A bit about the Fool

We begin the journey of the Major Arcana with the archetype of the Fool. Artistic renderings of the Fool usually depict a figure in full stride near the edge of a cliff. Their eyes are to the sky, their energy light, unfazed by the danger of their surroundings. The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck (picture above) shows a baby chick with one foot off the branch that has been holding them steady until this point. Will they fly or will they fall? No one knows, not even the Fool. But the Fool is not concerned with knowing. The Fool does not worry if or when they might fall because they know that a life well-lived is full of ups and downs, highs and lows, wins and losses. This is the stuff of our aliveness. The Fool knows that the only truly foolish choice would be to never try for fear of falling.

When you pull this card, you are being reminded that it is never too late to begin anew and go for what you most deeply desire in life. The Fool implies a universal and innate human longing to know your full aliveness. When you pull this card you are being asked to consider how you might release the need for certainty and awaken a sense of wonder.
