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.
