Parrots often turn up as props in European fruit/food feast still life paintings, such as these works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (Austrian, 1793-1865):

1. Fruit Still Life with an Amazon Parrot, 1824

🆔Turquoise-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva), native to South America

2. Still Life with Fruit and Parrot, 1831

🆔female Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus), native to Australasia/Melanesia

(also note the fruiting pineapple plant in both!)

Tarot of Marseilles Fool 

0. THE FOOL  Crowley’s Thoth

[Note that ‘Fool’ is derived from ‘follis’, a wind-bag. Even etymology gives the attribution to Air. Also, to puff out the cheeks is a gesture implying readiness to create, in the sign-language of Naples. Worse, some English Guardians of Democracy impute folly to others by the “Razzberry”.]

• The Formula of Tetragrammaton

• The “Green Man” of the Spring Festival, “April Fool,” The Holy Ghost

• The “Great Fool” of the Celts (Dalua)

• “The Rich Fisherman”; Percivale

• The Crocodile (Mako, Son of Set, or Sebek)

• Hoor-Pa-Kraat

• Zeus Arrhenotheleus

• Dionysus Zagreus; Bacchus Diphues

• Baphomet   

The really important feature of this card is that its number should be 0. It represents therefore the Negative above the Tree of Life, the source of all things. It is the Qabalistic Zero. It is the equation of the Universe, the initial and final balance of the opposites; Air, in this card, therefore quintessentially means a vacuum. In the medieval pack, the title of the card is Le Mat, adapted from the Italian Matto, madman or fool; the propriety of this title will be considered later. But there is another, or (one might say) a complementary, theory. If one assumes that the Tarot is of Egyptian origin, one may suppose that Mat (this card being the key card of the whole pack) really stands for Maut, the vulture goddess, who is an earlier and more sublime modification of the idea of Nuith than Isis.    

Should The Fool be numbered 22 or 0?
