All About Tarot: The Major Arcana

The Fool

The Fool, sometimes called "The Jester", "The Pilgrim", "Le Mat (The Madman)", or "l Matto (The Beggar)", is a part of the Major Arcana.

This is normally the first card you pull when you first get the deck unshuffled, usually this is card 0.

Upright this card has associations with beginnings, possabilities, impulsiveness, innocence, a free spirit, diving head first into new things like starting a new journey, eagerness, opportunity, potential, folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment and more.

Reversed this card can be associated with apathy, hesitation, a faulty choice, doldrums, recklessness, negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, nullity, vanity, not being ready for new things, a warning to be cautious especially to be waring of being taken advantage of and more.

In general getting readings with this card often means you may or may not be ready to jump into something new or should be ready for a change to happen. Though of course thats still entirely up to interpretation.

common depictions on this card tend to include a young person, a beggar or vagabond, yellows, blues and reds, often the person looking in a direction they seem to be heading or thinking about going.

Thes very common for art of the fool card to show a young man or person holding a bag on an end of a stick walking down a path and/or a person in a jester's hat or full court jester-like outfit.

the art very much represents the "jumping head first into a new journey" aspect of the interpretations as well as the definitions or common interpretations of a fool.

TAROT BREAKDOWN WITH DATURA Of course, we begin with card 0. Better known as "The Fool." I'd like to take a deep dive into the components that make up each major arcana tarot card. This post was heavily inspired by Claire Nakti's Nakshatra breakdown videos! KEYWORDS: Youth, Naivety, Exploration, New Beginnings, Blind Faith, Curiosity.

When I personally think of the fool I do in some sense think of complete and utter madness. Not in the idea that The Fool is necessarily insane, though I'm sure to many he does look unhinged. I mean, he is traipsing right off the edge of a cliff after all. The fool is an adventure, the courage to step out into this world and seek. No matter how others may look at you. The divinity of the fool is rooted in the mystery of the universe. We never truly know what comes next, but the fool, with confidence- or... is it naivety? Waltzes right in ready to face it all. We never truly know what lies ahead, the world is ever shifting. In this human experience, much like the fool, the best we can is take a leap of faith in order to gain an understanding. Let's begin.

Like I said, The Fool represents the idea that we can never know the entire circumstance. It tells us to engage in our childlike wonder, to dream big, explore, and let go of expectations- or to even have whatever expectations we want. It's up to the individual. I feel this card is an expression of the inner child in many senses. It may not be the 6 of cups, but we all start out as the fool; and many times over we will revisit this state of innocence or not knowing. Only to discover and explore in order to attain more knowledge. Sometimes we are purposefully blinded in order to take a leap of faith and re-experience ourselves. When we recall that everything is a reflection of us, then the obvious answer as to WHY we are blinded is so that we may develop a deeper understanding of our mind, body, and soul. In a way you could say The Fool represents diving right directly into the chaos with a grin on your face. Knowing that you don't know, but being prepared to spread your wings and attempt to fly. The hands on experience brought to us by the Fool is what brings our first piece of enlightenment & gives us the tools to maneuver the world in a way suited to your soul's purpose. The divinity of the fool deals in part with how sacred our childhood years and innocence are truly meant to be.

It appears to me that more often than not the fool can rather unfairly be attributed to stupidity. You wouldn't call a child stupid, would you? The sanctity of childhood has been ripped away by a cold & uncaring society. We are taught that children should be seen and not heard. That the naturally explorative & outgoing nature of childlike curiosity should be shamed and punished. Our expressions are shut down, punished, and rejected by adults and as we reach into middle and high-school by our peers as well. Many people are not given the opportunity to truly experience the mysterious wonder of childhood without scars and deeply rooted trauma. Is innocence or Ignorance truly stupidity?
