Appearance :
My Fool is dressed in Jester’s garb with a crown of laurel leaves & a red feather. He carries his
possesions in a bundle over his shoulder & carries a staff. He is oblivious to the fact that he
appears to be about to walk over a cliff. His dog is jumping up as if to warn him.
Interpretation :
As with many of my cards I am the model for The Fool. I along with a lot of people have indeed spent
periods of my life wandering aimlessly with no real thought to my eventual destination.In this card
The Fool seems un-aware that he is about to fall into the abyss. The colours in the card represent
the myriad stimuli that distract The Fool at every turn. The Fool is spiritually aware but follows
aspects of all systems rather than organised religion.
His napsack ( in my case a NIKE shoebag ) is filled with gadgets ( 3 iPods ! ) and various
accumulated things deemed ‘important’, unfinished books & papers. The truth is he is slightly
mad !. Borderline dispraxic he is unable to quite exist in the real world. His view of life is very different
from other peoples & he finds it impossible to focus on one thing at a time. Everything seems equally
important. He is a dreamer & a visionary, an inspired lunatic.

My Relationship with The Fool
I totally relate to The Fool. A few years ago I was tested & found
to be on the “autistic spectrum”. While I am in no way debilitated by
this it suddenly brought my life in to focus. I am indeed like The Fool
and often exist in my own little world. I find it difficult to relate
in many common social situations. I am often not sure when or if to
speak & can go too far or talk incessantly. I have perfected
'listening' to people, but have in fact formulated my answer before
they have even finished the question. Boredom is a problem & my
mind flits & is just as un-focussed as The Fool, I would indeed fall
over the cliff …
Thank God for Apple computers, one symptom is a constant quest for
information. With my trusty Powerbook in my backpack I can quickly find
out how to do anything ! I in fact am learning to enjoy being on a
different frequency & it has certainly helped me focus on the
journey of Tarot.
