The Fool
The Fool depicts a figure at the edge of a cliff carrying only a small bag and a rose, accompanied by a dove and a wolf pup, symbolizing innocence, guidance, and the tensions between wildness and peace. Fire depicted inside the cloak suggests creative as well as destructive potential, while the mantle of moss and the tree of life motif link the figure to nature and spiritual roots. Ascribed to Aleph (ox) and associated with Air, Aquarius, and Uranus, the card emphasizes intuition, freedom, and the impulsive energy of new beginnings. Upright it encourages leaps of faith, playful behavior, and pushing through challenges; reversed it warns of resistance to change, feeling blocked, or remaining stuck.

Description
A fool stands at the edge of a cliff. Their clothing displays a Jewish tree of life on them. The robes are dark in color, and a mantle of moss has been placed on their shoulders. The inside of their cloak is colored with fire, reminding us that fire can be a creative force as well as destructive. A small bag is tied to a branch which hangs over their shoulder. It holds the possessions the fool needs as they set out on this journey. A rose is delicately held between the fingers of their left hand. A dove flies in the air above. A wolf pup howls at the Fool by their feet.

Visual Description
A young figure stands near the edge of a rocky precipice, looking upward with a staff in hand and a knotted bindle slung over the shoulder. A small dog or wolf nuzzles at the figure's leg and two birds fly in the misty sky; a pale full moon and a circular, wheel-like symbol glow behind the head. The Roman numeral 0 appears at the top and the Cyrillic word "Дурак" is visible at the bottom along with a small watermark reading "TAROSHOP.RU".
