This is a follow on exercise from Part One The Beginning.
Here we will look at each card in depth and see what we all think and feel about it. We will move from single word meanings to an in depth view of the variations that The Fool can stand for in other packs.
For instance, The Fool makes me think of the words - sunny, joy, dog playing, on trip or journey.
The next time you look you might notice more like the edge of the cliff, perhaps the dog is trying to warn him about falling about not looking, ignorance at danger?
See? Its not that difficult, and those are just my take on the card, you will see and feel different because of your life's journey, your experiences and so on No books needed and no wrong meanings, so don't worry see what the cards mean to you... All this takes is the time to really look at each card, I bet that each one will soon tell you a story and talk..
What do you see in this card?
If you have any pictures of The Fool from other decks post them here so we can all see them and discuss them too. |
The sun rises from the East. The early riser is awake and begins his journey early, but stopped to smell the roses on the way. It is a white rose, representing his purity which blooms as vibrant as the snow. He is holding the fragile stem at a distance from the cliff, making note to preserve it's delicate flower. He teeters at the edge, so as to hear his delightful song's echo clearly ricocheting off the high walls of the mountains. His loyal pup, nervous and protective of the young master, anxiously hops and yips a warning beside him. He too is white, but does not appear to have as careful footing as the boy. The dog is the boy's companion and responsibility, a living creature who faces grave danger due to the boy's careless impulse. He would tumble into the unexpecting, cold and untouched great world below. Although the boy may celebrate his own precious existence, he will be burdened with guilt, shame and loneliness if he neglects and tarnishes the innocence of God's lesser creations and gracious resources.
