Profile

The Cary-Yale Faith card

Unlike the other Major Arcana, the Faith Arcana is not a traditional Arcana and originates from the Cary-Yale deck of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot, continuing the tradition of updated Persona versions including a new Tarot not from the major Arcana, alongside the Councillor Arcana. As it is not a variant of any existing Major Arcana, it has no number. Faith is one of the three theological virtues in Catholic thought along with hope and charity, and all three were included in the original deck. The original card depicts what appears to be a pope above a king, likely representing the concept that secular rulers are subject to the Church's authority.

Because the Faith Arcana is not from a popular Tarot Deck, no external notions can be made about its esoteric meaning. In Persona 5 Royal, the Faith Arcana represents trust, faith, and belief, and can represent a misguided or falsehood version of those in its "reversed" state, such as the white-bordered version of the card the protagonist receives upon meeting Kasumi Yoshizawa for the first time.

Personas of the Faith Arcana are heroic figures, protectors, and otherwise mythological creatures.
