Reversal

A card drawn upside down — an emphasis, not a punishment.

A reversed card is the same card, read with the volume turned toward its shadow: blocked, internalized, delayed, or released. The Tower reversed is not "no disaster" — it is "the disaster you can still choose the timing of."

In Soulolo's ritual, a reversed card simply turns; the reading names it and carries on. Reversals are weather, not verdicts.
