It was certainly an appropriate timing to post about Bel in the Northern Hemisphere, firemaiden
With regards to Gargans and Tarot's depiction of the Fool, I think it was in one of the other threads on the card in which I mentioned it... and especially as its 'typical', or at least common as I recall from childhood in central France, imagery reminiscent of imagery found in Rabelais.
Actually, to be more precise, imagery mixing both Colporteur type depiction and the Giant mad and simlutaneously scary but benign depictions.
A good example of this is from the misnamed 'Charles VI' deck. Though on the imagery, one may certainly take the diminutive figures to be either children or normal sized adults compared to the gigantic proportions of the main figure, there is also that element of the human vs the superhuman.
On the other hand, the relative size of imagery is quite consistent with relative proportions as depicted from ancient times and especially during the middle ages, whereby a more important figure - whether Pope or Emperor, was often depicted as larger than other individuals.
In the depiction attached, what it also quite fascinating (from my perspective) is that the central main figure holds what appears to be a string with fourteen spheres... it would be in the fourteenth week
from a major festival that the ensuing one would take place. Those celebrating Beltane, along with Lugh's day, Samhain, and Oilmec would be well aware of this from personal experience.
As a counting-string which measures festival time until festival time, it is hence quite apt. Of course, it could further be fine-tuned by periodical astrological reference (interestingly by working out the mid-points - ie, 15 degree points - of the four fixed zodiacal signs, or their closest or ensuing full Moons). Though this goes a little off-topic, using the Full Moons isn't as 'pagan' as it may sound, by the way. There is even to this day a Melbourne based Masonic Lodge which continues to time its meetings according to the Saturday closest to the Full Moon - simply as a continuation of the days before cars and street-lighting: a very pragmatic choice!
Measuring, then, festivities according to such would also lend additional credence to the Fool as imfluenced by Lunar tendencies (Lunatic).
Returning to Bel, the Sun's festivals, mirrored by Lunar ones, would seem both appropriate and quite meaningful. If one looks again at the sense for the flurry of activity (and some possible igniteous rolling through the meadows - presumably in the arms of another), the abandonment may further give a sense for both Bel as the gifts of the Blessed Sun, madness associated with spring, and the stoning of a feared giant.
But here is the image:
