[continued]

Somewhere earlier* – I cannot now find where – I added M~ and G~ to the Tarot Pack as two 'Jokers', making 80 cards in all – noting that this seemed a more satisfactory number than 78.

I now note** that the total number of Christ's Apostles and Disciples, in an accepted variant, is 80: 12 Apostles (the number of the Tribes of Israel) and 72 other Disciples (the traditional number of Gentile nations).
