The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

Today’s cards: Queen of Cups “The Guardian”, The Chariot (reversed), & King of Wands “The Gentry” (reversed).

This isn’t an alternative. It’s a statement. You see yourself as warm and welcome and loving and accepting, but your actions declare you are cold and closed and brutal and rejecting. The difference is the point of perspective. I’m not telling you that you have to yield “rule of self” to others. I’m telling you to respect other’s “rule of self”. You will not always have the means to brutalize others, and payback is a bitch.
