1. There's only a few spreads shown
2. Other people have mentioned something about different meanings if the cards are reversed? This isn't covered.
3. As a complete beginner in this fascinating allied art, I have NO experience of any sort of reading, other than so called psychic radio readings. Mr Hart gives you a few tips on setting the atmosphere, ie, a darkened room with candles, but doesn't really give you a suggested 'script' as it were, as to what to say, although he does tell you what to avoid saying, so you don't make any Tarot 'etiquette' gaffs.

I am not saying that you couldn't use Black Hart's system with them- I am sure you could. However, if I encountered someone using this deck, I would know in a matter of minutes if they knew the esoterics of the symbology or not. But, not to worry- The average layman won't notice. Be that as it may though, I would suggest sticking with Rider Waite, Marsellis, and cards that don't rely on esoteric imagry unless you are familiar with them. You never really know who you are reading for if they are strangers and you would look rather silly being asked which planet corresponds to a given Hebrew letter and which god-form rules over it if you give the wrong answers.

It's always nice to converse with someone who obviously has a deep affection for the cards. Good to have you around.

I never make any differentiation with 'reversed cards'. Perhaps therefore I should mention this in the book and I will incorporate a paragraph dealing with this in the next update.

All my friends are men's men who enjoy a pint down the local, and would probably punch me if I pulled my Tarot cards on them and asked if anyone wanted a reading...anyone got any ideas?
