Is the Fool the soul or spirit; or is the wallet the soul?
In the Pictorial Key he says of the Fool, "He is the spirit in search of experience."
Yet in his description of the Fool in his 1909 Occult Review article he says, "On the spiritual plane it is the soul. . ."
Again, in the Pictorial Key, the section entitled "Conclusion as to the Greater Keys," he says,
"In conclusion as to this part, I will give these further indications regarding the Fool, which is the most speaking of all the symbols. He signifies the journey outward, the state of the first emanation, the graces and passivity of the spirit. His wallet is inscribed with dim signs, to shew that many sub-conscious memories are stored up in the soul."
This makes it sound like the wallet symbolizes the soul.
Anyone have any thoughts on this or know what to make of it?
