I've been studying some of the symbolism of the Waite-Smith cards, using various sources. One of the sources suggested the cliff/precipice was the place where the Fool stepped from the spiritual plane into the physical plane. So then I'm wondering if the Fool is the soul...
I also read that the eight-spoked wheels on his tunic represent Spirit, but also the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. So then I begin wondering how many times the Fool has stepped off this cliff in another incarnation, and where he might land among the cards this time...
