1. You shouldn't have any trouble giving readings that are just as accurate as if you have a full deck.
2. You could give readings using only the Major Arcana, and leave the Minor Arcana out. It might be a better way to do things with the tools that you have.
3. anyone who thinks the tarot is real is already short a few cards
4. Shouldn't you already know that if you are giving readings? Don't they have a "how to" book for tarot reading ? How did you learn in the first place and didn't they tell you about that when you were learning? I don't mean for these questions to sound offensive if they do, I am just inquisitive..Thanks :)
5. Wouldn't that be like playing solitaire with a deck of 51 ?
6. The accuracy is in the reader, not the cards.
7. No, you need the entire deck. You could give readings with just the Major Arcana, but I don't do that myself. Doesn't work well for me. I like readings using all the cards.
8. Not playing with a full deck, are you? I can't see how you could take a reading seriously if three cards were missing. I've had it happen that a card was accidentally left behind in the box, and I always start over and do a completely new reading when I discover this.
9. I'm sure your reading will be PRECISELY as accurate as it would be if you had the cards (or if you used random business cards instead). I'm not saying that Tarot can't be a good system of knowledge; just that's it's based on human interpretation of what you see, so you can literally use anything (I mean, ever hear of tea leaf reading?). There is nothing inherent in the cards that makes the system accurate.
10. Hello You will be unable to give guidance without a full deck - although you can still use the Majors alone if you wish. Sadhara
