0 The Fool

By their own follies they perished, the fools. - Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Odyssey

The Fool marches forth confident and secure in the knowledge that should she step off the edge of the world, she would not fall but instead soar through the clouds. She represents an almost childlike sense of wonder, combined with a certain degree of naiveté that can act as a shield against the harshness of the world around her. It is not so much a matter of lacking intelligence, but rather a blissful ignorance which surrounds the Fool.

The Fool can also the victim of her own foolishness. By walking the path with blinders, she risks the possibility of the occasional misstep. Although she often overlooks this risk in favor of the rewards of a blissful existence, she would do well to remember that it takes only one such misstep at an untimely moment to bring about the end of all things.

The Fool represents: beginnings, boldness, blind faith, feeling carefree, excitement, fresh starts, journeys and wonderment.

The Fool inverted represents: carelessness , cowardice, fear, indulgence, stagnation, recklessness and wastefulness
