Hello. How can there be only 54 cards? Which cards are missing? Thank you.

It is believed Tarot cards were originally used for playing card games and then later adopted for divination and fortune telling. In the rich history of cards games, many different types of decks were utilized depending on the rules of the game that was being played. Many of these decks with different configurations can also be considered Tarots and used for divination.

The Weiner Secession deck has 22 Major cards, 16 Court cards, and 16 minor cards. It is interesting to note that in the Minor cards Hearts and Diamonds are numbered 1-4, Clubs and Spades are numbered 7-10. This makes a total of 54 cards. We can presume that the Weiner Secession deck from 1906 was modelled after other decks that were used for similar games. For example, the earlier “tarot” Steinberger from 1820 also has this configuration.

This deck is between a playing card deck and a Tarot deck. However, considering that the deck has 22 Majors that follow a procession from 1 to 22 we can understand why it falls into the Tarot category.

This deck is perfect for users that want to experience a rare deck that has a unique place in the history Tarot. For divination there is not much consensus on how to read these cards. However, for users who have a connection to the deck, a direct approach, letting the artwork speak, can work well.
