Talk:Faith Arcana

The Visconti-Sforza tarot deck has all of the standard Arcana: World, Angels (Judgement), Sun, Moon, Star, Temperance, Death, Traitor (Hanged Man), Old Man (Hermit), Wheel of Fortune, Fortitude (Strength), Chariot, Justice, Love (Lovers), Pope (Hierophant), Emperor, Popess (High Priestess), Empress, Mounteback (Magician), and Fool. The only missing Arcana are, understandably, the Devil and the Tower. Hope, Charity, and Faith are separate, distinct additions to the usual trump Arcana.

Another ancient deck utilizing Arcana trumps, Minchiate deck (info can be easily found/searched), originating from the early 1500s, have the theological virtues as clearly distinct trumps, separate from the Pope, Popess, and Star. The Minchiate deck uses all 7 virtues: Temperance (6), Strength (7), Justice (8), Hope (16), Prudence (17), Faith (18), and Charity (19). High Priestess is absent, but all other 21 standard trumps are present, in addition to the other 4 virtues. Pope/Hierophant (4) and Star (36) are clearly different Arcana than the virtues.
