So there are 2 missing cards in modern decks: Juno and Jupiter. Old decks had 24 Major, making the deck 80 cards strong.

"In some of the Medieval decks Jupiter takes the place of the Hierophant. To understand the reason for this you should reference what the planet represents but basically it is about external, moral authority. In Greek mythology he is Zeus, so answers to no one."

and

"The two extra cards 'restored' to the deck are Intuition, represented by Juno and standing for the female, negative, and yin aspect; and Truth, represented by Jupiter and standing for the male, positive, yang aspect. The authors, Onno and Rob Docters van Leeuwen, believe that these two cards were historically part of a Tarot deck, but that Jupiter and Juno had been lost; the only vestiges remaining being the two blank cards including in many Tarot decks. The authors are very definite that this is the correct order and number of cards, and that the Tarot can only be properly worked with in this form."

There's a similar piece here

So adding to the firehouse feel.

Just a thought. I'm on my iPad so can't do much photo manipulation, but could someone with a computer see if they can read what's in the back of that paper article? Flip it and whack the contrast up, the usual. I can make out odd words, but not enough to tell if there's anything significant there.

Also, there are four corners of the earth and four suits in the minor arcana. I wonder if that is linked at all?
