The Fool
The Fool represents the impulsive beginning of a new life cycle: a fresh, innocent leap into the unknown fueled by inspiration, strength, and fearlessness. It symbolizes great creative potential, nonconformism, and a blank slate ready for exploration without plans or doubt. Upright, it points to journey, activity, and the chaos of experimentation; reversed, it warns of imprudence, recklessness, and careless adventures. The card emphasizes youthful naivety and irresponsibility as both a source of freedom and a risk.

Description
Description Text
As Mother Earth awakens from a long winter sleep, flowers and grass begin to grow towards the warm sun. The whole world is covered with a spring green carpet from edge to edge. A young, fresh wind rushes over the vast meadows and you race with him, not understanding the road. You are a child of nature, a young and pure creation of the sacred spring. You are inspiration, strength and naivety, fury and fearlessness. Your life is a blank slate. You spread your wings, try your strength, and you're ready to fly like a bird. Your leap is the beginning of the path into the unknown: no plans, no thinking, no doubt — only forward motion! "Fool!" exclaims one, "Hero," others will call you, but the strength of your soul will not leave anyone indifferent. Your path begins here.

Visual Description
A red-haired youth in green patterned clothing steps off a grassy cliff, one arm reaching up toward a glowing white orb in the sky. He is barefoot amid a mass of bright yellow-orange flowers and several translucent spheres, and a floral wreath drifts from his other hand. Below the cliff a sandy beach meets calm blue water, and a wide pale-blue sky fills the background.
