How many cards are there in a tarot deck?
According to the A.T.A. (the American Tarot Association) there are exactly 78 cards in a tarot deck, no more, and no less. If you have a deck with more or less than 78 cards then you are not using a ‘tarot’ deck but something else. You need to ‘adjust’ your deck to where it has 78 cards in order to meet the criteria of having a valid tarot deck.
