etteilla in the eighteenth century and proceed to review how tarot giants such as Mathers in the nineteenth century and Waite and Crowley in the twentieth century conceptualized the same cards. In this way, the reader can get a sense of the historical development of the ideas linked to each card. There is also a listing of keywords for the potentially positive (+) and negative (-) uses of the energy embodied in each card. Finally, there is a brief delineation of the upright and reversed positions of the cards; these should not be regarded as mutually exclusive but rather as obverse sides of the same coin. Ultimately, you need to develop your own understanding of each card, regardless of what so-called ‘experts’ think the card means.
