I’ve often read about reversals as being a sign of energy that is blocked or perverted in some way, but from a video by Kelly-Ann Maddox on the Hermit card, I’ve reckoned a better way of thinking of reversed card meanings: they are shadows,
Positionally, this makes sense. If you imagine a figure from a tarot card standing upright with a source of light behind it, a shadow cast would be in reverse from the perspective of the reader.
