The dark hair/light hair dynamics aren't always literal. Blonde hair represents a *younger* person, more capricious or reckless; and dark hair is representative of *older* people, wiser people... which is how come you're the king of clubs: not because you're older, but because you are very wise! There you go, shiny apple for teacher :D Wonderful video as always!

Can you read reversed cards with this system or is the energy inherent in the specific card meaning? (Many pip cards are naturally one way and the others could be subtly marked with a dot at one end of the face.)

I'm very new to all of the cards systems (I've started with tarot, looking into lenormand and am considering cartomancy - but I need to learn more about it), and I'm wondering if cartomancy can only be used as a form of divination? I'm not interested in divination or magical stuff, I'm just interested in how the cards can inspire self-development. Tarot is more about the 'psychological/spiritual' side of things, and I've learnt that lenormand is more into 'how to do things.' So is cartomancy only a form of divination, or can it be used as a form of self-development?
