The Fool - Llewellyn Tarot
The Fool - Tarot of Marseilles
“You are the heart, the raven, the coyote, the monkey king of China, the Hermes of Classical Greece. You are the agent provocateur, the liar, the cheat, the thief, the gambler, the eroticist, the f**k-it-all malcontent that makes it all happen.”
I re-posted this from last year because I love it so much. I can’t even find the source of the quote now…Does anyone any idea…?
Happy April Fool’s Day. As I am sure you know by now, The Fool is not so foolish at ALL.
When The Fool pops up in a Tarot reading – if not surrounded by contradictory or tricky cards – to take a grand leap of faith. The Quantum Leap. It’s the start-over card.
Our image for today is from the Spirit of the Flowers Tarot. This darling little Fool, as the flower Geranium, also embodies the spirit of spring. In Victorian times, flowers (and even the method of presenting or holding them) were symbolic. Geranium communicated the idea of impatient desire. That’s how many of us are feeling right now…impatiently ready for Spring.
Looking at this image, we see that he is determined to keep moving but his little dog seems to be distracting him.
Is there something that you impatiently desire to do? What is holding you back? What is distracting you? These questions and this image lead to a spread that you might want to try in preparation for Spring. We want to shake off the lingering hibernating energies of Winter. We want to unfurl our limbs. We want to wake up our slumbering enthusiasm.
