Kabbalah: Fool=Shin ~ Why?
Many thinkers have chosen to place The Fool between 20 and 21,
but give it no number, and assign it the alpha-numeric letter Shin.
Is this done to give "closure" to the alphabet, rather than leave it
open-ended, which is the natural "conclusion" of the sequence?
Aleph leads to Taw leads to Aleph, in a natural and organic way,
but perhaps in order to force the abstract Kabbalah designations
there must be a physical end to the structure, a man-made stop.
Since the earliest written associations, The Fool is made '21' Shin.
What purpose does this serve? What problem does it solve? Why?
