The Fool
The Fool represents a pure stream of untapped power and the beginning of the hero's journey, both external and internal. This card embodies infinite cosmic energy, eternal wisdom, cunning, and elemental spontaneity. It serves as the starting point of transformation, carrying the mythological essence of an Eastern djinn or ifrit - powerful, wise, and unpredictable forces of nature.

Essential Meaning
A pure stream of untapped power, the beginning of the hero's journey (including the inner journey). The mythological correspondence for this card can be drawn from practically any story, but what emerged was an Eastern djinn or ifrit - in my conception, this is precisely that infinite cosmic energy and the beginning of the path, eternal wisdom, cunning, and elemental nature.
Author's Note
This card has a real prototype among my friends.
Visual Description
A young man stands in three-quarter profile looking upward and reaching toward a bright star above him. He wears a patterned cloak and ornate garments with a blue sash, and a dark bird perches on his shoulder. The background is filled with stars, crescent moons and flowing golden constellations; a banner at the bottom reads “THE FOOL.”
