'''Hunger''' is an [[Arcana]] in {{Link|Game|P4G}}. The Hunger Arcana comes from the Lust Arcana in Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck.{{Note|The non-Tarot de Marseille in ''Persona 4 Golden'' comes from the Thoth deck. This applies to both Adachi and Marie's arcana. This can be recognized by their numbering and by their Japanese arcana names being the same as the Japanese arcana names for the Thoth deck.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author=|url=[https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E3%83%88%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%88&oldid=12530295 Thoth Tarot at Japanese Wikipedia]<!--i purposely picked the wiki edit from 2007 to show when aeon and lust were added instead of a newer entry-->|archive=|published=2021|retrieved=2023|site=Wikipedia|type=Article}}</ref>}} Numbered at 11, Lust is the Thoth version of [[Strength (Arcana)|Strength]].
