About this deck

Oswald Wirth’s Les 22 Arcanes is catalogued here as the 1889 trump series. It is a 22-card historical work, not a complete 78-card deck. Minor Arcana comparisons are explicitly inapplicable.

What changes in the representation

Wirth’s 1889 series is a set of 22 trumps. Its French titles and ordering form a distinct representation; it does not supply Wands, Cups, Swords or Pentacles cards for a full reading.

Names and numbers

La Justice is VIII; La Force is XI. The Star is labelled LES ETOILES in the supplied 1889 mapping. Preserve the plural title when comparing it with Conver’s L’ETOILE.

Interpretation profile: TarotGaze Core · RWS. A representation change does not supply deck-specific meanings.
