Dealing with Reversed cards in a deck

I've come up with a new idea of dealing with reversed cards in a deck.
I posted about this before to ask you guys about it, as I noticed that after a while you got more and more reversed cards in a deck, and I don't like that.
I then swapped to PiscesMoon's way of going through a deck before asking a question and turning around a number of cards intuitively, by which some will end up reversed, and others may be turned upright again.
That felt better but still didn't sit well with me.

Now, with my new deck Wild Wisdom of the Faeries, I chose to reverse a few cards. Not many, just a few.
If I draw a reversed card, I put it back in the deck upright and reverse another card in its stead. Without looking of course.
This method is the first that really feels good to me
It means a card won't remain reversed forever, and I don't end up with a large number of reversed cards in a deck.

I thought that you were going to say put them through the paper shredder!

After I shuffle I split the deck and then drop the cards to be reversed, before putting them back into the middle of the deck. So I shuffle three times before I cut the deck, which I do three times, before the final cut and then dealing the cards out :)

That would be an option, albeit a bit expensive, hahaha.
THanks for your feedback!

Hi
You could use elemental dignities instead of reversals.

Thank you for the feedback!
I will check it out, although I never use reversed cards in Tarot.

It certainly could be!

I forgot to also mention that on average I reverse just under half of the cards, before I split the deck and then deal them out :)
