None of them are accurate in the slightest. It is all imaginary.
It is an accurate reproduction of the Rider Waite Tarot Deck.
They are useful for many thing. Telling the future is not one of them.
good as the reader
Considering the Golden Dawn practically invented Tarot divination, I would say that is a good choice. Either that or the Golden Dawn Tarot.
As accurate as any deck of Tarot cards….which is to say, not at all.
choose your delusion, reverand.
The Rider Waite is a good starter deck, and it is as accurate as any other deck. Accuracy also depends on the reader.
It’s as accurate as the Ouija board or reading tea leaves or the entrails of dead birds.
The many different tarot decks based upon the Rider Waite deck will all portray symbolic imagery which must then pass through your psychic senses and, given the context of the questions asked, bring forth a tarot card meaning that significantly answers your question.
If you are using Tarot cards as an oracle, you may be more inclined to read card meanings and spreads. But if using Tarot Cards as a tool for Psychic Ability you would be less likely to hold to any hard and fast guide lines. I’m a profession psychic and use Tarot Cards in a random way. In 25 years of professional readings I’ve never used any ‘meanings, spreads or reversals’ of tarot cards from any books.
So if you want to develop ‘Psychic Ability’ throw the books and guidelines away and let the images inspire you. But you may need to try the Rider Waite or another imaged deck.
I believe we are all psychic, but for the majority the gift or the belief has been long knocked out of them. Educated out is another way of looking at it. Many professional psychics have grown up in a psychic friendly environment. Perhaps a grand-parent or parent with the knowledge has helped bring the extra sense out in the open and encouraged its use. But there are as many practicing psychics who have not had the benefit of caring psychic guidance and who have still managed to develop and hone this natural extra sense. The Psychic Sense.

But on the other hand, if you want to use the Tarot as an oracle, a form of divination that needs no real ‘psychic ability’, then keep the books and use the meanings and spreads if you prefer.
