You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins

the journey into the unknown. To do this, he

does not regard the world he knows as firm

and fixed. He has a seemingly reckless

disregard for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite

deck, he is seen stepping off a cliff with

his gaze on the sky, and a rainbow is there

to catch him. In order to explore and expand,

one must disregard convention and conformity.

Those in the throes of convention look at the

unconventional, non-conformist personality

and think What a fool. They lack the point of

view to understand The Fool's actions. But

The Fool has roots in tradition as one who is

closest to the spirit world. In many tribal

cultures, those born with strange and unusual

character traits were held in awe. Shamans

were people who could see visions and go on

journeys that we now label hallucinations and

schizophrenia. Those with physical

differences had experience and knowledge that

the average person could not understand. The

Fool is God. The number of the card is zero,

which when drawn is a perfect circle. This

circle represents both emptiness and

infinity. The Fool is not shackled by

mountains and valleys or by his physical

body. He does not accept the appearance of

cliff and air as being distinct or real.
