Story of the fools journey:
0 - Fool - Starting for no reason, with no experience or direction
2 - Spinner - Guided along by unseen forces, creating a tapestry without planning to do so, but no mistakes can be made because there is no right or wrong from which to judge the product
1 - Genius (Magus) - The attention is turned to the act of creation and everything that can be imagined can be simply manifested
8 - Serpent (High Priestess) - The descent into complexity is driven by a desire to discover more than can be imagined, to push into and through the tapestry woven by the spinner, to get involved and play a game where the outcome is unknown.
3 - Hermit - Recently separated from source, with deep and secret knowledge that cannot be explained or applied now that we have descended into the web of being.
4 - Hierophant - The hermit becomes the creator of sacred and mysterious ritual that communicate beyond what can be known
9 - Star - Moving beyond ritual to simply make manifest greater and richer states of being. Coming to the realization that every way of being is sacred and perfect no matter where it leads or what it manifests
10 - Lovers - In this game we find our partner, our opponent, the game is made richer as we play off of and against an knowable other.
5 - Chariot - Chasing after the other we choose to move beyond, searching a great quest and purpose that will be a beacon to light our way.
6 - Adjustment (Justice) - The purpose that drove us this far now requires us to act decisively, both to change the world as we find it and also to change ourselves to adjust to new circumstance. We begin to lose clear and singular focus and must learn to balance.
11 - Death - We learn to accept that everything changes. Every choice cuts off other possibilities. We are in the flow of time and subject to loss, loss of those we love and even ourselves.
12 - Fortune - We learn to assign meaning to the random events around us, we spin a mythology.
7 - Lust (Strength) - We learn risk it all, even knowing what may come, we ride the chaos of being.
13 - Hanged Man - Coming out of the tempest we come to the eye of the storm, we now intentionally interrupt action. We stop and wait until revelation arrives.
14 - The Devil - Having made a sacrifice of ourselves we now manifest the sacred secret and fire. We are blessed and cursed to be ourselves. That which binds us is that we are ourselves.
16 - Art (Temperance) - Having come to understand ourselves, our own nature, we are now find ourselves capable of authentically expressing ourselves.
17 - Emperor - We move beyond just expressing ourselves, we take control of others and the world around us. We discover and wield authority.
15 - The Tower - We push our power to its breaking point, and are broken. We learn the limits of our power and have to pick ourselves up from disaster.
18 - The Sun - We now accept that we don’t control everything, and that we don’t need to. The sun has risen on a new day after disaster. We learn to enjoy this moment we are in without grand plans.
19 - The Universe (The Earth) - No longer caught up in our own drama, we find the richness of the world around us. We learn to look beyond ourselves.
20 - Moon - We find mysteries manifest around us. Questions that cannot be answered. Questions of meaning and being, purpose. We find subtle influences and repeating patterns.
25 - Dream - We dream of new marvelous things that are not and can never be. We move beyond ourselves and beyond the world to find a beyond that cannot be expressed, that which cannot be, and yet we experience it.
26 - The Aeon - We understand that there is a knowledge beyond knowing, which is simultaneously infinitely complex and completely simple. We know that true knowing can not be known.
21 - Judgement - We pass judgement and exercise judgement, particularly upon ourselves. We hold ourselves to high standards. We hold ourselves to our own standard.
22 - Self-love - We learn not just harshness of discipline, but also love of our perfection in imperfection. We embrace ourselves as we find ourselves and do not wish to be other.
24 - Rapture - Having passed through harshness and gentleness we find pleasure in all things, a transcendent radiant pleasure that annihilates the context itself that delivered us to this point.
27 - Shadow - We turn now to find a deeper meaning to all we have known. Our experience so far seems so perfect that it feels there must be something more. We see the world as we have known it as but shadows upon a wall of a cave, we seek the source.
23 - Acephale - The headless one, we move beyond meaning itself. We realize that our pursuit of “understanding” itself prevents us from experiencing and “knowing”.
28 - Tunnels - We move towards a greater darkness, leaving behind all we know or think we know. We move beyond ourselves… and emerge again as the fool.
