Tarot Cards are the individual cards of the Tarot Deck, a type of
playing card deck occasionally used for divination and standard games. A
standard Tarot deck will consist of seventy-eight cards. Twenty-two of
these are uniquely numbered and illustrated with Roman numerals and are
called the Major Arcana, and fifty-six, separated in four suits (Coins,
Cups, Wands and Swords) which compose the Minor Arcana from One to Ten,
and the additional cards of Page, Knight, Queen and King for each suit.
The Tarot is a powerful thematic element of the Persona series, as it
is used to help define a person in various ways, revealing what it is
what they truly are under the everyday masks that culminate in
the formation of a Persona. The Tarot cards and the concept of Persona
are important elements in Jungian imagery and psychotherapy, which are
the bases for the series.
A list of the Major Arcana cards follows:
- Arcana 0: The Fool
- Arcana 1: The Magician
- Arcana 2: The High Priestess
- Arcana 3: The Empress
- Arcana 4: The Emperor
- Arcana 5: The Hierophant
- Arcana 6: The Lovers
- Arcana 7: The Chariot
- Arcana 8: Justice
- Arcana 9: The Hermit
- Arcana 10: Fortune
- Arcana 11: Strength
- Arcana 12: The Hanged Man
- Arcana 13: Death
- Arcana 14: Temperance
- Arcana 15: The Devil
- Arcana 16: The Tower
- Arcana 17: The Star
- Arcana 18: The Moon
- Arcana 19: The Sun
- Arcana 20: Judgement
- Arcana 21: The World
The order of the eighth and eleventh arcanas are interchangeable due
to the influence of Rider-Waite decks in Tarot, as they reversed the
original order of the two so their divination method would fit better
with several astrology compendiums.
As for personae is some kind of manifestation of persons Personality. for more informations please read these:
- "I am thou... Thou art I..."
- —The line most Personas say upon awakening
A Persona is a manifestation of a person's personality in the Persona series, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. A Persona is similar to a Shadow.
Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a
Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained.
If an individual takes up a resolution in his or her heart, the Persona
will undergo a metamorphosis into a stronger form.
While the summoning sequences of a Persona differs from one installment
to the next, a tradition that later adaptions follow is that blue-ish
fogs are always released when a Persona is invoked.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin
- "An imposter, born out of our rumors, isn't it...? It's just
like what happened with our Shadows. Another "self" that was created in
the minds of others. "People only know about themselves through how
others perceive them". The existence of our "ego" originates in others.
We compare ourselves to others, and we are conscious of how our image is
perceived when we are among others. That's when "we" really start to be
created. I think that means for every person we meet, we have yet
another "self" formed out of their perceptions."
- —Maya Amano
Persona 3: FES
- "Personas and Shadows are the same thing. That's why you're
able to fight them in the first place. Did you all think that Shadows
were mysterious invaders or something? Shadows are the lower parts of
the psyche everyone has... Suppressed human thoughts given physical
form. When people are unable to face their darker selves, they break
loose, free from all control. But sometimes, humans with special
awareness can tame their Shadows... Those are Persona-users. The
Shadows' power affects time and even space... Through your Personas,
your unspoken desires were manifested..."
- —Metis
Persona 4
- "A shadow is suppressed power, and when controlled by one's ego, it becomes a Persona..."
