Contra-positive Cards ~ A New Technique From James Ricklef

“Contra-positive” is a phrase coined by James Ricklef for a new reading technique, one which is, in my opinion, simply brilliant.  I’ve been working with it and find that it is a very effective technique. He explains that it is:

…a new way to find solutions for problems indicated by the “problem” cards among the 40 “numbered” cards in the Minor Arcana.  James Ricklef

He has elaborated on this method in three more subsequent posts to date.  These four posts can be found on his blog at the following links:

It is always difficult as a reader to get these “problem” cards in a reading.  We now have an excellent technique for offering our clients, or ourselves, some really helpful advice when these cards appear.
