Shall we start from the beginning? The Fool
I always look at a card’s image before I read its meaning to see what pops out at me; to see if I get the sense of the meaning through it’s image. I’m only sometimes partially correct. Maybe I focus only on a minor aspect of the card, who knows…. Anyway, what popped out at me from the image of The Fool’s card was that dark cave that he emerged from. It was the first thing I noticed before the image of The Fool himself. I’m just curious, what pops for all of you when you look at the Fool card?
This card kind of confuses me a bit. I don’t know whether to take it as a good message or bad one. When I read about Dionysos, the god of wine, I understand why he is used to represent the Fool. The Fool to me, evokes a sense of loss of self control, lack of level-headedness, not thinking about what he’s about to do, throwing caution to the wind and lets what will happen, just happen. In Dionysos’ story, he was the same way it seems. God of wine (intoxication, losing control), being struck with madness by Hera and wandering the world. To me, this card evokes those thoughts in me, more so than that of it’s meaning that a change is in order and a risk must be taken.
I guess what I’m wondering is, does the Fool card always mean something about change or can it be interpreted along those other lines?
