The Fool

✦ Beginning of the Journey

Everything started with a whisper. A treacherous song permeated her days and thoughts, beckoning her: 'Come... come... come...' 'Where?' she asked with curiosity, but no answer came.

✦ The Siren's Song

She didn't pay attention to the calls until one day the siren's song suddenly erupted and filled her to the brim. Its pulsation was undeniable. 'Where to?' she asked again, and this time the steady beat of her heart was the answer.

✦ A Long Journey Ahead

She had traveled a long way from distant lands to reach this peak at the world's edge, yet her journey was only beginning. She instinctively feels it as she stands on her tiptoes, embracing the thrilling wind before diving down. Her heart beats with the power of a hundred flapping wings, striving to break free from the prison of her flesh until she feels the need to spread her wings behind her and glide away, transformed.

✦ A Voice of Caution

Wait! No! - pleaded a thin, inner voice. Be careful! Danger! - it warned. Hold on!

✦ Ignoring the Warning

Ignoring it, she stepped forward, and...

✦ On the Brink of a Precipice

She stands at the edge of a sheer cliff, supported only by pigeons in ribbons, waiting to decide to jump. A Fox watches this. He observes. He is the embodiment of cleverness, but being clever doesn't prevent one from being a fool. He cannot comprehend the leap of faith she is about to take. So, who is the Fool — her, stepping into the unknown that seems utterly illogical, or the Fox, too firmly rooted in the belief of intellectual thought realities?

✦ Card Meaning

✦ New Beginnings and Adventures

The Fool is a symbol of new beginnings and adventures, joy, and passion. She rushes forward recklessly and swiftly, acting first and thinking later, obeying instincts. Like The Fool, you may be standing over a precipice, peering into the Unknown. The seemingly boundless blue of Nothingness fills the space between what lies above the eagle's nest and the distant ground. There is either unconscious recklessness before the terrifying leap you might experience or a wild spirit of adventure and a vast faith and understanding of what can or will support and guide you through the coming times. Unlimited possibilities open up to the seeker.
