The Fool
The Fool depicts the Alchemist at the outset of the Work, embodying the beginning of a transformative process. His blindfold equates to ignorance, signaling a lack of awareness as he steps forward. He is presented as a naive beginner whose guide is a rabbit, implying an instinctive or unexpected companion on the path. The card's symbol points to the squaring of the circle, a description of the Opus, tying the image to alchemical symbolism and the paradoxical aim of uniting opposites.
