The Fool

“The Fool card is numbered 0, which is considered to be a number of infinite potential. Consider him a blank slate, for The Fool has yet to develop a clear personality. He is the symbol of innocence – his journey to come will shape his character yet.

To see the The Fool generally means a beginning of a new journey, one where you will be filled with optimism and freedom from the usual constraints in life. When we meet him, he approaches each day as an adventure, in an almost childish way. He believes that anything can happen in life and there are many opportunities that are lying out there, in the world, waiting to be explored and developed. He leads a simple life, having no worries, and does not seem troubled by the fact that he cannot tell what he will encounter ahead.

To meet him in a reading can also be seen as a call to the risk-taking part of your own character. He inspires courage, for he understands that every day is a chance to open up new areas in your life, and with that comes a mixture of anticipation, wonder, awe and curiosity. The Fool is there to show that you can never really tell what lies ahead, and you can only greet it with joy.”

I’d just like to put out there that if anyone is EVER curious as to what I’m using in my pictures, I gladly welcome any questions and will happily share the info, whether it be a comment or a private message. Most of my scenes for the tarot pictures use a combination of HappyMood, A.N.C. Ltd., Studio Skye, and Cerridwen’s Cauldron.

I love seeing The Fool most times in a reading. I mean, forget the fact that he’s about to walk off a friggen’ cliff. (Don’t really, cause it’s a part of the message, but not in a bad way!) New adventures and greeting it with joy… isn’t that a great way to look at life?

Side note: I know Labryinthos has reversal meanings for each card as well. Some readers choose to read cards upright and reversed. I do not. I only read them as upright. The reason being is that pretty much every card in there has another card that counteracts it… Its reverse. So it’s a bit redundant, in my opinion. But each person has their own way to interpret the cards and I encourage you to read them as they call to you.
